Privacy at Game Scout
Optional analytics
Google Analytics (G-JNJ1DTSRHP) and Vercel Web Analytics stay off until you accept in the bottom bar. Rejecting keeps them off. Both choices hide the bar and are saved under game-scout-analytics-choice-v1 in this browser. Open Analytics settings in the footer to change your choice.
When accepted, these providers process visit timing, public page paths, browser/device information and network information needed for delivery. Google uses analytics cookies. We strip URL parameters, fragments and referrers, replace game title slugs with public IDs, and send a fixed page title. Only pageviews are forwarded; searches, filters, custom events, accounts and user annotations are not sent. Advertising storage, advertising personalization and Google Signals are not enabled by this choice.
Withdraw consent in the footer settings to stop optional analytics, remove accessible Google Analytics cookies and reload without their scripts. It does not delete data already received by the providers. If your browser blocks saving the choice, analytics remains off. Language preference is stored separately and is retained.
Hosting and third-party content
Vercel processes technical requests needed to deliver and protect the site, independently of optional analytics. Catalog requests are required to display current game data. Game links and Google Trends embeds contact third parties with their own policies.
The site also includes its existing Google AdSense advertising tag (ca-pub-8955832414783714). It is separate from the optional GA/Vercel analytics choice and can contact Google when the page loads. Accepting analytics does not grant advertising consent.
