Privacy policy

What loads, and when

On a first visit with no saved choice, the page loads these four things immediately: Google Analytics 4 (measurement ID G-3HFSHPYNPJ), Microsoft Clarity (project z42umrii3q), Adsterra Native Banner (unit 31944085, NativeBanner_1), and Adsterra Social Bar (unit 31944086, SocialBar_1). The ad scripts come from bicea.org. The banner is a notice and a withdrawal control, not a gate: it appears after the tags start, and the page never waits for Accept.

Pressing Reject writes a denied choice, stops the Clarity and Adsterra requests on the next load, disables Google Analytics for this browser, and remembers the refusal for 180 days. Pressing Accept keeps everything on. The footer link Cookie settings reopens the notice so you can change your mind. If your browser sends Global Privacy Control, the site treats that as Reject without showing the banner first.

Google requests use www.googletagmanager.com and www.google-analytics.com. Microsoft requests use www.clarity.ms, scripts.clarity.ms and regional collection subdomains of clarity.ms. The Adsterra scripts start at bicea.org and, during the 27 Oct 2026 browser audit, also requested static.nresystems.com, cdn.show-sb.com, cdn.show-creative1.com and cdn.cloudpiko.com. These advertising delivery hosts load by default and stop on subsequent page loads after Reject. Advertising campaigns can change their delivery hosts.

Consent Mode v2 is initialized before Google configuration: ad_storage, ad_user_data and ad_personalization default to denied; analytics_storage defaults to granted; ads_data_redaction is enabled. Without a saved choice, analytics, recording and advertising scripts still load and the notice stays visible. Accept grants the advertising consent signals. Reject denies all four signals and reloads the page without those vendor scripts. A notice appearing on screen does not mean prior consent was obtained.

Cookies and localStorage keys

This site writes two localStorage keys of its own. vd_consent stores granted or denied plus an expiry timestamp; lifetime 180 days; purpose is to remember your banner choice. vd_social_closed stores the fact that you closed the Adsterra Social Bar plus a timestamp; lifetime 180 days; purpose is to keep that floating bar closed on later visits. Both are first-party, never copied to our server, and can be deleted in your browser settings.

Google Analytics 4 measures visits and interactions. Its identifiers can include _ga and _ga_<container>. Requests include page and browser information, and a network connection exposes your IP address to the receiving service. Cookie lifetime and event retention depend on Google’s settings and policies; this page does not claim a property retention value that the release audit has not verified.

Microsoft Clarity records page views, clicks, scrolls and session replay. Its identifiers can include _clck, _clsk, CLID and MUID. Microsoft’s current cookie and retention documentation applies. The release audit verifies the project ID and loading controls; it does not claim to have verified every recording or project privacy setting.

Adsterra and its demand partners may store advertising identifiers and frequency caps. Their cookie and storage names depend on the delivered campaign. The release audit observes the advertising request hosts listed above; it does not establish a complete cookie inventory or assign unverified lifetimes to campaign identifiers. Vendor privacy policies describe their processing. Reject prevents the site from starting these advertising scripts on later loads.

YouTube is not loaded on page view. If you press play, the page creates an iframe to youtube-nocookie.com; YouTube may then set its own cookies and see your IP. The Roblox, Discord and Reddit links are ordinary outbound links and receive nothing until you follow them.

Ads, opt-outs and your rights

The configured Adsterra placements are Native Banner and Social Bar, with adult advertising disabled in the saved placement record. The site does not configure a popunder unit; delivered campaigns remain controlled by the ad network. You can opt out of personalized advertising at Google Ads Settings (https://adssettings.google.com), the Digital Advertising Alliance (https://optout.aboutads.info), or Your Online Choices (https://www.youronlinechoices.eu). Adsterra explains its data use at https://adsterra.com/privacy-policy/. For Google Analytics, the browser add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout blocks measurement on sites that use it.

You can ask what this site holds about you, ask for a copy or deletion, or object to processing by writing to [email protected]. Because the site has no login, we usually hold nothing that identifies you beyond the local keys and the vendors' aggregate reports. You also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority. We answer privacy requests within 30 days.

Retention: vd_consent and vd_social_closed are read as expired after 180 days. Vendor data follows each provider’s retention policy and project settings. Reject prevents future automatic vendor loading after the page reloads; it does not erase data already received or all vendor cookies. Deleting vd_consent removes the saved refusal, so the next visit uses the default loading behavior again. Use Cookie settings to store Reject.

Changes: this page is edited in the same release as the code, and the modified date in the header is the date of the policy. If a vendor is added or removed, its name and keys change here first. The contact address does not change without this page saying so.
