Privacy Policy
Google Analytics 4 (G-J5G39E6205), Microsoft Clarity (project z7vj3a4vdb) and Adsterra (publisher 3403020) are requested on the first page view, without waiting for an Accept click. The banner is a notice and an opt-out: Reject stores qd-consent = denied for 180 days, disables the Google tag, and reloads without the Clarity and Adsterra loaders. A YouTube player is created only when you press Play trailer.

What loads, and when
Google Analytics 4, Microsoft Clarity and Adsterra advertising are requested on the first page view, together with the rest of the page. Nothing waits for an Accept click. The cookie banner says so and lets you withdraw: pressing Reject stores the refusal for 180 days under qd-consent and reloads the page, and later visits disable the Google tag and do not request Clarity or Adsterra while that record is valid. Global Privacy Control is treated as a rejection. The footer button Cookie settings reopens the banner at any time, and Accept loads the three again.
Clarity and Adsterra are added by this site's own loader from URL strings. The first HTML response contains no script tag pointing at clarity.ms or at the ad network; the loader creates those tags on the first view. Google Analytics 4 is created from its measurement ID by the tag installed in the page head.
A request already sent before you press Reject cannot be recalled from the network. Reject stops this site from starting further requests and denies the analytics and advertising consent signals in the page.
Google Analytics 4
We use Google Analytics 4, measurement ID G-J5G39E6205, to count page views and see which guides are read. It loads on the first view by default. Consent Mode v2 starts with ad_storage, ad_user_data and ad_personalization denied, and analytics_storage granted. Advertising data redaction and URL passthrough are set before the GA4 config call. Accept grants the three advertising signals; requesting the default-on Adsterra and Clarity loaders does not grant those Google signals. Reject updates all four signals to denied, sets ga-disable-G-J5G39E6205, and reloads the page so the tag does not measure.
Google may set the _ga and _ga_J5G39E6205 cookies (about 2 years each) and processes the page URL, referrer, IP address, and device and browser information under its policies. We do not send names, email addresses or account IDs to Analytics. The opt-out add-on is at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. Google's policy is at https://policies.google.com/privacy.
Microsoft Clarity
We use Microsoft Clarity, project z7vj3a4vdb, for heatmaps and session replays. It loads on the first view by default. Clarity may set the _clck cookie (about 1 year) and the _clsk cookie (about 1 day), and processes the pages you visit, clicks, scrolls and session activity. The loader sends ConsentV2 with analytics storage granted and ad storage denied before any explicit Accept; Reject reloads the page without the Clarity loader.
Clarity also documents the third-party cookies CLID, ANONCHK, MR, MUID and SM for browser identification and cookie preferences across Microsoft domains. Which are written depends on the browser and provider settings. Clarity masks sensitive content such as form input by default. The Microsoft privacy statement is at https://privacy.microsoft.com/privacystatement.
Adsterra advertising
We show advertising through Adsterra (publisher ID 3403020, website 6172232). Two units are active: Native Banner NativeBanner_1 (unit 32071870) inside the page column, and Social Bar SocialBar_1 (unit 32071871), the fixed strip at the bottom of the viewport. They load on the first view by default. Adult ads are switched off for this site.
Adsterra and its partners may set cookies and read your IP address, user agent and the page URL to choose and measure ads. Those cookies are set by Adsterra's own domains, including bicea.org and creative hosts such as cdn.show-creative1.com, cdn.show-sb.com, cdn.cloudpiko.com and static.nresystems.com, not by this site; we do not control their lifetime. Reject stops this site's Adsterra loaders on the reloaded page; closing the Social Bar with its close button stores qd-ad-closed so it does not return. Adsterra's policy is at https://adsterra.com/privacy-policy/.
You can turn off personalised advertising with the industry exits: https://adssettings.google.com/ , https://optout.aboutads.info/ and https://www.youronlinechoices.eu/ . Because the tags load by default, the banner is a notice and an opt-out, not a gate.
YouTube and other links
Some pages carry a video card. No YouTube player is created until you press Play trailer; that click asks YouTube (Google) for the embed and may let it set cookies. Google's policy is at https://policies.google.com/privacy, and the YouTube terms are at https://www.youtube.com/t/terms.
Outbound links to the official game site, Steam, YouTube, Discord and other communities are ordinary links: they send nothing until you click one, and the destination's own policy then applies. The site fonts and game images are served locally. Advertising creatives may also request their own image and font resources, including Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com); those requests are part of the default-on Adsterra creative chain and stop with its loader after Reject.
Legal basis and your rights
Serving the pages is our legitimate interest in publishing a guide. The consent record is stored on your device so we can honour the choice you clicked. Analytics, session replay and advertising load by default under the notice and opt-out behavior described above; a first visit does not write a consent choice; only an explicit Accept or Reject, or a Global Privacy Control rejection, records the setting. Mail you send is processed to answer you, which is the request you made by writing.
You can ask for access, correction, deletion, restriction or a copy of mail we hold about you, and you can object to a use that is not required to reply, by writing to [email protected]. You can also complain to a data-protection authority where you live. Clearing site data in your browser deletes qd-consent and qd-ad-closed; we never receive a copy of those keys.
Retention and changes
The consent record lasts 180 days and the Social Bar dismissal lasts until you clear site data or press Accept again. Google, Microsoft and Adsterra retain data according to their service settings and policies; this page does not claim a verified retention period for those accounts. Email you send to [email protected] is kept long enough to answer and to finish a correction, then deleted from the mailbox we control. The static host may keep ordinary request logs; we do not operate a separate database of visitors.
Changes to this policy show up as a new date on this page. The current text was written on 3 November 2026. The site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their information. If a script is added later, this page and the banner change in the same edit.
FAQ
Do you sell personal information?
No. We do not operate a data broker, and we do not sell mail you send us.
Where is Cookie settings?
In the footer of every guide page. It reopens the banner, and Reject turns the three loaders off for 180 days.
Does the page wait for Accept before loading ads?
No. Google Analytics 4, Clarity and Adsterra load on the first view. Reject is the opt-out, and it is remembered for 180 days.
