ESCAPEACADEMY 2

Privacy policy

This policy matches the scripts on the site as of 8 Nov 2026. Google Analytics 4, Microsoft Clarity and Adsterra load on the first view without waiting for a click. The cookie banner says so and lets you withdraw: Reject turns all three off and remembers the choice for 180 days.

Who we are

The site is escapeacademy2.org. Contact [email protected]. We are an independent guide and are not Coin Crew Games or iam8bit.

Running the guide is our legitimate interest: publishing pages you asked for. Measurement and advertising rely on your consent where the law requires it, and you can withdraw that consent at any time with Reject.

What loads, and who receives it

Google Analytics 4 (measurement ID G-QWZXGCRNJZ) counts page views and basic events. Microsoft Clarity (project za7q6cmpr4) records heat maps and session replays so layout problems can be found; Clarity masks form input and other sensitive content by default. Adsterra (publisher 3403020, website 6183831) serves two placements: NativeBanner_1, unit 32151058, inside the page, and SocialBar_1, unit 32151059, a fixed bar at the bottom of the viewport. Adult ads are switched off at the Adsterra website level.

The Clarity and Adsterra snippets are created by this site own loader once the document is ready. The initial HTML contains their URLs as strings only, so no ad or recording script blocks the page. On a first visit, and whenever no choice is stored, all three are treated as granted. Reject is the withdrawal path. Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track is treated as a rejection even before you click.

YouTube videos are facades: the youtube-nocookie.com frame is created only after you press play. Once it is created, YouTube (Google) sets its own cookies under its own policy, linked below. No other third-party script, tag manager or banner SDK loads on these pages.

What the browser stores

The site own keys are ea_consent and ea_float_closed in localStorage. ea_consent records whether measurement and ads are granted or denied, when you chose, and the 180-day lifetime. ea_float_closed records that you used the close button on the floating Adsterra bar and stays until you clear site data or choose Accept again. The footer button Cookie settings reopens the notice so you can change the choice at any time.

The vendors also set cookies and similar storage. The table lists the ones observed or documented for this site; an ad creative can set additional short-lived identifiers in its own frame.

Advertising, personalised ads, and opting out

Adsterra and the advertisers it works with may use cookies or local storage to limit repetition, measure a campaign and detect invalid traffic. The site does not ask for an account and does not sell personal data. Where personalised advertising applies, you can object through the Adsterra privacy policy at https://adsterra.com/privacy-policy/ and through the industry tools at https://www.youronlinechoices.com, https://optout.aboutads.info and https://adssettings.google.com.

The Adsterra line in /ads.txt is adsterra.com, 3403020, DIRECT. That seller ID is the publisher account that serves the two units named above; no other ad network is declared.

Default loading and how to withdraw

Measurement and advertising are on by default. The banner is a notice and a withdrawal control, not a gate that blocks the page. Press Reject and the site records the denial, removes the ad slots, stops the Clarity and Adsterra scripts, sends a denied consent update to Google Analytics 4, and reloads the page to stop measurement and ad scripts that are already running. Later pages do not load those scripts while the denial remains valid. The denied record is kept for 180 days. Press Accept, or use Cookie settings and Accept, to turn them back on.

You can also block scripts with a browser extension or a content blocker; the guide pages still render because none of these vendors is required for the content. Deleting the two localStorage keys resets the site to its default-on state on the next visit.

Rights, retention, and changes

Mail sent to [email protected] is kept only as long as the thread is open, then deleted, unless a rights dispute requires a longer copy. You can ask for a copy, a correction, or deletion by emailing that address, and you can complain to a supervisory authority where you live. No special-category data is requested and we do not sell personal information.

Google Analytics and Clarity retain their identifiers for the periods in the table; we do not receive a copy of them. A material change updates the date at the top of this page and this policy. The cookie aliases /privacy-policy/, /cookie-policy/ and /cookies/ redirect here.
