Privacy Policy — cutarock.com

What the pages load

On every page view, before you choose anything, the page requests Google Analytics 4 (measurement ID G-NSWQM2KF8K), Microsoft Clarity (project z8qee5m22h) and Adsterra (publisher 3403020, website 6176834). Adsterra serves two formats for this site: an in-page Native Banner (unit 32102023) and a floating Social Bar (unit 32102024). No Popunder, banner SDK, Smartlink or second ad network is used.

A first-party loader creates the three vendors’ tags on a first visit. A current Reject or Global Privacy Control signal prevents Clarity and Adsterra; GA4 stays enabled with analytics_storage granted. Google’s Consent Mode starts with ad_storage, ad_user_data and ad_personalization denied, analytics_storage granted and ads_data_redaction enabled before any config call. Fonts and game art are files shipped with this site, not calls to a font or image host.

A video on some pages is a still image until you press Play video. That click creates a frame to youtube.com in no-cookie mode (youtube-nocookie.com). From then, YouTube’s own policy applies to playback and to whatever that frame sets. The frame is not on the page before the click, so a normal visit does not contact YouTube.

Default loading, Accept and Reject

This site loads analytics, session recording and ads by default. It does not wait for an Accept click. The banner is a notice and a withdrawal control, not a gate. Accept records the choice and reloads the page with the tags enabled. Reject records denied for Clarity and ads for 180 days, then reloads the page so their tags and running code are stopped. Google Analytics 4 remains enabled, with analytics_storage granted. Cookie settings in the footer opens the banner again so you can change the choice at any time.

The choice is stored in this browser’s first-party local storage under the key cutarock-consent as a choice plus an expiry. The floating ad bar has its own first-party key, cutarock-ad-social-closed, which remembers a closed bar for 180 days. Neither key is a cookie and neither is sent to a third party.

Cookies and local storage

The table lists the names this site and its processors use. Third-party cookie names can change when a vendor updates its stack; the purpose and the opt-out links below stay the same.

Why we process this data

We use analytics to count page views and see which guides are read. We use Clarity heatmaps and recordings to find broken layouts and confusing controls. We use Adsterra to fund the site. The controls and defaults described in this policy explain the deployed technical behavior. No claim is made that displaying a notice alone supplies consent where local law requires it.

The site’s first-party choices expire after 180 days. We have not independently confirmed this GA4 property’s event-retention setting or a site-specific Adsterra log-retention period; those values are left unspecified. Consult the linked processor policies for their storage and retention practices.

Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track

If the browser exposes Global Privacy Control, the site writes denied for recordings and ads immediately and does not load Clarity or Adsterra. Google Analytics 4 remains enabled with analytics_storage granted. Do Not Track does not trigger additional behavior; use Reject or Global Privacy Control to stop recordings and ads.

Personalised advertising and opt-outs

Adsterra may personalise the ads it serves using its own identifiers. You can object to personalised advertising through Google ad settings (https://adssettings.google.com/), Your Online Choices (https://www.youronlinechoices.com/), the NAI opt-out (https://optout.networkadvertising.org/) and Adsterra’s privacy policy (https://adsterra.com/privacy-policy/). Reject on this site’s banner is the switch that stops this site from requesting the Adsterra tags at all, and the Hide ad bar button closes the floating bar for 180 days. ads.txt declares only Adsterra as a seller: adsterra.com, 3403020, DIRECT.

Mail, rights, and changes

If you email [email protected], the mailbox processes your address, message and attachments so the operator can assess your request. No automatic deletion period is asserted here; contact us to request deletion. You can ask for a copy, correction, deletion, restriction or objection by writing to the same address.

You can also delete the consent and ad-bar records yourself in the browser’s site data for cutarock.com, or press Cookie settings in the footer and choose Reject. You can complain to the data protection authority where you live. We have no user accounts to export. Children are not asked for an account here.
