Privacy
The picker runs on your device. Player names and results are not sent to a server.
What this version stores
Preferences use your browser’s local storage under wgf:preferences:v1: reveal choice, sound and motion settings, input mode, and a schema version. Names, seat order, and stable player IDs are saved only if you turn on “Remember this group.” We don’t store results or a history of picks.
The score keeper saves player names and scores on this device under wgf:scores:v1 until you reset or clear site data.
Your light or dark appearance is saved separately under wgf:theme. If storage is blocked, the appearance switch still works for the current page.
Saved information stays until you forget it or clear this site’s browser data. Under Preferences, “Forget this group” clears the roster and returns to four seats. “Reset settings” resets preferences and stops remembering the current group. If storage is blocked, the picker works in memory and explains that changes may not persist.
What leaves your device
Loading a public website sends ordinary connection information, such as your IP address and requested page, to its host. The hosting provider is Cloudflare Pages. Cloudflare processes IP addresses and request metadata to deliver and protect the site. It retains personal information for periods based on its business purposes and legal obligations, as described in its privacy policy.
Advertising
Ad placements are currently paused. No ad unit is requested on any page.
Analytics
Google Analytics receives a page address without search parameters, the page title, and basic device information. Google may use analytics cookies to recognize repeat visits. We use page views to understand site traffic and count Amazon affiliate-link opens with a fixed partner label. This does not tell us whether a purchase occurred. Automatic form, site search, click, scroll, video, and download tracking is off, and Google signals are disabled.
Your choices
In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, Google’s consent message asks before Google tags use cookies. Until you answer, those tags run without cookies. Elsewhere, analytics starts on page load. No ad units are requested while advertising is paused.

You can turn off personalized ads across Google at My Ad Center, or visit aboutads.info and youronlinechoices.eu. Browser settings can also clear site data.
Affiliate links
As an Amazon Associate, Who Goes First? earns from qualifying purchases. Game pages link to Amazon search results for that game. The link contains the game name and our affiliate tag, nothing about you or your group. When analytics is active, we count an Amazon link open with a fixed partner label and clean page address, not a purchase or commission. Amazon’s own privacy notice applies once you follow it. Affiliate links never influence which rules we publish or what they say. Amazon and its logo are trademarks of Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates.
Game searches are filtered on your device. The query and directory filter are kept in the page’s URL fragment so Back, reload and bookmarks can restore them. Copied page addresses and browser history can include them; they are not added to page requests. Publisher source links open an external website only when you follow them; that website has its own privacy practices. There are no ads, AI calls, accounts, or session recording.
Sharing
“Share” shares or copies a clean link. It removes query strings and fragments and includes no names, group settings, or winner. Your browser or operating system handles its own sharing interface.
“Save on Pinterest” opens Pinterest with a public image, description, and page link. You choose a board and confirm there. Player names and results are not included, and we do not track whether you save a Pin. Pinterest handles its own account and privacy settings.
“Share on Bluesky” opens a draft with the public page title and a clean page link. You can edit it and choose whether to publish on Bluesky. Player names and results are not included, and we do not track whether you publish. Bluesky handles its own account and privacy settings.
The X, Facebook, WhatsApp, Telegram, Reddit, LinkedIn, and Threads icons open sharing drafts with a clean public page link. The email icon opens your email app with the public page title and link. The Instagram icon opens Instagram in a new tab and copies that link, with a manual copy field if clipboard access fails. These actions include no player names or results; you decide whether to publish.
