Is Planet Clicker free to play?

Yes, completely free. No payment, no subscription, no hidden costs. Open the site and play.

Do I need to create an account?

No. There is no registration system. The game loads directly in your browser.

Does my progress save between sessions?

No. The game does not store save data — closing or refreshing the tab means starting fresh. Keep the tab open to maintain your session.

What is the best way to progress quickly?

Spend energy on upgrades as fast as you earn it early on, prioritize unlocking Mars, and let the idle mechanics do the heavy lifting once automation is running.

Can I play on mobile?

Yes, accessible on most mobile browsers, though desktop offers a more comfortable experience for the early clicking phase.

Who made Planet Clicker?

The original game was created by Coltroc on the Scratch platform and is shared under Creative Commons licensing.

Cookie Policy – The Planet Clicker

Last updated: April 27, 2026

This page explains what cookies are, which ones this site uses, and how you can manage them. It’s a short read — and worth knowing before you play.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They’re not programs, they can’t carry viruses, and they don’t access anything else on your computer.

Most websites use them. They serve different purposes depending on the type — some keep a site functional, others track anonymous usage patterns, and some remember your preferences between visits.

2. How The Planet Clicker Uses Cookies

We keep our cookie usage minimal. Here’s an honest breakdown of what’s running on this site and why:

3. Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

These are required for the site to work properly. Without them, basic functions — like page loading and navigation — wouldn’t operate correctly. You cannot opt out of essential cookies while continuing to use the site.

Cookie	Purpose	Duration
WordPress session cookie	Maintains basic site functionality	Session
Security cookie	Protects against cross-site request forgery	Session

Analytics Cookies

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with the site — which pages get the most traffic, how long people stay, and what devices they use. All data is anonymous and aggregated. We never see individual user information.

Cookie	Purpose	Duration
`_ga`	Distinguishes unique visitors	2 years
`_ga_*`	Session state tracking	2 years
`_gid`	Distinguishes visitors (24hr window)	24 hours
`_gat`	Throttles request rate	1 minute

Google Analytics data helps us improve the site — fixing slow pages, improving content structure, and understanding which guides are most useful.

If you’d prefer not to be tracked by Google Analytics, you can install the official Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on — it works across all sites that use GA.

Functional Cookies

These cookies remember basic preferences so the site behaves consistently across visits. No personal information is stored.

Cookie	Purpose	Duration
Preference cookie	Stores display or layout preferences	30 days

Third-Party Cookies (Scratch Platform)

Planet Clicker is embedded from the Scratch platform (scratch.mit.edu). When the game loads on our page, Scratch may set its own cookies independently of ours. We have no control over these cookies — they are governed by Scratch’s own privacy and cookie policies.

If you have concerns about third-party cookies from Scratch, we recommend reviewing Scratch’s Privacy Policy directly.

4. What We Do NOT Use Cookies For

To be clear about what isn’t happening on this site:

We do not use cookies to serve personalized advertising
We do not sell cookie data to third parties
We do not use cookies to build individual user profiles
We do not track you across other websites

5. Managing and Disabling Cookies

You have full control over cookies through your browser settings. Here’s how to manage them in the most common browsers:

Google Chrome → Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and Other Site Data
Mozilla Firefox → Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
Safari → Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
Microsoft Edge → Settings → Privacy, Search and Services → Cookies

Blocking all cookies will affect how some sites function — including this one. Essential cookies are needed for basic site operations, so disabling them may cause display or navigation issues.

6. Cookie Consent

By continuing to use The Planet Clicker, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy. If you do not consent, you can adjust your browser settings or leave the site — no hard feelings.

7. Changes to This Cookie Policy

If we change how we use cookies — for example, if we add advertising or new third-party tools — we’ll update this page and revise the date at the top. We recommend checking back if you’re a regular visitor.
