Privacy
Last updated
The short version
This site has no accounts, forms, or first-party analytics, and we set no first-party cookies. Some player-count and charts pages load advertising supplied by Adsterra. Those ads make third-party requests and may use cookies or similar technologies to deliver, limit, secure, and measure advertising.
What we collect from you
Nothing that you provide, because there is no way to provide anything. There are no accounts, no sign-ups, no comments, no newsletter, no contact form, and no search box that reaches a server. Every page here is the same for every visitor.
Cookies
We do not set first-party cookies for preferences, sessions, or analytics. On pages where advertising is enabled, Adsterra and its advertising partners may set or read third-party cookies, local storage, or similar identifiers. Your browser privacy controls or content blocker can limit these technologies, although doing so may stop an ad from appearing.
If you disable or re-enable ads, this site stores that single preference in your browser’s local storage. It is not sent to our server and is used only to decide whether the advertising script may load.
Analytics and tracking
We run no first-party analytics: no Google Analytics, heatmaps, or session recording. Google Search Console gives us aggregate information about search results and requires no code on these pages. Adsterra separately measures ad delivery, impressions, clicks, and invalid traffic on pages where its ads load. That processing may include an IP address, browser and device details, the referring page, and advertising identifiers.
Server logs
Requests to any website reach a web server. Standard server logs — IP address, browser user-agent string, requested address, and a timestamp — are the only visitor data we keep directly. They are used to keep the site running and to investigate faults.
They are not linked to anything else, not combined with any other source, not sold, not shared, and not used to build a profile of anyone. There is no identifier here that could tie two visits together.
Third parties
The site relies on these third parties:
- Steam. We fetch player counts from Steam’s public API. That request is made by our own collector from our own server, on a schedule — never by your browser, and never in response to your visit.
- Our hosting provider, which operates the machine the site runs on and therefore handles the traffic described above.
- Google Search Console, which reports aggregate statistics about how this site appears in search results. Ownership was verified through a DNS record, so no Google code runs on these pages.
- Adsterra and its advertising partners. On pages with an ad slot, your browser loads advertising resources from Adsterra-controlled domains, including effectivecpmnetwork.com and highperformanceformat.com. Those providers receive the request directly and process it under their own policies. See the Adsterra privacy policy and cookies policy for details.
One honest exception. When a page here is shared on a social platform, the preview image address in that page’s metadata points at Steam’s image server. Your browser never requests it while you are reading — only the platform that renders the preview does, and only when someone shares a link.
Advertising
Adsterra ads appear only in labeled placements on player-count and charts pages. The homepage, trending pages, server-status pages, About page, and this Privacy page do not request Adsterra advertising scripts. Adsterra chooses and serves the creative and destination; we may receive aggregate impression, click, and revenue reports, but no account identity exists on this site for us to attach those reports to.
Advertising is enabled by default on eligible pages and loads after hydration. You can disable or re-enable it here. Global Privacy Control is treated as a decline and overrides a saved preference.

Your data rights
There is no account or first-party visitor profile here. Requests concerning our server logs can be made to the site operator. For information or choices concerning data processed by Adsterra and its partners, use the controls and contact details in the Adsterra privacy policy; you can also clear or block third-party storage in your browser.
Children
This site is not directed at children, has no accounts, and does not ask for anyone's age. Advertising shown on the limited ad-supported pages is supplied by Adsterra and is governed by its policies.
Changes to this page
The date at the top is the last time the text changed. Because everything above is a description of how the site is actually built rather than a list of permissions, changing this page means the site itself changed.
