Who: the operator of hookeddailygame.org. Contact [email protected]. This policy covers this guide, not hookeddailygame.com. The game's own privacy page lists Ezoic, Stripe, Supabase, and others. Those belong to the game.

Default loading and your choice: on a first visit this guide loads Google Analytics 4, Microsoft Clarity and Adsterra advertising scripts as the page renders. The cookie banner tells you that and offers Accept and Reject. Nothing waits for an Accept click. If you press Reject, the page stores rejected for 180 days and reloads without requesting GA4, Clarity or Adsterra scripts. Reloading unloads scripts that already ran; it does not undo data sent before your choice. If you press Accept, the same scripts stay on and the choice is stored for 180 days. You can reopen the banner from Cookie settings in the footer at any time. If your browser sends Global Privacy Control, the guide treats that as Reject and does not wait for a click. Do Not Track is not used as a second switch.

Local storage keys: hdg_consent holds the choice (granted or rejected) and an expiry about 180 days out. hdg_social_closed holds the closed state of the fixed Social Bar and an expiry about 180 days out, so a bar you close stays closed after a reload. Both are localStorage entries, not cookies, and both stay in your browser until they expire or you clear site data. The guide does not write any other first-party cookie.

Google Analytics 4: the guide loads gtag.js from www.googletagmanager.com and sends measurement requests to www.google-analytics.com with Measurement ID G-EBYDDBMCP7. GA4 may set first-party cookies such as _ga and _ga_<container-id>; Google documents a default lifetime of 2 years, subject to browser limits and property settings, and sends page views, approximate location derived from the request, device and browser information, and interaction events to Google. We use it to count visits and see which pages are read. Google may process the data outside your country under its own safeguards. Google's privacy policy is at https://policies.google.com/privacy and the opt-out browser add-on is at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Microsoft Clarity: the guide loads the Clarity tag for project zcf8jfvwmm from clarity.ms. Clarity records sessions, clicks, scrolls and heatmaps and may set cookies such as _clck, _clsk, CLID and Microsoft's MUID. Cookie lifetimes and masking behavior follow Microsoft's current documentation and project settings. We use it to see where readers get stuck. Microsoft's privacy statement is at https://privacy.microsoft.com/privacystatement and the Clarity data page is at https://clarity.microsoft.com.

Adsterra: the guide loads its Adsterra scripts from bicea.org for publisher 3403020 (website 6194279): Native Banner unit 32228436 in the content flow and Social Bar unit 32228437, the fixed bar at the bottom. Adsterra and its demand partners may set cookies or similar identifiers, read approximate location and device data, and use them to choose and measure ads. The exact cookie names and lifetimes are set by Adsterra and can change; see https://adsterra.com/privacy-policy/ for the current list. Adult ads are switched off for this website. Google advertising storage and advertising data signals default to denied; choosing Accept updates them to granted. Adsterra is loaded separately by default and may use its own advertising identifiers. Reject disables its loader on the reloaded page. To opt out of personalized advertising, use Google Ads Settings at https://adssettings.google.com, the NAI opt-out at https://optout.networkadvertising.org/, the DAA opt-out at https://optout.aboutads.info/, or Your Online Choices at https://www.youronlinechoices.com/. You can also press Reject in the banner.

Other parties the pages actually use: Cloudflare serves the site and may set a short-lived __cf_bm bot-management cookie and keep security logs. The fonts are files on this site, not a request to a font host. This guide does not embed YouTube, Vimeo, AdSense, Ezoic or a session-replay product other than Clarity. If that changes, this page gains a named row before the script ships.

Your controls: scripts load by default while the banner remains visible. The site stores a choice only when you click Accept or Reject, or when it respects Global Privacy Control. You can change that choice through Cookie settings. A first visit is not recorded as an affirmative Accept. Clearing the stored choice returns the site to default loading on your next visit. Cloudflare handles security and ordinary hosting logs to deliver the site. We do not sell contact emails or build a cross-site profile ourselves.

Retention: hdg_consent and hdg_social_closed stay in your browser for about 180 days unless you clear them. GA4 and Clarity retention depend on the active property or project settings and the providers' policies; this guide does not publish an unverified retention value. Adsterra keeps ad data under its own retention schedule. Email you send us is kept long enough to answer and to fix the page, then deleted from the mailbox in the ordinary course. Hosting logs may exist at Cloudflare for security.

Your rights: you can ask for a copy of email you sent, ask us to delete it, or object to how the guide is run. Write to the contact address. You can clear hdg_consent and hdg_social_closed yourself in the browser, or open Cookie settings in the footer and choose Reject. If you are in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland you may complain to your supervisory authority. If you are in California, you may ask what categories we collect and ask us to delete it; we do not sell or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising ourselves.

Changes: when a script is added or removed, this page gains or loses a named row before the change ships, and the checked date moves. The current version was checked on 12 Nov 2026.

Questions people ask

Do you load analytics and ads before I click Accept?

Yes. GA4, Clarity and Adsterra load by default so the guide can stay free. The banner tells you and lets you press Reject, which turns them off and stores that choice for 180 days.

What is stored in my browser?

hdg_consent (your choice, 180 days) and hdg_social_closed (the closed state of the fixed ad bar, 180 days). GA4, Clarity and Adsterra may also set their own cookies as described above.

How do I turn the ads and recording off?

Press Reject in the banner, or reopen it from Cookie settings in the footer. You can also clear site data for hookeddailygame.org.

Do you use personalized ads?

Google advertising signals default to denied until Accept. Adsterra loads by default and may use advertising identifiers under its policy. Reject reloads the guide without its scripts; the provider opt-out links above offer additional controls.
