I just noticed that the original Wordle URL has been redirecting to a New York Times page for the last few days. Which is fine, except that it's not updating my stats anymore. Every day I open it, it has the same starting stats ("24 played", etc.). After playing that day's game, if I close and reopen the browser and return to the page (via the original URL), it shows the gameboard like I didn't already play it, and the stats are reverted again.
This is the original URL I'm using:
https://www.powerlanguage.co.uk/wordle/
That page redirects to the below nytimes URL, passing my stats as parameters:
https://www.nytimes.com/games/wordle?data=[ my stats and preferences data ]
That page then redirects to:
https://www.nytimes.com/games/wordle/index.html?data= [ same stats parameters as above ]
The same stats parameters are passed each time (except for the first "time" value).
I can't tell if the problem is due to my browser or cookie settings.
I've tried adding rules to allow powerlanguage.co.uk stuff on nytimes.com and vice versa. But my stats still don't save.
Are the Stats still being updated correctly for anyone else?
On Twitter other people say they're having trouble like me, but I don't know if we are the minority or not:

Update:
See my comment below. I had to set a browser exception for nytimes.com to let it store cookies. Using the uMatrix plugin, I sometimes forget that I have to allow cookies for a site in both places if I want the cookies to be saved across sessions.
