Privacy & cookies
Last updated September 18, 2026
Your garden progress stays in your browser. If you choose to share gameplay analytics, it helps us spot confusing levels, improve upgrades, and make the game more fun.
Manage cookie preferencesYour choices
Optional analytics is off until you choose Accept all or enable gameplay analytics in Manage preferences. Essential only lets you play with analytics off. You can change your choice through Cookie settings on the title screen or in the run menu at any time. We also keep analytics off when your browser sends Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control.
Turning analytics off removes this browser’s analytics identifier and unsent events. It does not erase your game progress or events already received by PostHog. Clearing browser storage also clears your saved game and preferences.
What we save on your device
We use browser storage, including local storage and session storage, rather than advertising cookies. The cookie banner controls optional analytics storage as well as sending analytics events.
| Storage | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Game progress | Your current garden, honey, upgrades, settings, and run history. | Until you reset progress or clear browser storage. |
| Layout preference | Remembers Phone or Tablet and each device’s orientation on desktop. | Until changed or browser storage is cleared. |
| Privacy choice | Remembers whether you allow analytics. | 180 days, then we ask again. |
| Optional analytics identifier | A random identifier to recognize a returning browser. | Until you turn analytics off or clear browser storage. |
| Optional analytics session & queue | Groups activity in a tab and retries unsent events. | A new session after 30 minutes without recorded activity. Unsent events expire after 24 hours, with at most 100 held per tab. |
Optional gameplay analytics
With your permission, we send selected events to PostHog, our analytics provider, using its US service. Events include visits and return play, tutorial steps, garden levels and sizes, clears and bee hits, active play time, tools used, and upgrades or themes bought with in-game honey. We also include game version, phone or tablet layout and orientation, touch or mouse input, and random browser, session, and run identifiers.
We use this information to understand where players stop, which gardens are difficult, and whether upgrades and instructions are useful. Honey purchases are game actions, not payment transactions.
The game does not send your name, email address, full page URL, or referrer in analytics events. We do not record your screen or automatically track every click. Location enrichment is disabled. Like any service receiving a network request, PostHog receives connection information such as your IP address when an event is sent. Our random browser identifier is not connected to a game account.
Events already sent are stored in our PostHog project for gameplay analysis. The 24-hour queue limit above applies only to unsent events on your device, not to data already held by PostHog. Contact us if you want to ask about retention or request deletion.
Website delivery and fonts
Our hosting provider, DreamHost, receives ordinary request information needed to serve and operate the website, which can include your IP address and browser information. The game also loads fonts from Google Fonts, which receives the connection information required to deliver them. These requests are separate from optional gameplay analytics. See DreamHost’s privacy policy and Google Fonts’ privacy information.
Questions and data requests
Contact the Oh No, Bees! team at support@brainjunkie.com for privacy questions or requests to access or delete analytics data. Because the game has no sign-in, your email alone does not identify your analytics history. We may need your help locating the relevant browser identifier. Please do not send passwords or other sensitive information.
We will update this page if our use of data changes and ask for a new choice when needed.
