SITE NOTES
Privacy and advertising.
A plain-English overview of traffic measurement, feedback storage, and third-party advertising.
Current status
This site currently loads adsterra advertising scripts configured by the site owner.
Site traffic measurement
Player Guidebook uses first-party traffic measurement to count page views and anonymous 30-minute visits, distinguish search-engine, direct, and other referral traffic, and report page paths, countries, and first-level regions. The session's first referrer is reduced to a hostname; full referring URLs and query strings are not stored.
The site also measures active time while a page is visible, whether a visitor meaningfully interacts with the page, and the highest approximate scroll percentage. These signals distinguish engaged visits, short but valid answer visits, incomplete visits, and obvious rapid duplicates. The system records only the fact that an interaction occurred—not what was typed, clicked, or selected.
A random session identifier is kept in the visitor's browser and retained in the analytics database for up to 35 days for visit deduplication, then removed from page-quality records. Page, source, approximate location, time, and quality statistics are retained for the life of the analytics service so a reporting-rule or dashboard change does not erase historical facts. Cloudflare supplies approximate country and region data. The analytics database does not store raw IP addresses, email addresses, account identifiers, or advertising profiles, and browsers with Do Not Track enabled are not measured.
User feedback
The request desk stores the feedback type, game name, message, related Player Guidebook page, submission time, approximate country/region and timezone supplied by Cloudflare, and an email only when the visitor chooses to provide one. Feedback is used to correct guides, understand regional demand, and prioritize future coverage. Do not submit passwords, account IDs, payment information, save files, or private support records.
The feedback service uses a short-lived one-way abuse-prevention hash derived from connection information. It does not store the raw IP address in the feedback database, and rate-limit records older than eight days are removed automatically.
When ads are enabled
Player Guidebook records first-party aggregate ad-delivery events—the page path and page type, approximate country, device class, ad unit, size, placement and policy version, plus eligibility, request attempts, script success or failure, creative fill and rendering, viewability, directly observable clicks, Social Bar closes, and layout-shift signals—to detect broken, unseen, or disruptive placements. These records do not contain raw IP addresses or advertising profiles.
Cross-origin advertising frames do not expose every impression or click to this site. Provider-reported impressions, clicks, and revenue are therefore imported separately as aggregate reporting facts and are not falsely assigned to individual pages when the provider does not supply that dimension.
Advertising providers may use cookies or similar technologies, depending on their own systems and the visitor's location and choices. This site does not control the data practices of a third-party ad network.
Visitors should review the provider's privacy documentation and any consent message shown on the site. The site owner is responsible for configuring a suitable consent flow before serving ads in jurisdictions where consent is required.
Third-party links
Guide pages link to official stores and independent editorial sources. Those sites have their own privacy policies and may set their own cookies when you leave the site.
