Cookie notice

Rule. Nothing served from axiominteractive.link writes to the machine you are reading on.

1.1 A cookie is a short record that a site asks your browser to keep and hand back on the next request. Local storage, session storage and indexed databases differ from it in size and lifetime and are identical to it in the respect that matters to this document: each leaves state behind on hardware belonging to you.

1.2 These pages leave none. No cookie is set, in any category, first party or otherwise. No key is written to local or session storage. No database is opened. No tracking pixel, tag container, session recorder or fingerprinting routine is present, for the reason given in clause 3.3.

1.3 One script is loaded, /lemma.js. It has two jobs: opening the navigation menu on a narrow screen, and fading sections in as they scroll into view. It queries no storage interface and writes to none, and the site remains usable with scripting switched off entirely.

1.4 Clause 1.2 is not offered as a promise. Open your browser's developer tools on any page here, select the storage panel, and reload: the cookie table is empty and the storage keys are absent. A statement of this kind earns its place on the page only because disproving it takes about ten seconds, and the reader who spends them owes us nothing afterwards.

Rule. Permission is owed at the point tracking begins, and clause 1.2 records that it does not begin.

2.1 No Australian statute regulates cookies as such. Where a cookie collects information about an identified individual, or one who is reasonably identifiable, the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles apply to it as they apply to any other collection, and the analysis in the privacy policy governs.

2.2 Because clause 1.2 holds, there is no collection here for APP 3 to permit and nothing for APP 5 to require notice of. An overlay asking you to agree to nothing would be decoration, and it would do measurable harm: it teaches the habit of dismissing the notice that eventually deserves to be read.

2.3 Should a page ever require storage, the notice arrives ahead of the storage rather than behind it, and clause 6.2 sets out how that sequence is recorded.

Rule. A request sent to a host you did not choose is a disclosure about you, whether or not a cookie travels with it.

3.1 Each page here asks fonts.googleapis.com for a stylesheet and fonts.gstatic.com for the type files it names. Both hosts belong to Google. Making those requests hands Google your IP address, the identifying string your browser sends about itself, and the address of the page that triggered the request. No cookie is set on either host for these files; the disclosure just described occurs anyway, which is the part worth writing down.

3.2 We are not going to defend that as harmless. Copying the type files onto this domain removes the request, and removing the request removes the disclosure. That change is on the list and is not yet made, and until the day it is made this clause stands in its place.

3.3 Apart from the two hosts named in clause 3.1, these pages fetch nothing from anywhere else. There is no script delivery network, no measurement endpoint, no advertising tag, no embedded player, map, comment box or share button. What arrives when you request a page is markup, one stylesheet, one script and one vector icon, and all four come from this domain.

Rule. A constraint a machine applies is worth more than a constraint a person is trusted to remember.

4.1 Every response from this site carries a Content Security Policy. Scripts and network connections are confined to this origin. Stylesheets are permitted from this origin and from the host named in clause 3.1; type files from the second host named there; images from this origin and from inline data. Requests outside that list are refused by your browser rather than by our good intentions.

4.2 The consequence is the point. If an advertising tag or a measurement beacon were pasted into a page here, by accident or by a later decision taken under pressure, your browser would decline to load it. Clause 1.2 cannot quietly stop being true: making it false requires editing this document and the response header together, and the header is a file in the same repository as the page you are reading.

4.3 The same header refuses framing, through both X-Frame-Options and a frame-ancestors directive, so these pages cannot be wrapped inside another site and read through it.

Rule. A puzzle that forgets what you solved is defective, and remembering is a job for the device rather than for a server.

5.1 This clause states the design that governs a title published by AXIOM INTERACTIVE PTY LTD; where a shipped build departs from it, the build is wrong and this clause is the record you hold us to.

5.2 A puzzle game has to retain which boards you finished, where you are in the sequence, and how you like the screen configured. That belongs in the private storage a mobile operating system grants an application. It is not a cookie, it is not reachable by a website, and it is deleted with the application.

5.3 Axiom 6 on the home page forbids progression that depends on when you last played, and axiom 5 forbids anything that watches how long you sit still. A save file carrying no timestamps, no streak counters and no expiry dates is not restraint on our part; it is what those two rules leave available.

5.4 The business model is advertising shown between puzzles, with a single purchase that removes it. An advertising network embedded in an application customarily writes identifiers into device storage on its own account and for its own purposes. This notice and the privacy policy name that network, state what it writes, state how long it persists, and state exactly what the purchase switches off, and they do so with the build that carries it rather than after it.

5.5 Nothing in clause 5 has any bearing on this website, which remains governed by clauses 1 to 4.

Rule. An amendment nobody can detect is the only kind worth worrying about, so the ability to make one is given up here.

6.1 Every issue of this notice is stamped with a number and the date it came into force, and both sit at the head of the page rather than buried at its foot.

6.2 An amendment that introduces storage, adds an outside host, or narrows any statement in clauses 1 to 5 is published before the thing it describes begins, never after. The superseded wording is retained and sent to anyone who asks at the address in clause 7.1.

6.3 An amendment that repairs a typographical error, or rewords a clause without altering its effect, increments the version number and changes nothing else.

Rule. One address receives everything, and each fact is written down in exactly one place.

7.1 Questions, corrections and disagreements about this notice go to [email protected]. Answers are written within five business days.

7.2 Personal information in general, including what correspondence is kept and for how long, sits in the privacy policy. The conditions on which this site is made available sit in the terms of use. Where those documents and this one describe the same fact, they are written to agree; if they ever disagree, the privacy policy governs and the discrepancy is a defect worth reporting.
