Privacy Policy

Updated 2026-10-14

This policy matches the scripts this build actually loads. If a vendor is not named here, it is not in the page.

Review date: 14 October 2026. Pages, fonts, and images load from this site. Four third-party systems are wired into this build — the Google Analytics 4 tag, the Microsoft Clarity session-insight tag, and two Adsterra ad units — plus YouTube, only after a click. None of them is requested before you press Accept; with Reject, with no choice made, or with Global Privacy Control on, the page is cookieless and ad-free.

Who is responsible

The independent operator of pixelblade.xyz handles this website. Contact [email protected] for privacy requests. Frost Blade Games operates the game separately. The intended hosting provider is Cloudflare Pages; Cloudflare Email Routing forwards mail sent to the public contact address to a Google Gmail mailbox. Email providers process that correspondence to deliver and store it.

Third parties that can load

Google Analytics 4 is the analytics product on this site. Its tag (measurement ID G-9F6PV2JKTY) is loaded from www.googletagmanager.com. Consent Mode v2 defaults are queued in a first-party script before the tag config, with ad_storage, ad_user_data, ad_personalization, and analytics_storage denied, plus ads_data_redaction enabled. Until you press Accept the tag runs in that denied, cookieless state; Accept updates analytics_storage to granted, Reject keeps it denied. Microsoft Clarity (project yxmhfaidp4, from www.clarity.ms) supplies heatmaps and session recordings and has no Consent Mode, so our own code requests it only after you Accept. Adsterra (adsterra.com) supplies two ad units created for this domain only, both requested from bicea.org: a Native Banner above the footer and the floating Social Bar. Adsterra receives the request, your IP address, the page you are on, and the browser and device details sent with any ad request; it may store its own first-party identifiers on pixelblade.xyz. Reject or no choice keeps all three of these tags out of the page. There is no other ad network, no AdSense tag, no popunder, no interstitial, no comment backend, and no banner SDK on this site. Fonts, the game icon, and screenshots are hosted on this site.

Google's YouTube player connects only after you select Play video. That click asks to load external media, separately from tracking preferences. The privacy-enhanced embed uses www.youtube-nocookie.com and may request assets or video from Google's youtube.com, ytimg.com, googlevideo.com, gstatic.com, and google.com domains. YouTube receives your IP address, browser details, referring origin, and interactions with its player. Its own terms and privacy policy apply. If you do not load a video, these media requests are absent. Selecting Reject in Cookie settings also removes an already loaded player.

Cookies and localStorage

The site writes two localStorage keys of its own. pb_consent holds accepted or rejected plus a timestamp; on a visit after 180 days an expired choice is removed and the banner appears again. pb_adbar holds whether you hid the floating Adsterra bar (hidden or shown) so that a bar you closed stays closed; it carries no identifier and no expiry. The site sets no analytics or advertising cookie before you Accept. After Accept, Google Analytics 4 can store its own first-party identifiers on pixelblade.xyz to tell one visit from another, Adsterra may store identifiers for the two ad units, and Microsoft Clarity may store its own session-recording keys on this domain; each of those belongs to the vendor, is set by the vendor's script, and stays unused if you Reject. External media may use cookies or other storage after you load its player. Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track set to 1 keep tracking consent denied. Cookie settings remains available with those signals enabled.

Legal basis for GA4, Clarity and the Adsterra ad units is your consent (GDPR Article 6(1)(a)); nothing else on this site is processed beyond serving the page you asked for. You can withdraw at any time: use Cookie settings in the footer and choose Reject, which overwrites pb_consent, takes both Adsterra tags back out of the page, and leaves the remaining vendors unrequested on your next visit.

Personalized-advertising controls, if you use them elsewhere: Google at https://adssettings.google.com and the Digital Advertising Alliance at https://optout.aboutads.info. Adult ads are switched off for this domain in the Adsterra backend, and we pass Adsterra no profile of your visit beyond what its own ad request carries. Our own ads.txt declares Adsterra as a seller with the real publisher id 3403020.

  • Key: pb_consent — your tracking choice
  • Key: pb_adbar — hidden or shown for the floating ad bar
  • Retention: 180 days, checked on the next visit
  • Reopen or withdraw: Cookie settings in the footer
  • Hide the ad bar: the Ad bar button next to Cookie settings
  • External media: loaded only by a video button

Your requests

You can ask for access, correction, deletion, or a copy of the correspondence you sent us, and you can ask which of the vendors above were requested in your browser. Email [email protected]. We change this policy by editing this page and updating the date. There is no sale of personal information in this build; the only advertising vendor is Adsterra, and its two ad units are named above.

Questions

Do you use cookies for ads?

Yes, two Adsterra ad units run on this site: a Native Banner above the footer and the floating Social Bar, both under Adsterra website id 6122846 with adult ads off. They are requested only after you press Accept, so the page is ad-free with Reject, with no choice made, or with Global Privacy Control on. We store no ad cookie ourselves: the two keys we write are pb_consent (your choice) and pb_adbar (whether you hid the floating bar).

How do I withdraw consent?

Use Cookie settings in the footer and choose Reject. That overwrites pb_consent, takes both Adsterra tags back out of the page, and stops the Clarity tag from being requested on your next visit.

How do I get rid of the floating ad bar?

Press the Ad bar button next to Cookie settings. The choice is stored in pb_adbar, so the bar stays hidden on later page views instead of coming back on every reload, and the button toggles it again.
