Cookie Policy

1. What cookies are

Cookies and similar technologies are small files or browser storage entries used to remember choices, measure site performance, protect site operations, or support third-party services.

The Freak Circus Guide is an independent fan-made guide. Reading our walkthroughs does not require an account, payment, or user profile.

2. Necessary and preference cookies

Some cookies or local browser storage may be used to keep the site usable, remember cookie-consent choices, preserve lightweight quiz or vote state, and prevent the same notice from showing repeatedly.

These technologies are limited to site operation and user experience; they do not make this website an official game service.

3. Analytics cookies

We may use analytics tools to understand page views, navigation patterns, device categories, and technical performance so we can improve guides and fix broken pages.

Analytics reports are used in aggregate. We do not ask visitors to submit walkthrough answers, private messages, payment data, or sensitive personal information to read guide pages.

4. Advertising cookies

If advertising is enabled, Google AdSense and advertising partners may use cookies or similar technologies to serve, limit, measure, and improve ads.

You can learn how Google uses data from partner sites at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites and manage ad personalization through your Google account, browser settings, or regional consent controls where available.

5. Third-party embeds and links

This site links to or embeds third-party services such as official itch.io pages, video platforms, analytics providers, advertising providers, and community resources.

Those third parties control their own cookies and privacy practices. When you open an external link or interact with embedded content, their policies apply.

6. Your choices

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, use privacy extensions, or avoid third-party embedded content if you do not want those technologies to run.

Blocking some cookies may affect consent notices, embedded content, analytics accuracy, advertising behavior, or lightweight interactive features.

7. Changes to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when site features, analytics, advertising, consent tools, or legal requirements change. The latest version will be posted on this page with an updated date.
