This Blog is a non-commercial editorial platform. We do not sell products, process payments, or maintain user accounts for purchasing. The following sections describe our data practices related to comments, contact forms, cookies, analytics, and third-party advertising.
1. Information We Collect
1.1 Information You Provide Voluntarily
- Contact form: When you send us a message via the contact form, we collect your name, email address, and the content of your message. We use this solely to respond to your inquiry.
- Comments: If you leave a comment on an article, we collect your name (or pseudonym), email address, and the comment text. Your name and comment are publicly visible; your email is kept private and used only for moderation or follow-up if needed.
1.2 Information Collected Automatically
- Cookies and similar technologies: We use cookies, web beacons, and device identifiers to improve your experience, analyze traffic, and enable advertising. These may be set by us or by third-party services (see Sections 3 and 4).
- Log data: Our servers automatically record information such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, and pages visited. This data is aggregated and used for analytics and security.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the collected data for the following purposes:
- To respond to your inquiries submitted via the contact form.
- To display and manage comments on the Blog.
- To monitor and analyze trends, usage, and activities on the Blog (analytics).
- To serve relevant advertisements (including personalized ads) and measure their performance.
- To detect, prevent, and address technical issues or abusive behavior.
- To comply with legal obligations.
3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use both session cookies (which expire when you close your browser) and persistent cookies (which remain until deleted). Below is a breakdown of cookie categories used on gamefound.top:
3.1 Essential Cookies
These are necessary for the basic functioning of the Blog (e.g., security, load balancing). No consent is required for these.
3.2 Analytics Cookies
We use analytics services (such as Google Analytics or similar) to understand how visitors interact with our content. These cookies collect anonymized data about page visits, time spent, and navigation paths. We process this data to improve our articles and user experience.
3.3 Advertising Cookies (including personalized ads)
We may display advertisements via third-party ad networks, including but not limited to Google AdSense. These networks use cookies and device identifiers to:
- Build a profile of your interests based on your browsing activity across different websites.
- Show you ads that are more relevant to you (personalized ads).
- Limit the number of times you see the same ad and measure ad effectiveness.
These cookies are placed by the ad network, not by us. You have control over how these technologies are used.
3.4 Your Cookie Choices
When you first visit gamefound.top, you will see a cookie consent banner (compliant with GDPR and ePrivacy Directive). You can:
- Accept all cookies.
- Decline non-essential cookies (analytics and advertising).
- Customize your preferences per category.
You can also manage cookies through your browser settings (block, delete, or restrict). Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the Blog.
4. Third-Party Advertising and Opt-Out Information
4.1 How Ads Use Cookies and Device Identifiers
Third-party ad networks (e.g., Google AdSense, Mediavine, or similar) may use cookies, web beacons, or mobile device identifiers to:
- Recognize your browser or device across different websites and apps.
- Deliver ads tailored to your interests (personalized advertising).
- Track conversions and prevent ad fraud.
These practices are governed by the privacy policies of the respective ad networks, not by gamefound.top.
4.2 Opt-Out of Personalized Advertising
You can opt out of personalized advertising from Google and other participating ad networks through the following mechanisms:
- Google Ads Settings: Visit https://adssettings.google.com to manage or disable personalized ads from Google.
- AboutAds.info / YourAdChoices: The Digital Advertising Alliance provides a centralized opt-out tool at https://optout.aboutads.info (US) and https://www.youronlinechoices.com (EU).
- Network Advertising Initiative (NAI): Visit https://optout.networkadvertising.org for additional opt-out options.
Please note that opting out of personalized ads does not mean you will see fewer ads — you will still see non-personalized (contextual) ads based on the content of the page.
4.3 Children’s Privacy
We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 16. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at [email protected] and we will delete it promptly.
5. Data Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell your personal information. We may share data in the following circumstances:
- Service providers: We use trusted third-party services for hosting, analytics, email delivery, and ad management. These providers are contractually bound to process data only on our instructions.
- Legal requirements: If required by law, court order, or governmental authority, we may disclose information to comply with legal obligations.
- Protection of rights: To protect the safety, rights, or property of gamefound.top, our users, or the public.
6. Data Retention
We retain your personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy:
- Contact form submissions: Retained for up to 12 months after the last correspondence.
- Comments: Retained indefinitely as part of the public record, unless you request deletion.
- Analytics and advertising data: Retained according to the retention policies of the respective third-party providers (typically 14–50 months).

Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries outside your country of residence, including the United States, where our servers and third-party service providers are located.
