Privacy policy

This policy matches the scripts this site actually ships: Google Analytics 4, Microsoft Clarity, Adsterra Native Banner and Social Bar, and YouTube when you press play. It was updated on 27 October 2026. The contact for privacy requests is [email protected].

Last reviewed: 2026-10-27. By the Eaglercraft Guide editorial team.

The review checks the built pages, not just the source. They load Google Analytics 4 (G-1ZC3X0E7XX), Microsoft Clarity (project z3tv3s1570) and Adsterra ads (publisher 3403020) on the first screen. The cookie banner explains that and lets you reject; Reject is remembered for 180 days. Adsterra can request additional demand-partner hosts, listed below; those are not separate first-party integrations.

Default loading and how to reject

Google Analytics 4, Microsoft Clarity and Adsterra load by default when a page opens, before you touch the banner. The banner is a notice and a withdrawal control, not a gate. Press Reject and the site disables GA measurement, asks Clarity to withdraw consent, reloads to unload running ad and replay code, stops creating those scripts, and records the denial in localStorage key egp_consent_v1 for 180 days, and sends a Consent Mode update that denies analytics and advertising storage. Requests already sent cannot be recalled; third-party cookies already set are not deleted by this control. Press OK, or use Cookie settings in the footer, to grant them again. A browser Global Privacy Control signal or Do Not Track set to 1 is treated as Reject.

YouTube is different: the page shows a local poster image and does not contact YouTube until you press Play on a video. Once you press Play, the youtube-nocookie.com frame loads and Google's YouTube terms and privacy policy apply to that player.

Google Analytics 4

Google Analytics 4 runs from googletagmanager.com with measurement ID G-1ZC3X0E7XX. It records page views, scroll and outbound-click events, approximate location derived from IP, device and browser, and a random client identifier. Google processes this data under its service terms. GA4 offers property-level event-retention settings; this policy does not claim an unverified configured duration. See Google data retention documentation.

• Cookies: _ga (distinguishes browsers, up to 2 years) and _ga_<container> (keeps session state, up to 2 years).
• localStorage: none of our own for analytics; gtag keeps its queue in memory in window.dataLayer.
• Loading is default-on under the site configuration; no interaction with the notice is not affirmative consent. Reject blocks subsequent script loading for 180 days. This configuration is not a claim that prior-consent requirements are satisfied in every jurisdiction.
• Opt out: install the Google Analytics opt-out add-on (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout) or block googletagmanager.com.

Microsoft Clarity

Microsoft Clarity (project z3tv3s1570) records heatmaps and session replays with pseudonymous identifiers: clicks, scroll depth, mouse movement, page URL, browser and device, and a random session identifier. Clarity applies its configured masking, but we do not guarantee that every page detail is anonymous. Microsoft processes data under its service terms. Its documentation lists ordinary playback retention of 30 days, and labeled or favorited sessions and heatmaps for 9 months.

• Cookies: _clck (stores the Clarity user id, 1 year) and _clsk (joins page views into one session, 1 day). Microsoft may also set its own MUID cookie for its services.
• localStorage: _cltk (short-lived session token) and clarity_* entries written by the Clarity script.
• Clarity loads by default. Reject sends its ConsentV2 denial, reloads the page to unload running code, and prevents later tag creation. Microsoft may apply region-specific consent restrictions.
• Opt out: Microsoft's privacy dashboard (https://account.microsoft.com/privacy) and the Clarity opt-out described at https://learn.microsoft.com/clarity/.

Adsterra advertising

We show two Adsterra placements: a Native Banner after the site footer and a network-managed Social Bar overlay with a bottom-corner close control. Adsterra (publisher id 3403020) and its demand partners may set advertising cookies and identifiers, read the page URL and device information, and measure or personalise ads. The recorded Adsterra site setting excludes adult ads; individual creatives are supplied by the network, not endorsed by us. Adsterra acts as an independent controller for the ads it serves.

• Cookies: advertising identifiers set by Adsterra and its partners under their own names; we do not control that list. They are created only after the Adsterra script runs.
• localStorage: egp_socialbar_closed_v1 remembers that you hid the Social Bar, so it stays hidden on later visits until you clear site data. The consent choice itself is egp_consent_v1.
• Adsterra scripts load by default; Reject blocks later script loading and unloads this page. Google Consent Mode settings do not automatically govern Adsterra or its partners. No silent/default choice is represented as affirmative consent.
• Personalised-advertising opt-outs: https://adssettings.google.com/, https://optout.networkadvertising.org/, https://optout.aboutads.info/ and https://www.youronlinechoices.com/. Reject on this site also stops the Adsterra scripts.

Third-party hosts observed in the built-site review

Default requests include www.googletagmanager.com and www.google-analytics.com (Google Analytics); www.clarity.ms, scripts.clarity.ms and regional collection hosts under clarity.ms (Microsoft Clarity); and bicea.org (both recorded Adsterra units). The advertising chain also requested static.nresystems.com, cdn.storageimagedisplay.com, cdn.show-creative1.com, cdn.show-sb.com, cdn.cloudpiko.com and m1.openfpcdn.io. These advertising/demand-partner hosts load by default through Adsterra and are stopped on subsequent page loads after Reject. The review records network hosts, not a guarantee about each partner's processing or data retention. Partner hosts and creatives can change. The complete observed host snapshot is recorded in the dated site review.

YouTube

Some guide pages embed a YouTube video behind a click-to-play facade. Until you press Play, no request goes to YouTube. After that, youtube-nocookie.com serves the player and Google may set YouTube cookies such as VISITOR_INFO1_LIVE, YSC and PREF, and stores player preferences in localStorage. Google's YouTube privacy policy governs that player. The player is activated by your separate Play action, even if you previously rejected analytics and advertising; that choice does not load a video automatically.

Storage we control

• egp_consent_v1 (localStorage): your choice, granted or denied, with an expiry 180 days out. Written by the cookie banner, read by every loader.
• egp_socialbar_closed_v1 (localStorage): set to 1 when you hide the Adsterra Social Bar; no expiry, cleared when you clear site data.
• Our application does not set its own HTTP tracking cookie. Google and Microsoft can set cookies in this site origin, and the advertising providers can set third-party storage where your browser permits it.

Retention and your rights

The consent record stays for 180 days. GA4 retention depends on its property configuration; Clarity ordinary recordings are retained for 30 days, and labeled/favorited sessions and heatmaps for up to 9 months, and Adsterra keeps ad data under its own retention schedule. Server logs on the host may keep IP addresses for security for a short period; we do not sell them. You can ask for a copy of the data we hold about you, ask us to correct or delete it, object to processing, or withdraw consent at any time by pressing Reject or clearing site data. Email [email protected]. You may also complain to your local data-protection authority.

This policy changes by editing this page and its date. Children should use the site with a parent. If a third party named here changes its cookie names or retention, its own policy is the authoritative description.
