Privacy policy

What loads, and when

On a first visit, with no stored choice, Google Analytics 4, Microsoft Clarity and Adsterra are requested by the page loaders. Google Consent Mode starts with ad_storage, ad_user_data and ad_personalization denied and analytics_storage granted before any config call; ads_data_redaction is enabled. The separate advertising and recording loaders stay on until Reject, Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track turns them off. The banner is shown on the first visit and explains both choices.

The tags are created by this site's own loader after the consent record is read. No vendor script tag is written into the initial HTML, so a Reject or GPC visit never requests the advertising or recording hosts.

Cookies and browser storage

The site does not set its own cookies. rdp_consent and rdp_social_closed are localStorage keys, readable only by this origin. Clearing site data removes them, and the banner will appear again on the next visit.

Vendor cookies are set only when the vendor loader runs. After Reject the three vendor loaders are not created, so no new Google Analytics 4, Microsoft Clarity or Adsterra cookie is written on that visit.

Default on, and how to turn it off

With no stored record, the loader loads Google Analytics 4, Microsoft Clarity and Adsterra immediately and writes an accept record so the same choice applies on later pages. The banner still appears and keeps both buttons. This is a default-on design, not a gate: nothing waits for an Accept click.

Reject writes a reject record for 180 days, sends a denied consent update to Google, withdraws Clarity consent and reloads the page to stop vendor execution. The reloaded page excludes all three vendor loaders. Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track are treated as Reject. Cookie settings in the footer reopens the banner so either button can be used again; Accept after a Reject reloads once to restore the default-on tags.

Legal basis and retention

The site serves public guides and stores your privacy choice for 180 days. The default-on vendor behavior is described above; an automatic default is not an affirmative consent action. Vendor retention depends on their settings and published policies, linked below. Contact us about a data request or the basis for processing your information. We do not sell personal data.

Server logs may exist at the host for security. Mail you send to [email protected] is kept long enough to answer and to fix the page, then deleted from the working mailbox.

Personalized advertising and opt-outs

Adsterra may choose ads from the page context and from cookies. It does not receive your name or email from this site. You can limit personalized advertising with Google Ads Settings, Your Online Choices, the NAI opt-out and the DAA opt-out. These are industry tools; they do not remove ads, only some personalization.

Adsterra's own privacy policy explains its role as an advertising partner and its retention. Google's and Microsoft's policies cover the analytics and recording data they receive.

YouTube and outbound links

A video thumbnail is a local image with a play button. When you press play, the page creates a youtube.com frame and YouTube may set cookies or receive your IP address and playback request. That click is a playback choice, not an analytics or advertising consent gate. Store links to Roblox, Steam, Google Play, the App Store and Miniplay are ordinary outbound links; those sites set their own cookies after you leave.

Your rights and contact

You can ask for a description of the data we hold, a correction, or deletion of any email you sent us. Those requests go to [email protected]. You can also complain to your local data protection authority. When this policy changes, the date at the top of the page changes with it, and the summary on the home page points at the same day.
