👋 Who We Are
Crabcake ("we", "us", or "our") operates the website located at crabcake.kids. We provide free, fun, and educational browser-based games and activities designed for children ages 4 to 10.
This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that information.
👶 Our Commitment to Children's Privacy (COPPA & GDPR-K)
Crabcake is designed for children and we take our obligations under the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) very seriously. For users in the United Kingdom and European Union, we also comply with the UK Children's Code and GDPR-K, which apply equivalent protections for children's personal data.
🌟 We do NOT collect, store, or share any personal information from children under the age of 13 without verifiable parental consent.
Our games are designed to be played without creating accounts, logging in, or providing any personal information whatsoever. Children can enjoy all content on Crabcake anonymously.
📊 Information We Collect
We collect the absolute minimum information necessary to operate our website:
- Usage Data (Cloudflare Web Analytics): We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to collect anonymous, aggregated data about how visitors use our site — such as which pages are visited, page load performance, browser type, operating system, and country of visit (no city or precise location). Cloudflare Web Analytics does not use cookies, does not use fingerprinting, and does not collect or store any personally identifiable information. No individual user can be identified from this data. You can review Cloudflare's privacy policy for full details.
- Hosting (Cloudflare Pages): Our website is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. As part of serving web traffic, Cloudflare processes network-level data (such as IP addresses) solely for the purpose of routing requests and providing DDoS protection. Cloudflare does not use this data to track or profile individual visitors. You can review Cloudflare's privacy policy for full details.
- Device Information: Basic technical information such as browser type, device type, and screen size, used only to ensure our games display correctly on all devices.
- Cookies: We use only essential cookies required for the website to function. We do not use tracking cookies or advertising cookies.
- Grade & Curriculum Preferences: When you use our grade or curriculum selector, your preference (e.g. Grade 1, ages 4–6) is stored in your browser's local storage. This is used only to personalise which games are shown to your child. It stays on your device and is never sent to us or any third party. URL parameters such as
?band=and?grade=may appear in page addresses to filter content — these do not contain personal information.
✅ We do NOT collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, location data, photos, or any other personally identifiable information.
🍪 Cookies & Local Storage
Our games may use your browser's local storage to save game progress (such as your score, level, badges, and grade/curriculum preference) directly on your device. This information never leaves your device and is not accessible to us.
We do not use third-party tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or any cookies that follow you across other websites.
📢 Advertising
If we display advertising on Crabcake, we only work with COPPA-compliant, child-safe advertising networks such as SuperAwesome or Kidoz. These networks do not use behavioural targeting or collect personal data from children.
Ads shown on Crabcake are contextual only — based on page content, never based on personal data or browsing behaviour.
⚠️ We never display targeted, behavioural, or data-driven advertising directed at children.
Any advertising partners we use are contractually required to comply with COPPA and applicable child safety laws. Their SDKs may load scripts from their own servers in order to deliver compliant ads.
If you have concerns about advertising content or would like to request an ad-free experience for your child, please contact us at .
🔗 Third-Party Links & Games
Our website may contain links to third-party websites or resources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those external sites and encourage parents to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites their children visit.
Where we use third-party services (such as advertising networks), those services may load scripts from their own servers. We ensure any such partners meet strict COPPA and child-safety requirements.
