Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We and our partners may use cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember preferences (such as music mute settings), measure traffic, and improve gameplay quality.
Google AdSense Cookies
Antakshari Online may use Google AdSense to display advertisements. After AdSense approval, Google may show personalized or non-personalized advertisements using cookies and similar technologies based on your visits to this and other websites.

If Google Analytics (or a similar analytics service) is enabled on Antakshari Online, it may collect aggregated usage information such as pages viewed, session duration, and approximate location. This helps us understand how players use the site and improve performance. Analytics tools may use cookies or similar identifiers.

We use Firebase Authentication to support Google sign-in and guest sessions. Authentication data is processed by Google Firebase according to Google’s privacy practices. We use this information only to identify players in rooms, friends lists, and leaderboards.

- Google Analytics or similar tools (if enabled)
- Hosting and CDN providers that deliver the website
These providers process data under their own privacy policies.

Antakshari Online is intended for a general audience. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without appropriate parental consent. If you believe a child has provided personal information, please contact us and we will take reasonable steps to delete it.
Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information against unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
