Privacy Policy

This is a game guide website and we respect visitor privacy. This policy explains what we collect and how it is used.

Optional services and consent

This site offers two optional third-party services that stay blocked until you choose: Google Analytics (GA4) for audience analytics and reporting, and one Adsterra (effectivecpmnetwork) advertising placement. With no stored choice, after reject, and after withdraw plus reload, neither service is requested on any page. If you accept, GA4 may process your IP address, browser and device information, the pages you visit, the referring page, an approximate region, and cookies or similar identifiers for analytics and reporting; Adsterra may process the same categories for advertising, fraud prevention and reporting. Reject keeps both blocked. This site's consent control is a first-party preference control, not a Google-certified CMP.

Your choices and local storage

The always-visible Privacy settings button offers accept, reject, manage, save and withdraw. Your choice is stored only in this browser's localStorage under the key kts_consent_v1; nothing is uploaded. Withdrawal blocks future GA4 and Adsterra requests on this site and removes accessible GA cookies where the browser permits. The achievement and case progress trackers also save only in this browser (keys kts-ach-v1 and kts-cl-v1).

Cookies and identifiers

After you accept, Google Analytics and Adsterra may set cookies or similar identifiers on your device. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, and you can opt out of Google Analytics with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

Google AdSense

Google AdSense account metadata and ads.txt are configured, but the AdSense serving script stays gated off unless serving, provider readiness and certified CMP readiness are all explicitly enabled; configuration does not mean that AdSense ads are currently serving.

Third-party services

Fonts are loaded from Google Fonts and the site is served through Cloudflare's CDN. These providers may record standard access logs (such as IP address, user agent and time) and follow their own retention policies, which we do not control. Review the policies of the providers we use: Google Privacy Policy (Google Analytics and AdSense), Google Ads technologies, Adsterra Privacy Policy, Google Fonts FAQ and Cloudflare Privacy Policy.
