Who we are
GameClimate (“we”, “us”, or “our”). Our website address is https://www.gameclimate.com/. This page explains what we collect when you use our website, how we use it, the choices you have, and the terms for using the site.
Information we collect
When you visit, your browser sends standard information such as your IP address, browser type, language, the page that referred you and the time of the request. Like most web servers, our server keeps standard access logs, which include IP addresses, to keep the site secure and troubleshoot problems. These logs are deleted after about two weeks.
If you email us, we use your message and email address only to reply.
If you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to check whether your browser accepts cookies. It contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
How we share information
We do not sell or rent your personal information. We share information only with service providers who help us run the site, such as our hosting provider, with Google for analytics as described below, or when required by law or to protect our rights, our visitors or the public.
Cookies and similar technologies
A cookie is a small piece of information a website stores in your browser. We use cookies and similar technologies as described below. See Your data collection choices for how to control them.
Cookie consent
In the EEA, UK and Switzerland we ask for consent before any non-essential cookies or analytics load. Visitors there, and visitors whose location we can’t determine, see a consent message and can choose Accept or Reject.
We determine your country from your IP address for this. The same lookup feeds our own site statistics, which are aggregate daily counts of views and reads by article and by country, site-wide counts by region and city, and time on page and scroll depth in broad ranges. To count a visit once a day, we use a temporary code that is deleted within 24 hours. We do not share this data with third parties.
This product includes GeoLite Data created by MaxMind, available from https://www.maxmind.com.
Visitors elsewhere, including the US, have analytics on by default and can opt out anytime with the Your Privacy Choices link in the footer. Browsers that send a Global Privacy Control signal are treated as opting out of any sale or sharing of personal information.
We use Google Consent Mode. In the EEA, UK and Switzerland, Google analytics and advertising storage stays off until you choose Accept. Accept turns on analytics and loads Google Analytics. Reject keeps them off, and Google Analytics does not load.
Essential consent cookie
Cookie gc_cookie_consent_v2 remembers your choice. It lasts about 270 days. It is set when you make a choice, or on your first visit outside the EEA, UK and Switzerland unless your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal. We do not keep a separate record of your choice.
Non-essential cookies
Google Analytics (analytics). Google may set analytics cookies such as _ga and _ga_*. You can install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on to opt out of Google Analytics on all websites.
Google is a third party. See Google’s Privacy Policy and How Google uses data when you use our partners’ sites or apps.
Some content may be served by third parties. We don’t control their tracking technologies beyond the consent controls described here.
Your US state privacy rights
Residents of California and some other US states have the right to know what personal information we collect, to request that we delete it, and to request that we correct it. We also honor Global Privacy Control signals from your browser. To make a request, contact us using the details on this page. We won’t discriminate against you for exercising these rights.
Your data collection choices
Your Privacy Choices. You can change your cookie choice anytime with the Your Privacy Choices link in the footer.
Browser controls. You can set your browser to refuse all or some cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. Some parts of the site may not work properly if you do.
Embedded content from other websites
Some articles include YouTube videos. Most show a preview image from YouTube, and the video loads from YouTube when you press play. Some older articles load the YouTube video directly when you open the article. Embedded content behaves as if you had visited the other website, which may collect data about you, use cookies and track your interaction with it, especially if you are logged in there.
Our footer links to our X account. Other websites we link to have their own privacy policies.
Children under 13
Our website is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If we learn we have collected personal information from a child under 13, we will delete it. If you believe we might have such information, contact us at tips@gameclimate.com.
