Privacy Policy
Last updated:
This policy explains what information Game Codes (https://game-codes.org) collects when you visit, why, and the choices you have. The site has no accounts and no sign-up, so you can read every page without giving us any personal details.
Information we collect
We collect a small amount of information automatically when you browse, and only what you choose to send us otherwise:
- Usage analytics: the pages you view, how you arrived (for example from a search engine), your approximate country, device and browser type, and how long a visit lasts. Our own analytics stores a random visit identifier in your browser's local storage and short-lived cookies to tell one visit from another.
- Session recordings: our analytics can record how a page is used, such as scrolling and clicks, to find bugs and confusing layouts, with text typed into form fields masked. Recording is currently switched off on this site.
- Feedback you send: if you use the Feedback tab, we receive your message together with a screenshot of the page, the page address, your browser and screen details and recent page errors, so we can see the problem you describe.
- Emails you send us: your email address and whatever you write, used only to reply and fix the issue.
- Server logs: our hosting provider, Cloudflare, processes your IP address and request details to deliver pages and protect the site from abuse.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand which pages are useful and how people find the site. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to collect usage information, which Google processes under its own privacy policy. You can opt out with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Advertising and Google AdSense
The site is supported by ads served by Google AdSense. Google and its partners use cookies to serve ads based on your previous visits to this site and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and other sites on the internet.
You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings at adssettings.google.com. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at www.aboutads.info. Learn more about how Google uses information from sites that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
How we use information
We use the information above to run and improve the site: to keep code lists accurate, fix bugs, understand which games to cover, measure traffic and show ads that pay for the site. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it to build profiles of individual visitors.
Your choices
You can block or delete cookies and local storage in your browser settings; the site still works without them. You can use the opt-out links above for Google Analytics and personalized ads. Depending on where you live, you may have the right to ask what information we hold about you, or to ask us to delete it.
To make a request, email support@game-codes.org. We will respond within a reasonable time.
Children
Many of the games we cover are popular with younger players. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 beyond the automatic usage data described above, and the site has no accounts or profiles. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
Changes to this policy
If we change how we handle information, we will update this page and the date at the top. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the updated policy.
