1. Who we are
horseygame.net is an independent fan wiki for the Steam game Horsey Game (app 3602570). It is not affiliated with the game's developers or publishers. Site operator contact: support@horseygame.net or /contact.
2. What data we collect
We collect three categories of data, gated by the cookie banner that appears on your first visit:
- Necessary — A single localStorage entry (
horseygame_net_cookie_consent) records which cookie categories you accepted, and when. Required for the site to remember your choice. Cannot be disabled. - Analytics — Google Analytics 4 (property
G-71EYXZDHY5) via Google Tag Manager (containerGTM-TNHRVM9M) and Plausible (cookieless page-view counts). In the EU/EEA, the UK and Switzerland, Google Analytics cookies stay off until you opt in. Elsewhere, Google Analytics storage is on by default and you can switch it off at any time with Reject or Customize in the cookie banner (clear thehorseygame_net_cookie_consententry to see the banner again). Used to understand aggregated traffic patterns. We do not sell this data. - Marketing — Ad storage and ad personalization stay off everywhere until you opt in. Google AdSense (publisher
ca-pub-6660696930590269) shows display ads. Google may use cookies to personalize ads.
Some pages may include native tools (e.g. /tools/dna-database) that store data locally in your browser (specimen archive, cross logbook). That data never leaves your device.
3. Legal basis (GDPR)
For visitors located in the EU/EEA, we rely on your explicit consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR) for both analytics and marketing cookies. Necessary cookies rely on our legitimate interest in remembering your consent decision (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR).
4. Third-party processors
Depending on your region and cookie choices, your browser communicates with the following services. Each has its own privacy policy:
- Google Tag Manager & Analytics — policies.google.com/privacy
- Google AdSense — policies.google.com/technologies/ads
- Vercel (hosting) — vercel.com/legal/privacy-policy
5. Your rights
Under GDPR you may withdraw consent at any time, request access to your data, request deletion, or lodge a complaint with your local Data Protection Authority. To withdraw consent on this site, clear the horseygame_net_cookie_consent entry in your browser's localStorage and refresh the page — the banner will reappear. For other requests, message us via /contact.
6. Data retention
We do not maintain a user database. Cookie consent state lives in your browser (localStorage) until you clear it. Analytics and ad-network cookies follow their own retention rules — see the third-party policies above.
7. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the site evolves. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent change. Material changes (e.g. adding a new tracker) will re-prompt the cookie banner so you can reconfirm your choices.
