Default loading and withdrawal

Google Analytics 4 (G-MLRE4GECRB), Microsoft Clarity (z31w03kzod) and Adsterra (publisher 3403020, Native Banner 31910363 and Social Bar 31910364) are loaded by default when no unexpired choice is saved. This includes requests to www.googletagmanager.com, www.google-analytics.com, www.clarity.ms and two ad scripts on bicea.org. Clarity may use scripts.clarity.ms, *.clarity.ms and c.bing.com; ads may contact additional delivery partners. Requests disclose your IP address and request metadata to the receiving provider.

Consent Mode v2 starts with ad_storage, ad_user_data and ad_personalization denied, analytics_storage granted, and ads_data_redaction enabled before the Analytics config. The site then applies its default-on or remembered choice. These settings describe behavior; default loading is not evidence of explicit visitor consent.

Reject disables Analytics measurement, tells Clarity to stop, removes ad and recording tags, saves denied, and reloads to discard third-party timers and frames. On later pages Clarity and Adsterra are not requested and Analytics measurement stays disabled. The Google tag library itself can still be downloaded. Requests already sent cannot be recalled. Cookie settings reopens the banner; OK restores services. Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track is treated as Reject before configuration.

Storage and recipients

Our preference records use localStorage. Vendor scripts can also write cookies on this site or their domains. These are documented examples, not a promise that every cookie appears on every visit.

  • ds_consent: choice and expiry, stored locally for 180 days. ds_socialbar_closed: the time you close the floating ad, also honoured for 180 days.
  • Google LLC: page views, device and referrer information. The _ga and _ga_MLRE4GECRB cookies can persist for two years; the tag cookie lifetime is configured to two years. Analytics report retention is controlled separately by the provider account.
  • Microsoft Corporation: clicks, scrolling, device information and session recordings. Documented cookies include _clck (one year), _clsk (one day), CLID (one year), ANONCHK (ten minutes), MR (seven days), MUID (one year) and SM (session). These can use the site, clarity.ms and bing.com domains. Provider masking and settings affect collection. We do not ask for passwords or payment details.
  • Adsterra and delivery partners: advertising requests, impressions and frequency data through bicea.org and partner infrastructure. Cookie names and lifetimes depend on the campaign; we do not claim a fixed list. Adult ads are disabled in the placement configuration. Closing the floating ad leaves the native placement and Clarity active; use Reject to disable these services.
  • YouTube / Google: a youtube-nocookie.com iframe is created only when you click a video control. Its preview is local, with no YouTube request before the click. Playback may contact youtube-nocookie.com, youtube.com, googlevideo.com and ytimg.com and use playback storage. Privacy-enhanced embedding does not make playback anonymous. A deliberate video click requests playback independently of the advertising preference.
  • Cloudflare: hosts static pages and routes contact email to our mail-hub Worker. It processes connection and security metadata and messages sent to us. Email also involves your provider and providers used for replies.

Choices, advertising and children

Reject stops optional ads, recording and Analytics measurement on this browser. It does not erase cookies set on other sites. Clearing site preferences brings the banner back. Browser privacy controls and vendor opt-out pages provide additional choices.

Ad delivery partners may use information for personalized advertising. We do not operate accounts, sell Roblox items or ask for a child’s name, age, payment details or Roblox password. Parents can contact us about a child’s information. We do not knowingly request personal information from children under 13; avoid identifying details in correction emails.

Depending on location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to processing. Contact us about information we control. Default loading is not an explicit consent action. Where prior consent is required by applicable law, this notice does not replace that requirement.

Retention, transfers and contact

Preference records expire after 180 days. Provider data has its own settings and published rules; we do not assert unverified Analytics or Clarity account retention settings. Contact messages are kept as needed to respond and handle corrections, privacy requests or legal obligations, and can be requested for deletion.

Google, Microsoft, Adsterra, YouTube, Cloudflare and email providers may process information outside your country. Their policies describe safeguards and legal bases. Our purposes are operating the site, answering messages, measuring use, diagnosing problems and advertising. Applicable rights and legal bases depend on jurisdiction and processing.

Write to [email protected] and name the relevant page. Do not send passwords. This policy changes when services or behavior change.

Research note. Google Analytics 4, Microsoft Clarity and Adsterra are requested on the first visit. The banner provides notice and a Reject control. Reject is saved for 180 days and reloads the page to stop already running advertising and recording code.
