Stormforge Guides

Privacy

This site serves static guide pages. It has no account system, comment form or newsletter sign-up.

Optional analytics

Google Analytics 4 is optional. It stays off until you choose Accept analytics in the footer’s Analytics choices. Use Keep analytics off to decline or withdraw permission.

When allowed on the main HTTPS site, analytics records page views and ordinary device and visit information to help us understand how guides are used. Page addresses are limited to the site origin and path; query strings and fragments are removed. Referring addresses are limited to their origin.

When you accept analytics, your browser contacts Google. Google receives and processes your IP address and browser/request information. See Google’s Privacy Policy for its data practices.

Our own release checks can attach a non-sensitive test-run label and debug flag to a page view. Other query parameters are not forwarded by the analytics adapter.

Your choice and browser storage

We store your accepted or rejected analytics choice in this browser’s local storage under stormforgeguides:analytics-consent:v1. Analytics stays off if that choice cannot be saved, Global Privacy Control is enabled, or the page is a preview.

If you allow analytics, Google Analytics can set first-party cookies, including _ga and a stream-specific _ga_… cookie. Withdrawing permission disables collection for this page and removes this site’s Analytics cookies. If the browser cannot save a changed choice, the footer status tells you.

Advertising and embedded media

We currently run no advertising scripts. Google advertising signals and ad personalization are disabled. Images and styles are served with the site; gameplay videos are not embedded.

Hosting and external links

The hosting provider may process ordinary request information, such as IP addresses, to deliver and secure the site. Following links to Google, Steam, YouTube or another website is subject to that service’s privacy practices.
