Who we are
The site is giggleland.org. Contact [email protected]. We do not sell a game and we do not run an account system.
This is a fan guide. The only third parties are the measurement, session-replay and advertising services named below, plus YouTube when you press play on a video card.
Default loading, and how to say no
Google Analytics 4, Microsoft Clarity and Adsterra start on the first page view. They are not held back until you press Accept. The banner is there to inform you and to let you withdraw.
Press Reject and the page disables analytics, sends withdrawal signals, saves denied for 180 days and reloads without the vendor scripts. Reloading stops already-running ad and recording code. This cannot undo requests made before Reject. Press Accept to store granted for 180 days. The footer button Cookie settings reopens the banner. An expired choice is treated as a new visit; services load and the banner appears again.
Google Consent Mode v2 starts with ad_storage, ad_user_data and ad_personalization denied, analytics_storage granted, and ads_data_redaction enabled before configuration. Accept grants the Google advertising signals; Reject denies all four storage signals. These Google signals do not gate Adsterra or Clarity: those load by default unless you Reject.
Global Privacy Control is honored. If navigator.globalPrivacyControl is true, the site records denied, displays an explanatory notice and does not request the vendors. A Do Not Track header is not read as a separate switch in this build. You can object at any time through Cookie settings or the contact address.
What the pages load, and what it stores
| Third party | When it loads | Purpose | Cookies and storage | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Google Analytics 4 (gtag.js, G-3N0F5SBNZ3) | Every page view by default; no tag is requested on a return visit with a current Reject record or Global Privacy Control. | Count visits and page views so we know which walkthrough pages are used. | Observed first-party cookies _ga and _ga_3N0F5SBNZ3. Requests can include page URL, browser/device information and event identifiers. | Google documents up to 2 years for GA cookies, subject to browser limits and settings. We have not independently verified a custom GA4 report-retention setting. |
Microsoft Clarity (project z42cepsy6j) | Every page view by default. Reject sends a consent withdrawal and reloads without the tag. | Heatmaps and session replay of page interactions. Do not enter sensitive information into third-party widgets. | Observed first-party cookies _clck and _clsk. Microsoft also documents identifiers including CLID, MUID, ANONCHK, MR and SM, depending on browser and consent. | Microsoft documents 1 year for _clck and 1 day for _clsk. Other identifiers and recording retention follow Microsoft Clarity settings and policy. |
Adsterra (publisher 3403020; Native Banner 31943822, Social Bar 31943823) | Every page view by default. Reject removes the ad slots and does not request the ad host again. | Show the native banner in the footer and the dismissible bar at the bottom of the page, and pay for the hosting. | Observed advertising cookies include sb_main_d0882ec62686fc926a4e9d400de216a9, sb_count_d0882ec62686fc926a4e9d400de216a9 and dynamically named identifiers. Observed vendor localStorage includes oec_consent_v1 and extendedvaluekey. Partners may set other identifiers; this is not a fixed exhaustive cookie list. | Vendor- and browser-controlled; we have not verified a single retention period for all advertising identifiers. Reject prevents new requests after reload, but does not erase earlier vendor records. |
YouTube (privacy-enhanced youtube-nocookie.com embed) | When you press Play on a video card, and only while the choice is granted. There is no YouTube script in the first HTML. | Play the trailer and chapter videos cited on the page. | YouTube receives the playback request and device/network data after click. Its storage and cookie behavior depends on browser settings and interactions with the player. | Controlled by YouTube and your browser; no YouTube request or iframe is made by our video facade before click. |
| Our own consent record | When you press Accept or Reject, send Global Privacy Control, or close the sponsored bar. | Remember your choice and whether you closed the bottom bar. | localStorage key giggle_consent, JSON fields choice, ts, v; localStorage key giggle_float_closed holds the timestamp of the last close. | 180 days, then treated as a new visit. giggle_float_closed also expires after 180 days. |
| First-party pages, CSS, fonts, images | Every visit. | Show the guide. Fonts are files we host, not a Google Fonts request. | Browser cache only. | No server-side profile. |
Observed delivery hosts
Google: www.googletagmanager.com and www.google-analytics.com (regional Google Analytics endpoints may vary). Microsoft: www.clarity.ms, scripts.clarity.ms and letter-prefixed *.clarity.ms collection endpoints.
Adsterra: both configured placements request bicea.org. Observed ad delivery, images, scripts and creative frames also request static.nresystems.com, cdn.storageimagedisplay.com, cdn.show-sb.com, cdn.show-creative1.com and cdn.cloudpiko.com. These are advertising delivery partners, not extra services deliberately embedded by our editor. The creative and its downstream hosts may vary. All are requested by default and are stopped by Reject on the reloaded page.
A video click requests www.youtube-nocookie.com; the player may subsequently use Google video and image delivery hosts such as *.googlevideo.com and i.ytimg.com. Fonts, guide images and page styles are hosted by this site. Ordinary outbound source links do not load their sites until you follow them.
Advertising and personalized ads
Adsterra is the only advertising network directly configured on this site. The configured formats are Native Banner and Social Bar, with adult ads disabled in the integration record. We do not configure AdSense, Popunder, standard Banner or Smartlink units. We do not sell mailing lists; ad partners can receive identifiers as described above.
Adsterra and its partners may use cookies and device identifiers to limit repetition and to measure an ad. Where the law allows it, those partners may personalize ads. You can turn personalization off for the wider web here: Google Ads Settings, the DAA opt-out, the NAI opt-out, and Microsoft ad settings for Clarity and Microsoft identifiers. Pressing Reject on this site stops the Adsterra request on this site altogether.
We do not knowingly serve interest-based ads to children. The guide is written for players old enough to buy the game on Steam.
Your rights and how to use them
You can ask what this policy covers, ask for a copy of anything you sent us, object to the measurement, or ask us to forget an email. Write to [email protected]. We answer from the same address.
The consent record lives in your browser, not on our server. Cookie settings and Reject replace it with a denied record; clearing site data deletes it, which restores default loading on your next visit. Blocking the vendors with an extension also works; none is required to render the guide.
If you are in the EEA or the UK you may complain to your local data-protection authority. If you are in California you may ask us not to share personal information; we do not sell it, and Reject plus Global Privacy Control are the opt-out signals this site reads.
We will change this page when the scripts change, and we will move the date at the top. The old text is whatever git history the domain keeps.
Questions
Do you use cookies?
Yes. Google Analytics 4, Microsoft Clarity and Adsterra set their own cookies as described in the table. Our own choice is stored in localStorage under giggle_consent, not in a first-party cookie.
Do the analytics and ads load before I click Accept?
Yes. They load on the first page view. The banner informs you and lets you withdraw; pressing Reject turns them off and remembers that for 180 days.
How do I turn the ads and recording off?
Press Reject in the banner, or open Cookie settings in the footer and press Reject. The choice is kept for 180 days. Clearing site data also removes it.
Do you run personalized ads?
Adsterra and its partners may personalize where the law allows. Adult ads are off. Use the opt-out links above for the wider web, or press Reject here to stop the Adsterra request on this site.
