Privacy Policy
Last updated
This policy explains the information involved in delivering the site, measuring readership, loading external media and operating the private editorial workspace.
1. Overview
Public reading is open and account-free. Visitors can read game news, original articles and cultural material directly, while a separate private workspace supports authorized editors.
The site follows a data-minimization approach: information is used for page delivery, audience measurement, security and editorial administration according to the specific purpose described below.
2. Information received automatically
When you request a page, hosting, delivery and security systems may receive standard technical information such as your IP address, browser and device type, requested URL, referring page, date and time, and basic request or error details.
These records support page delivery, reliability, abuse prevention and service security. Public browsing remains separate from the private administrator account system.
3. Analytics and cookies
When a valid measurement ID is configured, the site uses Google Analytics 4 to understand visits, page use and site performance. Google Analytics may receive page URLs and titles, referrers, browser and device information, approximate location derived from network information, and interaction events. Google may use cookies or similar technologies under its own policies.
You can restrict analytics through browser privacy controls, cookie settings or content-blocking tools. Blocking analytics should not prevent you from reading the public site.
4. Embedded content and external links
Some pages contain embedded YouTube videos. Loading or playing an embedded video connects your browser to YouTube, which may receive network, device, cookie and playback information under Google's and YouTube's policies.
Links to Game Science, museums, news sources and social platforms open services governed by their own privacy practices. Those links are included to preserve source visibility and give readers access to the original record.
5. Private content administration
A provisioned editorial team manages news and blog content through a private workspace. Google sign-in and an authentication cookie support access to that workspace. Administrator account details, verified email status, access permissions and session records may be stored in the site's database.
Published articles and article images are stored and delivered through database and object-storage services. This editorial path operates separately from ordinary public reading.
7. Your choices
Browser settings and privacy tools can block or delete cookies, restrict analytics and prevent embedded third-party media from loading. External source links can also be opened according to your own browser and privacy preferences.
These controls may affect analytics or embedded features while ordinary public articles remain available through the site.
8. Young audiences
The site serves a general audience through open reading pages. Its public experience is account-free and keeps personal submission features outside the reading flow.
9. Changes to this policy
This policy will be revised when the site's data practices or service providers materially change. The last-updated date at the top of the page identifies the current published version.
