Who operates this guide
surviveapsycho.org is an independent fan guide. Contact [email protected] about this policy, corrections, or data requests. We do not offer reader accounts. The site receives the messages you choose to send us; service providers below receive the network requests their features need.
Default loading and your choice
On a first visit without a saved refusal, Google measurement, Microsoft Clarity heatmaps and session recordings, and Adsterra advertising are requested immediately. The banner remains visible. Reject saves a refusal for 180 days, disables Google measurement, removes our ad loaders, and reloads the page so running vendor code and players are unloaded. On subsequent visits with a valid refusal, our page creates none of these vendor tags. Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track are treated as refusal. Accept starts the services again. Cookie settings in every footer opens the banner to change your choice.
Google Consent Mode v2 is initialized before configuration: analytics_storage is granted; ad_storage, ad_user_data and ad_personalization are denied; ads_data_redaction is enabled. A first visit then applies our default-on choice. Reject disables measurement using Google’s measurement-disable flag, in addition to denying the three advertising signals. Requests completed before withdrawal cannot be recalled. Deleting the site’s saved choice restores the first-visit behavior.
Third parties and purposes
| Service | Loading and hosts | Purpose / identifier |
|---|---|---|
| Google measurement | Default loading; Reject disables. www.googletagmanager.com and www.google-analytics.com | Page and session measurement; GA4 G-CY473X6SFC. Google may set first-party _ga and per-stream _ga_* cookies. Google controls their retention. |
| Microsoft Clarity | Default loading; Reject disables. www.clarity.ms, scripts.clarity.ms and regional *.clarity.ms collection hosts | Heatmaps and session replay; project zcbf4m6wo7. Clarity may use _clck, _clsk and Microsoft identifiers. Microsoft controls retention. |
| Adsterra | Default loading; Reject disables. bicea.org plus creative and demand-partner hosts selected by the vendor | Ad delivery and measurement; publisher 3403020, website 6193667. NativeBanner_1 unit 32223803 and SocialBar_1 unit 32223804. Adult ads are disabled in the saved account configuration. |
| YouTube (Google) | Click to play; Reject blocks player creation. www.youtube-nocookie.com, with YouTube / googlevideo.com / ytimg.com resources once played | Creator gameplay video. The thumbnail is served locally, so the facade makes no YouTube request. Google controls player data, storage and retention. |
| Cloudflare | Site hosting and domain mail routing when the site is deployed | Delivers pages and routes contact email to our mailbox. Network and mail metadata are processed to operate these services. |
We install no AdSense unit or second advertising network. Adsterra may select changing creative hosts; those hosts can receive IP address, browser/device information and the referring page and may set their own storage. We do not publish a guessed list of creative-host cookie names. The seller declaration in ads.txt contains only the active seller from our account.
Our browser storage
| Key | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
| sap_consent | Local storage record of granted or denied choice with an expiry timestamp | 180 days |
| sap_adbar_closed | Local storage record of Hide ad bar | 180 days |
These are the two keys our code writes. They stay in your browser and are not sent to our server. Hiding the ad bar affects that bar; use Reject to disable all optional services. If browser storage is unavailable, the saved choice cannot persist between page views.
Contact email and your requests
Messages sent to [email protected] are routed through Cloudflare to our mail-hub mailbox, where our editors can read and reply. Do not include passwords or private game-account details. We use messages to respond and investigate corrections and keep them while needed for that purpose. Ask us to delete a message, correct personal information, or explain what we hold using the same address. You may also contact your local data-protection authority. For provider-held identifiers and advertising preferences, use the providers’ privacy controls linked below.
Choices and changes
Use Cookie settings, then Reject, to stop optional services here. Google also provides an analytics opt-out add-on and My Ad Center. For advertising choices across providers see DAA and Your Online Choices. Provider processing and retention follow their policies. We update the date on this page when our service configuration or policy changes.
