Your visit
Search and filters run in your browser. Search terms may appear in page URLs, browser history and hosting request logs. Email signup is optional. You can read the site without providing your email.
Publication activity
We use a first-party activity counter to understand which pages and features get used. It records the page path, pageviews, arrivals from outside the site (counted as visits, not people), video selections, share-control selections, release listening or preview selections, which on-site link was selected on the Links page, a broad screen-size group and the referring website hostname, grouped by day. It does not send search terms, full referring URLs, IP addresses, browser identifiers or personal profiles to our activity database, and it does not use analytics cookies. Reports cover the past 90 days and are visible only to the site owner. Older counts are removed when new activity is recorded. The counter respects Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track when enabled in your browser.
Hosting and access
Our hosting service processes requests to deliver and secure the website. Private access may require a hosting-provider account session. These services operate under their own privacy policies.
Video and links
Video covers load from YouTube’s image CDN, sending a normal image request. Article players load only when you select a video. On our Links page, one muted 30-second YouTube excerpt loads automatically when visible, unless reduced motion or data saver is enabled. Use Close preview or the player controls to stop it. Selecting another performance closes the previous player. Loading a player allows YouTube and Google to process device information, identifiers and cookies under their policies. External websites and Instagram operate independently.
Email links open your mail app. If you send a message, we receive the information you include through our email provider. We use it to respond to inquiries, assess submissions, and address corrections. Avoid sending sensitive personal information.
Email signup
If you choose to join our updates list, we store your email address, signup time, signup page and the version of the consent you accepted in our private website database. The list is accessible only through the protected owner studio. Email updates have not started, and no mailing service is connected. We do not sell this list or share it with advertisers. We retain your signup until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it. To unsubscribe, access your saved address or request deletion, reveal our email on Contact and write to us from that address. We remove it from the active list; limited records may remain in hosting backups under the provider’s retention policy.
Free guide downloads
Entering your email on Free Guides unlocks the selected PDF immediately. No download email is sent and newsletter signup is a separate optional checkbox. We store your email, selected guide, request time, optional newsletter choice and an expiring download-token hash in our private website database to support access and limit misuse. Download links work for one hour; enter your email again for a fresh link. Requests are retained for 30 days and older requests are removed during later downloads. Only an explicit newsletter choice adds you to the updates list, whose separate retention rules appear above. We do not sell these addresses or share them with advertisers. For access or deletion requests, reveal our email on Contact and write from that address.
Preventing abuse
To limit repeated signup, email-reveal and login attempts, the server temporarily stores a keyed hash of the requesting IP address with an attempt count and expiry. Raw IP addresses are not stored in this abuse-control table. These records expire within the applicable short rate-limit window and are removed during later checks. Hosting services may separately process request data to operate and protect the site.
Requests and changes
Use Contact to reveal our email for questions about information you have sent us, including requests concerning access or deletion. Include enough context to locate the correspondence. We review requests under applicable requirements. This notice should be updated when features or data practices change. Last updated October 4, 2026.
Appearance preference
The site follows your browser’s light or dark appearance by default. If you choose Light or Dark, we save that preference in your browser’s local storage. Choosing System removes the saved preference. This setting is not sent to us or used for tracking.
Music previews
Release pages link to official music services. Apple Music and Spotify players load only when you select a preview. The selected provider may then receive a request and process device information and cookies under its privacy policy. You can browse without loading a player. GTA VI Music uses official media shared by Rockstar Games and identifies independent coverage; no partnership is implied.
