Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 23, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Tricky Story Guide (“we”, “our”, “us”). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This privacy policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that information.

2. Information We Collect

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to collect anonymous usage data. This includes:

• Pages visited and time spent on each page
• Referring website (how you arrived at our site)
• Generic device information: browser type, operating system, screen resolution, country (derived from IP, not stored)

We do not collect names, email addresses, or any personally identifiable information through normal site usage. The site has no user accounts, login systems, or comment forms.

3. Cookies

We use a small number of cookies to support site functionality and analytics:

• Google Analytics cookies (_ga, _ga_*): distinguish unique visitors and sessions. Expire after 2 years.
• Google AdSense cookies (when ads are served): used to deliver personalized advertisements based on your interests and measure ad campaign effectiveness. You can opt out of personalized advertising at Google Ad Settings.

You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time without affecting site functionality. You may also opt out of personalized advertising through the Google Ad Settings page.

4. Third-Party Services

We rely on the following third-party services:

• Google Analytics 4 — anonymous usage analytics. See Google’s Privacy Policy.
• Vercel — site hosting and content delivery. See Vercel’s Privacy Policy.
• YouTube embeds — video walkthroughs may load YouTube’s player, which can set its own cookies if you interact with the video.
• Google AdSense — third-party advertising. See section 4.1 below for full details on data collected through ads.

4.1 Google AdSense and Advertising

We display advertisements through Google AdSense. When you view or interact with these ads:

• Google may collect information about your visit through cookies and web beacons, including your IP address, browser type, pages viewed, and time spent on our site.
• This data is used to deliver personalized or contextual advertisements based on your interests.
• You can opt out of personalized advertising at Google Ad Settings.

For details on how Google processes data collected through ads, see Google’s Privacy Policy.

5. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights under GDPR (EU/EEA), CCPA (California), or similar laws:

• Right to access any personal data we hold about you
• Right to request deletion of your data
• Right to opt out of analytics tracking (browser “Do Not Track” or use of ad blockers)

Since we collect no personal information beyond anonymous analytics, most requests can be fulfilled by clearing your browser cookies.

6. Children’s Privacy

Our site is suitable for all ages (the game is rated for general audiences), and we do not knowingly collect data from children under 13. Google Analytics does not collect personal information from any age group on this site.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be noted by updating that date.
