Privacy Policy
Game of Life Lab is an educational website. You can read articles, open pattern pages, and run simulations without creating an account. This policy explains what information may be processed when you use the site.
Last updated: July 8, 2026
The site uses Google Analytics to understand which pages are useful, how visitors move through the simulator and articles, and where the experience needs improvement. Analytics may use cookies or similar technologies to measure page views and basic interaction events.
These measurements are used to improve navigation, content quality, and simulator usability. They are not used to provide account-based services because the site does not currently offer user accounts.
If advertising is enabled in the future, third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on prior visits to this site or other sites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables Google and its partners to serve ads based on visits across the internet.
You can opt out of personalized advertising through Google Ads Settings. You can also learn about broader third-party advertising choices at aboutads.info.
If you contact the site through a public GitHub issue or another feedback channel, the information you include may be visible to the repository maintainers and, for public issues, to other visitors. Do not include private personal information in public feedback.
If a private contact channel is added later, this policy will be updated to explain how those messages are handled.
Articles and pattern pages link to external references such as LifeWiki, research pages, and documentation. Those sites have their own privacy practices. Opening an external source may send standard browser request information to that site.
The simulator runs in your browser. It does not require uploading Life patterns or board states to use the basic interactive features.

For privacy questions or correction requests, start from the contact page. This policy may be updated as the site adds advertising, paid features, or additional contact channels.
