Privacy policy
This policy describes the scripts and cookies on huntingsimulator3.com as of 30 October 2026. Analytics, session replay and ads load by default; the banner lets you reject them, and Reject is remembered for 180 days.
What loads, and when
On a first visit with no saved choice, Google Analytics 4, Microsoft Clarity and Adsterra scripts are requested by default. Accept keeps them on. Reject saves a denied choice for 180 days and reloads the page without those integrations, stopping code already running. A valid saved rejection or Global Privacy Control prevents their scripts from loading. The YouTube player is separate: only pressing its poster requests the player, including after Reject. A poster and a normal outbound link make no YouTube request.
| Third party | Purpose and request hosts | Cookies and keys | Retention / evidence limits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google Analytics 4 (GA4) | Page-view analytics; loads www.googletagmanager.com and sends analytics to google-analytics.com hosts by default. Reject disables it. | Google documents its standard Analytics client-ID cookies; see the linked cookie-usage documentation. | Google documents a default cookie lifetime of 2 years, subject to browser limits. The property-specific event retention setting was not independently inspected; no duration is asserted here. |
Microsoft Clarity (project z5o1vzh5h8) | Session replay and heatmaps; clarity.ms hosts load by default. Reject disables it. Microsoft may use Bing domains for cookie synchronization where allowed by the browser and the site's security policy. | Microsoft documents first-party cookies for visitor and session IDs and third-party cookies for identification, fraud prevention and advertising synchronization. See the full provider cookie list; availability varies by browser. | Provider-managed. See the linked Microsoft documentation; no unverified project-specific retention duration is claimed. |
Adsterra (publisher 3403020, website 6161690) | NativeBanner_1 (unit 31997301) and SocialBar_1 (unit 31997302) request bicea.org by default. Reject disables both. Closing the bar hides that unit for 180 days. | The ad provider may use cookies and request creative resources. The exact ad-cookie names and their lifetimes were not confirmed and are not guessed here. | Provider-managed; exact retention has not been verified. See Adsterra's privacy policy. |
| YouTube (Google) | Click-to-load trailer using the YouTube privacy-enhanced player. The poster image is served by this site. No player iframe loads before a click; pressing Play requests Google's player and may request its media and image hosts. | The player may use browser storage and Google cookies once opened. No specific cookie is asserted as observed. | Managed by Google. Reject removes an open player; pressing Play again is a new request to load it. |
| Cloudflare | DNS, HTTPS and security at the site's hosting layer; also used by some third-party infrastructure. | Cloudflare may set security cookies when bot protection requires them. No Cloudflare cookie is asserted as observed on this local, pre-deployment site. | Cloudflare documents a 30-minute inactivity expiry for __cf_bm; see its cookie documentation. |
Local storage on this site
| Key | Where | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
| hs3_consent | localStorage | Your Accept or Reject choice, plus its expiry timestamp. | 180 days |
| hs3_socialbar_closed | localStorage | Remembers that you closed the Adsterra Social Bar so it does not return on the next page view. | 180 days |
Google Consent Mode v2 initializes before Analytics configuration: analytics_storage is granted, while ad_storage, ad_user_data and ad_personalization default to denied. ads_data_redaction is enabled. Our first-visit choice then updates those signals to granted unless Global Privacy Control applies or a saved Reject exists. Reject sends denied signals, disables Analytics and reloads without Analytics, Clarity or Adsterra. Already sent requests cannot be recalled, and Reject does not erase cookies held by other sites.
Your choices and contact
Use Cookie settings in the footer to reopen the banner, then Reject to stop optional integrations or Accept to enable them. This site's default-on behavior is described above; a notice is not a record of an affirmative click. Cloudflare security processing continues as needed to deliver the site. We do not sell personal data. Questions about collection, access or deletion can be sent to the domain mailbox below.
To opt out of personalized advertising across sites, use Google Ads Settings, the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out, or Your Online Choices in the EU. Adsterra and Google also publish their own opt-out routes. These links do not remove ads; they limit personalization.
You can ask what we hold, ask for a copy or deletion, or object to processing by emailing [email protected]. We keep the page content and, if you write to us, that message. We review requests sent to that address. If you are in the EEA or the UK, you may also complain to your local data protection authority.
Changes and older paths
We change this policy by editing this page and its date. Older paths /privacy-policy/, /cookie-policy/ and /cookies/ redirect here. If a new third party is added, this page is updated in the same change as the script.
Questions
Do the analytics and ad scripts load before I click Accept?
Yes. Analytics, replay and ads load by default. Reject reloads without them and is remembered for 180 days; Accept keeps them on. Global Privacy Control is treated as Reject. YouTube loads only when Play is pressed.
Can I close the bottom ad bar?
Yes. The × button on the Adsterra Social Bar stores hs3_socialbar_closed for 180 days, and the bar stays closed on later pages in this browser.
