Privacy Policy

This page is here to inform you about the data we use and the third-party services we use to track anonymous visitor data, as well as the use of cookies, by these third-party services.

Rest Assured, We Don't Collect any Data that can Personally Identify You

First up, we would like to reassure on the fact we do not collect data that can be used to personally identify you. Listed below, are the types of data we do not and never have collected.

- We don't collect email addresses

- We don't collect phone numbers

- We don't collect physical addresses

- We don't collect information about your name, age, gender, date of birth or occupation

We have been online for almost 15 years and have never collected any of the above information, which is something we are very proud of.

Third Party Services we use - GDPR / Data Privacy Policies and Cookie Use

Our website uses several third party services to help improve our website. These services include anonymous analytics tools, a site search tool and geo-targeting services.

We need these services for several reasons. The main use is to identify which of our game pages are popular and which ones are not. Using this information, we can focus on showing visitors the ones that people seem to be enjoying the most, rather than the ones people don't like so much.

In other words, we use this data to make the website better. The data we use is at the level of the population, rather than the individual, to show trends and collated metrics.

The web tracking services we use are Google Analytics and Statcounter. Below, you will find articles relating to their use of IP addresses, other data and cookies in the context of GDPR and European law.

In short, both of these companies argue that the data they track and store, including their cookies and IP address usage does not constitute personal data:
