Saved progress in Daily Orbs is stored in your browser, which remembers game progress and previous play. To preserve that local progress, be cautious when clearing site data or restricting cookies: either action may remove saved progress, sign you out, or cause the game to recognize your browser as a new player.

How Saved Progress Works
Your browser holds the local information used to remember your play. Alongside saved progress and previous play, it also stores ratings and preferences. [src-b56d5c7ab4]
Daily Orbs separately records puzzle submissions and clicks, including correct and incorrect answers, scoring, results, ratings, and play timing. Those records are associated with your player identifier and individual visits, helping the game preserve play and understand how a result was reached. Browser-held progress and server-held records are therefore distinct: removing local data does not delete information already stored on the game's servers. [src-b56d5c7ab4]
Step-by-Step: Protect Your Saved Progress
- Treat browser site data as part of your saved play. The browser remembers progress and previous play, so clearing its Daily Orbs data can affect what remains available locally. [src-b56d5c7ab4]
- Check the consequences before changing storage settings. Clearing site data or restricting cookies may remove locally saved progress. These changes can also sign you out or make the browser appear to Daily Orbs as a new player. [src-b56d5c7ab4]
- Keep email sign-in expectations separate from local saving. If you sign in by email, Daily Orbs can associate records from that browser—including earlier play—with your email address. This is not a promise that every previous result will be available through an account-history feature. [src-b56d5c7ab4]
- Check the history features currently offered. The official information describes broader account-linked history as planned and says the history available to players depends on the features currently offered. Do not assume email sign-in provides a complete history or a guaranteed way to restore removed local progress. [src-b56d5c7ab4]
Before Clearing Site Data
Choose your next step according to what you want to accomplish:
| Your goal | What to know before acting |
|---|---|
| Keep your locally saved progress | Clearing site data or restricting cookies may remove it. [src-b56d5c7ab4] |
| Remove information from your browser | Clearing site data can affect saved progress, sign-in status, and player recognition, but does not delete records already stored on Daily Orbs servers. [src-b56d5c7ab4] |
| Ask Daily Orbs to delete guest records | Contact Daily Orbs before clearing site data where possible, so the service can help identify the correct records. [src-b56d5c7ab4] |
If your aim is guest-record deletion, the order matters: contact Daily Orbs first, then address local site data as appropriate. The official guidance specifically recommends making contact before clearing data where possible because identifying the relevant guest records may otherwise be harder. [src-b56d5c7ab4]
If Your Progress Appears to Be Missing
Start by considering whether you recently cleared site data or restricted cookies. Both are documented reasons that locally saved progress may be removed, and either may also affect sign-in or recognition of your browser as an existing player. These are possible explanations, not a diagnosis of every missing-progress case. [src-b56d5c7ab4]
Missing local progress does not, by itself, mean that server-held play records have been deleted. However, the supplied official information does not describe a recovery procedure or guarantee that server records can restore your browser's saved state. Likewise, email association should not be treated as a confirmed backup-and-restore system: the scope of accessible account history depends on the features currently offered. [src-b56d5c7ab4]
