Privacy policy
Updated 2026-10-29
Google Analytics 4, Microsoft Clarity and Adsterra load by default on a first visit. Reject turns them off and remembers that choice for 180 days. YouTube loads when you press play. This policy describes this guide website; external game projects have their own data practices.
Default loading and withdrawal
Our operational default is to request Google Analytics 4, Microsoft Clarity and Adsterra before any banner choice. The banner remains visible until you choose Accept or Reject. Default loading is a technical behaviour; it is not a claim that merely visiting expresses consent. Reject saves nfsmw_consent with a denied choice and timestamp, then reloads to stop running providers. It cannot undo disclosures already sent or erase every provider cookie. Previously saved valid Reject records prevent provider loading on later visits. After 180 days the choice expires and the banner appears again.
Google Consent Mode v2 is initialised before config: ad_storage, ad_user_data and ad_personalization default to denied; analytics_storage defaults to granted; ads_data_redaction is enabled. Accept updates the signals to granted; Reject updates all four to denied and disables GA4. Global Privacy Control is treated as Reject before provider requests. Cookie settings in the footer reopens the banner.
Providers and the hosts they request
The following host list was observed against the local production build on 2026-10-29. Advertising redirects and creatives can vary between visits. These are third-party requests even when cookies are unavailable. We do not embed a playable game, use a CDN font, or contact an external game site merely by displaying an ordinary link.
| Provider | Hosts / identifier | Purpose and loading |
|---|---|---|
| Google Analytics 4 | www.googletagmanager.com; www.google-analytics.com; measurement ID G-J81P5HVM2B | Default-on page and interaction measurement, browser/device and referral information. Reject disables loading. |
| Microsoft Clarity | www.clarity.ms; scripts.clarity.ms; regional collection subdomains such as a.clarity.ms and q.clarity.ms; project z56t6b8sxx | Default-on session replay, heatmaps and click/scroll measurement. Do not send passwords or sensitive information. Reject disables loading. |
| Adsterra and advertising delivery hosts | bicea.org; static.nresystems.com; cdn.storageimagedisplay.com; cdn.show-creative1.com; cdn.show-sb.com; cdn.cloudpiko.com | Default-on Native Banner 31981487 and Social Bar 31981488 (publisher 3403020). Creatives, delivery/frequency measurement and fraud prevention. Reject disables loading. |
| YouTube (Google) | www.youtube-nocookie.com; player resources may use youtube.com, ytimg.com and googlevideo.com | Requested only after pressing play; receives IP address, player/referrer and device data needed to serve video. |
Browser storage and retention
This site stores nfsmw_consent (choice and timestamp) and nfsmw_social_bar_closed (whether you dismissed the floating ad) in localStorage for 180 days. The latter closes only the Social Bar; use Reject to stop all three providers. You can delete these keys through your browser settings for this domain.
GA4 may write _ga and _ga_J81P5HVM2B cookies. Clarity documents first-party _clck and _clsk and third-party CLID, ANONCHK, MR, MUID and SM cookies. Which cookies are written depends on the browser and provider. Advertising cookies and storage can vary by creative; we have not verified an exhaustive key list or their retention. We do not assign an estimated duration to those unknown values.
We have not independently verified this property’s analytics or replay retention settings, so no site-specific retention period is asserted here. Consult the linked provider documentation for their policies. Reject stops future provider loading on this site but does not automatically erase previously stored provider identifiers; your browser can remove site cookies.
Hosting, email and external links
Cloudflare provides website delivery and email routing. Requests to the website necessarily include connection information such as IP address and requested URL. Messages sent to [email protected] are routed through Cloudflare Email Routing to the mail-hub Worker, stored for editorial correspondence and mirrored to our Google Gmail mailbox. Send only information relevant to a correction or privacy request. We have not set a fixed published retention period for correspondence; contact us to request deletion.
Following an external project or store link takes you to that operator’s website and its own policies. Our privacy settings do not change cookies or game saves on another origin. Contact [email protected] for questions about this website or personal information you supplied. You may also contact your local data protection authority.
Questions and answers
What happens when I press Reject?
The site saves a denied record for 180 days and reloads the page to terminate running analytics, replay and advertising code. During that period the site does not request GA4, Clarity or Adsterra. Requests already made cannot be recalled. Cookie settings lets you change your choice.
Does Reject also block a video I ask to play?
No. A video loads only when you press its play button. That action requests a YouTube player separately from analytics and advertising. Before that action, its poster is served from this site.
