Privacy policy
Who we are
This policy covers https://boosterpackheroes.org. The contact is [email protected]. We do not sell personal data. We do not run an account system.
What loads by default
A first visit with no stored choice is treated as granted. The page loads these third parties on the first screen, before you click anything: Google Analytics 4 (measurement ID G-NV0L3Q2B71), Microsoft Clarity (project zce6s8t6kk, heatmaps and session recordings), and Adsterra (publisher 3403020, Native Banner unit 32227242 and Social Bar unit 32227243). The banner describes this default-on behavior and offers Reject. This describes site behavior; a first visit or failure to click is not an affirmative statement of consent.
Press Reject and the site stores the rejected choice for 180 days, removes active ad units and reloads the page to unload the running integrations. The new page does not request GA4, Clarity or Adsterra. Requests already sent cannot be recalled. Press Accept to keep them on. The footer’s Cookie settings button reopens the banner at any time. Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track is treated as Reject.
Cookies and local storage
| Name | Set by | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
| bph-consent | this site (local storage) | Remember Accept or Reject so the banner stays dismissed | 180 days |
| bph-socialbar-closed | this site (local storage) | Remember that you hid the Adsterra Social Bar | Until you clear site data |
| _ga, _ga_ | Google Analytics 4 | Distinguish visits and sessions for aggregate traffic reports | Google documents a default 2-year cookie lifetime; this site’s property-level event-retention setting has not been verified |
| _clck, _clsk | Microsoft Clarity | Keep a Clarity user id and join page views into a session recording | _clck up to 1 year; _clsk up to 1 day |
| Adsterra cookies | Adsterra | Serve and measure ads, limit repeat impressions, and detect invalid traffic | Vendor-controlled; consult the current Adsterra policy |
| YouTube / itch.io cookies | Google / itch.io | Play the trailer or the demo you asked for | Set only after you press play; see their policies |
Purposes and contacted services
- Google Analytics 4 — aggregate page views, referrers and on-site behaviour so we know which guides are read. The integration contacts googletagmanager.com and google-analytics.com; it may transmit page URLs, referrers, device details and IP-derived location.
- Microsoft Clarity — heatmaps and session recordings so we can see where a page is confusing. The integration contacts clarity.ms, its collection subdomains, and Microsoft/Bing services such as c.bing.com for measurement. Those services may receive device, interaction and network information.
- Adsterra — display advertising that pays for the guide. Native Banner sits in the content; Social Bar is the floating bar at the bottom of the viewport. Adult ads are switched off in the Adsterra panel. The configured script host is bicea.org. Ads may contact Adsterra’s delivery and measurement partners to serve creatives and measure impressions; these destinations can vary by auction.
- YouTube and itch.io — the launch trailer and the playable demo. The player is inserted only when you press play. YouTube uses the youtube-nocookie.com embed and may contact youtube.com, ytimg.com and googlevideo.com. The demo uses itch.io and itch.zone. Their policies apply once a player loads; an embed may make requests even without storing a cookie.
- Server logs — the host records the request line, time and user agent to keep the site available and stop abuse. We use this information to operate the site and investigate abuse; hosting-provider retention is governed by its current policy.
Advertising choices
Adsterra and its partners may use cookies or device identifiers to personalise ads. You can opt out of personalised advertising at Google Ads Settings, aboutads.info or Your Online Choices. Opting out does not remove ads; it makes them less relevant. Reject on this site stops the Adsterra units here entirely.
Retention and your rights
The consent record lasts 180 days, then the banner asks again. We have not verified a property-level GA4 event retention period or a project-specific Clarity retention setting, so no such duration is promised here. Google, Microsoft and Adsterra describe their own collection and retention in the linked policies. You can ask for a copy of any email you sent us, ask us to delete that correspondence, or object to how we handle it — email the contact address. You can also clear site data in your browser to drop bph-consent and bph-socialbar-closed.
Changes
We will post policy changes on this page and move the checked date. If a new third party is added, it is named here in the same update that adds it.

FAQ
Do you run ads and analytics?
Yes. Google Analytics 4, Microsoft Clarity and Adsterra ads load by default on every page view. The banner tells you and lets you withdraw: press Reject and all three stop and the choice is stored for 180 days. Use Cookie settings in the footer to change it later.
How do I withdraw the banner choice?
Use Cookie settings in the footer and press Reject. The site stores bph-consent with a rejected choice for 180 days and reloads the page to unload the active integrations. Later page views skip GA4, Clarity and the ad units. You can also clear site data in your browser.
Do you sell personal data?
No. We do not sell personal data and we do not run an account system. Adsterra and Google may use data for advertising under their own policies; the opt-out links are in the policy below.
