Privacy, without the vague fog
The guide is designed to work without an account. This page explains what may be collected when optional measurement or advertising services are enabled.
Information this site can receive
You do not need to register, create a profile, or submit personal information to read this guide. Like most hosted websites, the infrastructure may process basic request information such as an IP address, browser type, requested page, approximate time, referrer, and security signals. These logs can be used to deliver the site, prevent abuse, investigate errors, and understand aggregate demand.
If you email the site operator, the message contains the address and information you choose to provide. It is used to answer the request, investigate a correction, or maintain a record of the conversation. Do not send passwords, account tokens, world files containing private information, or anything unrelated to the guide question.
Optional analytics and advertising
The site supports optional Google Tag Manager, Umami, Microsoft Clarity, OpenPanel, and Google AdSense integrations. A deployment may enable some or none of them. Analytics services can process page views, device and browser characteristics, broad location, referral source, interactions, and session diagnostics. Clarity can provide interaction replays or heatmaps when enabled. Their behavior is governed by the selected provider's settings and policies.
If Google AdSense is enabled later, Google and its partners may use cookies or similar technology to deliver, limit, and measure ads. Where consent is legally required, the production site should present the required consent controls before personalized advertising or non-essential measurement runs. Blocking cookies or using browser privacy controls can affect how those services operate but should not prevent access to the written guide.
- No account is required to read the site.
- Analytics variables left empty do not load their corresponding script.
- Advertising variables left empty do not load the AdSense script.
- External links, including Modrinth, have their own privacy practices.
Purpose, retention, and your choices
Information is used to operate and secure the site, measure which guides solve real questions, prioritize corrections, and evaluate whether the project is sustainable. The operator should keep identifiable support correspondence and raw logs only as long as reasonably necessary for those purposes, legal obligations, backups, and security. Aggregate statistics may be retained longer because they do not describe a specific visitor in ordinary use.
You can use browser controls to block or delete cookies, enable tracking protection, or prevent third-party scripts from loading. You may ask about personal information included in a message you sent by using the configured contact address in the footer. This policy may change when the hosting, analytics, consent, or advertising setup changes; the revised date at the top will identify the latest published version.
