Privacy policy

Who we are

The site is idlechampions.xyz, an independent guide to Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms. Email [email protected]. We are not Codename Entertainment, Wizards of the Coast or Hasbro, and this policy covers the pages on this domain only.

Default load and how to withdraw

We load the vendors below as soon as a page opens, without waiting for a click. The banner on the first visit is notice plus a withdrawal control, not a gate. Accept keeps them on. Reject reloads the page, stops Google Analytics 4, Microsoft Clarity and Adsterra for this browser and writes the choice to localStorage for 180 days; Cookie settings in the footer opens the banner again so you can change it. If your browser sends Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track, we treat that as Reject. Clearing site data removes the stored choice, and the next visit counts as a fresh default load.

No vendor on this site waits for an Accept click before it loads. They load by default; Reject is the opt-out, and it is remembered.

What we store on your device

These two localStorage records are the first-party values our code writes. We do not run an account, newsletter, comment form or server-side profile on this domain. Google Analytics 4 and Microsoft Clarity can also set first-party cookies on this domain; Adsterra and its partners can set their own cookies. Those vendor cookies are described in the next section.

Third parties that load by default

Google Analytics 4, Microsoft Clarity and Adsterra are requested by our loader on a fresh visit. A stored Reject choice prevents all three vendor scripts from being requested on subsequent pages.

• Google Analytics 4 (Google; measurement ID G-X8853W068S). Loaded by default from googletagmanager.com and sending measurement requests to google-analytics.com, including regional collection hosts. It measures page views, approximate location, browser, device and interactions. Google's GA4 documentation lists _ga and _ga_<container-id> cookies with a default expiration of 2 years. Reject disables its loader and collection on subsequent page loads. Consent Mode v2 declares analytics storage granted and all three advertising signals denied before configuration; Accept explicitly updates the signals. See https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/11397207.
• Microsoft Clarity (Microsoft; project zau6td8gp2). Loaded by default from clarity.ms, scripts.clarity.ms and regional *.clarity.ms collection hosts. It records heatmaps and masked session replays, including clicks, scrolls and page layout. Microsoft's cookie documentation lists first-party _clck and _clsk, and third-party identifiers including MUID on Microsoft domains. Cookie availability and retention follow Microsoft's policy. Reject stops its loader and session recording. See https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/clarity/setup-and-installation/clarity-cookies.
• Adsterra (Adsterra Network; publisher 3403020, website 6186786, ad units NativeBanner_1 32171397 and SocialBar_1 32171398, scripts from bicea.org). It serves the sponsored box under the article and the fixed bar at the bottom-right, and may set its own cookies and read the page URL and your approximate location to choose a creative. Cookie names, domains and retention are chosen by the delivered creative and have no fixed documented value in this site's integration record. Adult ads are switched off for this site. Controls: default loading with a stored Reject option. Personalized-ad opt out: press Reject, use your browser's ad settings, or use Google's Ad Settings at https://adssettings.google.com/ for Google-served ads on other sites; Adsterra's own notice is at https://adsterra.com/privacy-policy/. The banner records your choice; a fresh default load is not evidence of affirmative consent.

Other third parties on the page

YouTube requests follow a play action and store requests follow an outbound link. Cloudflare infrastructure processes site access and messages as described below.

• YouTube (Google Ireland Limited). A gameplay video is a poster button, not an iframe, until you press play. Pressing it loads youtube-nocookie.com/embed/…, which may set its own cookies and receives your IP address. We do not load it on arrival. Opt out through https://myaccount.google.com/data-and-privacy.
• Steam, Epic Games, the App Store, Google Play, PlayStation, Xbox and CNE Games links leave this site for the store's own domain; that store's policy applies there. We do not embed the game.
• We do not run AdSense, a popunder, a smartlink, a push-notification prompt or a traffic-mesh banner SDK on this site.
• Cloudflare provides hosting infrastructure after deployment, DNS and email routing. Messages to [email protected] pass through our mail-hub Worker; their contents and sender address are used to answer your request. Cloudflare does not require a separate browser analytics tag on this site. See https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/.

Legal basis and retention

Analytics, session replay and advertising are enabled by default as described above; a fresh default load is not an affirmative consent action. Accept or Reject records your preference, and Cookie settings lets you change it. Our first-party choice records ic_consent and ic_socialbar_closed expire after 180 days. Google Analytics user and event data retention depends on the property's configuration; we have not published a verified property setting. Microsoft and advertising partners apply their own documented retention policies. Hosting and email infrastructure providers may process access logs and messages. Contact [email protected] about processing, retention or deletion.

Your rights

You can ask for access, correction, deletion, restriction, or object to processing, and you can withdraw consent at any time with the banner. Email [email protected]. You can also complain to a data-protection authority where you live. Deleting ic_consent and ic_socialbar_closed in your browser removes the local records immediately; vendor cookies are removed through your browser's site-data controls.

Changes

When we add or remove a vendor, this page names it, its keys and its purpose before the change ships. The modified date on this page is the change log. The date on the page is 9 November 2026.
