What this site actually loads
Privacy policy
This policy matches the scripts on the page. Analytics, session replay and ads start on the first view; Reject turns them off and is remembered for 180 days.
Who operates the site
The site at thronefall.app is an independent guide. The contact point is [email protected]. Mythwright, Grizzly Games, and Doghowl Games do not operate this site and do not receive your messages unless you write to them yourself.
The site is served through Cloudflare, which processes the request and may keep short-lived security logs. Cloudflare does not receive your consent choice from this site.
What loads by default, and how to reject
On a first visit this site loads Google Analytics 4, Microsoft Clarity and Adsterra advertising without waiting for a click. A banner tells you that and offers Accept and Reject. The banner is notice plus a withdrawal control, not a gate: choosing nothing leaves the default loading in place for that visit.
Pressing Reject stores your choice for 180 days and stops the analytics, replay and ad scripts on the next load; it also reloads the page so code that already started is terminated. Pressing Accept keeps them on and hides the banner. Cookie settings in the footer reopens the banner, so you can change the choice at any time. Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track set in the browser is treated as Reject.
Default loading does not record an explicit Accept. The site records your preference only when you choose Accept or Reject, or when your browser sends a Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track signal. Rejecting does not block access to the guide.
Cookies and local storage
The site writes consent and interface preferences in local storage, not cookies. tf_consent holds your choice, the ad and analytics state, and an expiry 180 days out. tf_socialbar_closed holds the time you closed the floating Adsterra bar, so it stays closed for 180 days instead of returning on the next refresh. The achievement checklist also stores a 1/0 completion flag under thronefall-achievement:<slug> for each item you change; these flags stay on this device until you clear the site data, have no automatic expiry, and are not sent to a server. Clearing site data for thronefall.app deletes these preferences.
Google Analytics 4 sets first-party cookies _ga and _ga_ to distinguish visitors and sessions. Microsoft Clarity sets _clck and _clsk and may set CLID and MUID; it also stores a session identifier. This site does not override Clarity's masking settings; avoid entering sensitive information into third-party ad interfaces.
Adsterra and the creative hosts it uses set advertising cookies and identifiers to cap frequency, measure a view and select a creative. Their names are chosen by the network and can change; the initial ad requests go to bicea.org, and the network may use additional creative and measurement hosts listed below. The site does not read or merge those identifiers with its own.
The current default request hosts observed on 14 November 2026 are www.googletagmanager.com and www.google-analytics.com (Google Analytics), www.clarity.ms, scripts.clarity.ms and regional collector subdomains of clarity.ms (session replay), and bicea.org (advertising). All of these stop being requested by the site after Reject reloads the page. YouTube is not requested until you press the trailer button. That click creates a frame to youtube-nocookie.com, which may then set its own cookies under Google's policy. Store links leave this site for Steam, PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo, Google, Apple, or Epic, each with its own policy.
How long data is kept
The consent record and floating-bar close preference stop being used after 180 days; the browser may retain the expired local-storage entry until it is replaced or you clear site data. Provider-side retention follows the settings and policies of Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity and Adsterra. A property-specific retention period has not been independently confirmed, so this policy does not state a numerical period for those services.
Server and security logs at Cloudflare are kept for the short period needed to run and protect the site. Email you send to the contact address is kept only as long as needed to answer it.
Third parties and your choices
Google Analytics 4 and Microsoft Clarity are provided by Google LLC and Microsoft Corporation. Adsterra ads are provided by Adsterra. Each receives the request data needed to serve its script and reports under its own privacy policy.
To opt out of personalized advertising, use Google Ads Settings at adssettings.google.com, the Digital Advertising Alliance at optout.aboutads.info, or the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance at youronlinechoices.eu. You can also block or delete cookies in the browser; rejecting on this site already stops the scripts for 180 days.
You can ask for a copy, correction or deletion of data this site holds by writing to [email protected]. Because the site keeps no account, most requests concern the consent record in your browser, which you can delete yourself. This policy changes by editing this page and its date.
Questions
Do you use cookies?
Yes. The site writes tf_consent and tf_socialbar_closed in local storage, and Google Analytics 4, Microsoft Clarity and Adsterra set cookies when their scripts load. The YouTube player is requested only after you press play.
What is tf_consent?
The local storage key that remembers Accept or Reject, and the ad and analytics state, for 180 days.
What is tf_socialbar_closed?
The local storage key that remembers you closed the floating Adsterra bar, so it stays closed for 180 days.
Do ads load before I accept?
Yes. Ads, analytics and Clarity load on the first view by default; the banner tells you and Reject turns them off for 180 days.
Do you sell data?
No. The site does not sell data or share its consent record. Adsterra pays for ad impressions under its own contract.
