Privacy Policy

What this site stores

Nothing is stored on a server about you. There are no accounts, no sign-in, no profiles and no submissions. The site is a set of static pages, which means the same file is served to every visitor and no per-visitor record is created at the application level.

The only data kept about your use of the site lives in your own browser, is readable only by this site on your device, and never travels anywhere. It exists so that checklists and planners remember what you ticked between visits.

Cookies, analytics and advertising

Two third-party services run in your browser on this site. Both are described below in full, and both are subject to your choice wherever the law requires one.

Google Analytics 4 (measurement)

This site uses Google Analytics 4, measurement ID G-5B4JGFSND2, to count visits and to see which pages are actually useful. The tag is deliberately slow to start: it is loaded only after your first interaction (scroll, click, key press or touch) or after 20 seconds, whichever comes first, so it never competes with the page you asked for. Google Analytics sets first-party cookies such as _ga and _ga_5B4JGFSND2 that distinguish one browser from another, and it processes the IP address and user agent that any web request carries. That processing happens under Google's own terms; this site cannot read those cookies and does not combine them with anything else.

Advertising (third-party ad partners)

This site is free to read because it carries advertising supplied by third-party ad networks, currently Adsterra, and the domain is additionally declared to Google AdSense in our ads.txt file. Those partners may set or read cookies, web beacons and device identifiers — including IP address and user agent — and may use them to select, frequency-cap and measure advertising. Ad units on this site are labelled as advertising and their space is reserved in advance, so content does not jump when they load.

Nothing you type is passed to an advertiser. Correction emails and contact messages go only to the address below, and checklist or planner state stays in your own browser's local storage.

Your choice, before anything is set

Google Consent Mode v2 defaults are set before any analytics or advertising tag can run. Where prior consent is required — the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, detected from your time zone — analytics and advertising storage start denied, and a panel asks you to accept or reject before either service is allowed to store anything. Elsewhere storage starts granted and no panel is shown, because those regions do not require a prompt for this kind of processing.

Rejecting keeps analytics and advertising cookies switched off and also deletes any that were already written on this domain.

Changing your mind, and opting out

• Cookie Settings in the footer reopens your choice at any time, in every region, without reloading the page.
• Google Ads Settings controls personalised advertising across Google services.
• aboutads.info and youronlinechoices.com list industry-wide opt-outs for participating advertisers.
• Your browser settings can block or delete cookies for this domain; the reference still works with them blocked.

The site is run by an independent publisher reachable at [email protected], which is also where requests about this policy — including access to, or deletion of, the correspondence described below — should be sent.

Local storage

Tool pages keep their state in browser local storage under site-specific keys. A paralogue checklist stores which entries you ticked; planners store the filters you last used. These values are plain text on your device. They contain no identifier, no email address and no browsing history.

Clearing them is done from your browser: site data or local storage settings for this domain. Doing so resets tool progress to its default state and has no other effect, because nothing else depends on it.

Hosting and server logs

The site is served from static hosting, which necessarily processes the request that fetches a page. Standard request metadata such as IP address, user agent and timestamp may be logged by the hosting provider for security, abuse prevention and traffic accounting. That processing happens at the provider level and is described in the provider's own privacy terms.

Links and embedded content

Pages link out to sources such as the publisher's product page and reference wikis. Following an outbound link takes you to a site with its own privacy practices, which apply from the moment you arrive.

Many pages carry YouTube embeds — the trailer on the homepage and the press videos on the review page among them. They are click-to-load: nothing is requested from YouTube until you press play, and the player itself is served from YouTube's no-cookie domain. When you do press play, YouTube serves the video under its own policy and may set its own cookies. If you would rather not be connected to YouTube at all, simply do not press play; the surrounding text on those pages stands on its own.

Email correspondence

If you send a correction or a question to [email protected], your address and message are kept so the report can be checked and the row re-dated. Correspondence is not added to any mailing list and is not shared. A request to delete past correspondence is honoured, although the corrected row stays on the site, since the data itself carries no personal information.

Changes to this policy

Material changes are dated and noted on the patch timeline alongside game changes, so the history of this page is as traceable as the history of the data. Questions about anything on this page can be sent to the same inbox.
