Default loading and how to withdraw
Google Analytics 4, Microsoft Clarity and Adsterra load by default on the first page view, before you answer the banner. The banner is a notice and a withdrawal control, not a gate. Pressing Reject stops those scripts, removes the visible ad units, sets the Google consent signals to denied, saves the refusal in this browser for 180 days, and reloads the page with the integrations off. Accept keeps them on. Cookie settings in the footer reopens the notice without changing your saved choice. Global Privacy Control is treated as Reject.
Google Analytics 4
Google Analytics 4 (measurement ID G-NZXNLHNHZD, property website_300_gameinfo_saycheese.run) loads from www.googletagmanager.com and sends page views and events to www.google-analytics.com (including regional hosts under google-analytics.com). It records the page URL, referrer, approximate location derived from IP, device and browser information, and interaction events. Google may set the _ga cookie and a stream cookie such as _ga_NZXNLHNHZD. Cookie expiry and event retention depend on the Google property settings; this build does not establish a separate retention period. Purpose: count visits and understand which guides are read. The first visit starts measurement immediately. Reject withdraws future measurement requests in this browser.
Microsoft Clarity
Microsoft Clarity (project z7787udan9) loads from www.clarity.ms and downloads its runtime from scripts.clarity.ms; recordings are sent to regional collection hosts under clarity.ms. It records clicks, scrolls, pointer movement and, subject to masking, session replays and heatmaps. Form fields, passwords and other sensitive content are masked by default. Clarity may set the _clck cookie (about one year) and the _clsk cookie (about one day), and Microsoft may read its MUID identity cookie on Microsoft domains. Clarity controls retention of its recording and heatmap data under its published policy. Purpose: see where readers get stuck. Reject stops future recording requests in this browser.
Adsterra
Adsterra (publisher 3403020, website 6168831) serves one in-page Native Banner (NativeBanner_1, unit 32047739) and one floating Social Bar (SocialBar_1, unit 32047740). Both loader scripts and the creatives come from bicea.org and the partners Adsterra uses for those units. Adult ads are switched off for this website at the Adsterra panel. Adsterra and its partners may set cookies or local storage under bicea.org and the creative's own host to cap frequency, measure impressions, prevent fraud and, when a partner chooses, personalize ads. Those vendor cookie names vary by campaign and are chosen by Adsterra, so this page names the hosts and the purpose rather than inventing names we do not control. Purpose: fund the guide with advertising. The first visit starts ad requests immediately. Reject stops future ad requests in this browser.
YouTube
Ending videos sit behind a play button. The YouTube player is created only after that click, from www.youtube.com. Google may then set its own cookies, including VISITOR_INFO1_LIVE (about six months), YSC (session) and PREF (about eight months), and receives the video you asked to play. Purpose: play the clip. The player request follows your click. You can avoid that request by never pressing play. Google's controls are at Ads Settings and Data & privacy.

The hosting and email infrastructure may process request metadata (IP address, user agent, requested URL and time) and messages you send to operate and secure the service. This static build does not define a separate server-log retention period. Cloudflare provides hosting and email routing; the contact mailbox routes through our mail-hub Worker. We do not sell personal information. We do not run a separate Do Not Track branch, because that header is inconsistent across browsers; Global Privacy Control is honored.
Personalized advertising and opt-outs
You can turn off personalized advertising from the vendors directly: Google Ads Settings, Microsoft ad settings, and the industry pages DAA and NAI. Adsterra's own practices are described in its privacy policy. These links are controls offered by those companies; this site does not call them automatically.
Cloudflare describes its infrastructure processing in its privacy policy. No Roblox, Steam or Xbox script is loaded by this site; following a store link visits that separate service.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you can ask for a copy, correction or deletion of personal data, object to processing, withdraw consent, or ask for portability. Email [email protected] with the request and the page URL. You can also complain to your local data-protection authority. Withdrawing consent stops future collection but does not undo data already collected lawfully.
Changes
Material changes replace this page and update the date above. The same date is the page's modified time.
