Privacy on Mottle Guide
Reading a guide, playing a round and opening a link to another service involve different requests from your browser. This page explains which service is involved in each action and where to look if you want to control what your browser stores.
When you read a guide
You can read the instructions and switch languages without creating a Mottle Guide account or entering an email address. Each language and topic has its own web address. For example, opening the rules page requests the article, its illustrations and the files your browser needs to display it. Cloudflare Pages serves these files. Like other web requests, the connection carries technical information, including the network address needed to return the page to your device.
When you open the playable homepage
The homepage also asks clide.app to load the embedded Mottle game. This happens when you open the page, before you tap the board to start a round. The game host receives the request from your browser. If you only want to read about the game, you can go straight to an article such as Controls or Rules. Those pages contain the written guide and a link back to the player.
Where your best score can be stored
The game can use browser storage to remember a personal best. The copy in the player belongs to the game’s origin. If you use another browser profile or clear the game’s site data, the score shown when you return may change. An embedded game and a game opened in its own tab may also have different storage available, depending on the browser’s privacy settings. To inspect or remove local data, open your browser’s site-data settings and look for the game host as well as the guide.
What the guide measures
On the public site, a statistics script measures visits to guide pages and interactions such as opening the original player. The site operator can use those measurements to see which pages readers visit and whether they follow the link to the standalone game. A click on that link records a navigation action. The guide does not receive your score, remaining lives or round result from the embedded board. If you use a browser content blocker, some measurements may not reach the statistics service.
Opening links to other services
Open original leads to 8x.gg in a separate tab. The creator credit leads to the work’s listing on the same platform. The AI links on the homepage open the selected provider with a prepared question about Mottle and links to this guide. You can read the plain-text game summary here without opening any of those services. Once you visit another site, its own privacy settings and terms apply to your activity there.
