Privacy
Privacy and analytics
This independent wiki keeps basic traffic measurement on by default so we can see which guides are useful. Optional interaction analytics only loads after an explicit Allow. You can allow, deny or withdraw both choices on this page.
What this site does not collect
The wiki has no accounts, login, payment flow, newsletter or comment system. Its pages do not ask you to submit a name, email address or private file.
Links to Steam, Nintendo, Google Play, itch.io and other services take you to those services. Their own privacy policies apply after you leave this site.
Google Analytics 4
We use Google Analytics 4 to measure page views, referrers, approximate location, device and browser details, and aggregate use of the guides. The measurement ID for this site is stored in its public source code; public measurement IDs are not credentials.
Without a saved denial or a browser privacy signal, the basic Analytics setting is granted when you first visit. With a denial, or with Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track, Analytics storage is denied. The site does not use Google advertising, remarketing or ad personalization, so ad storage and the two ad-personalization consent settings remain denied.
Google may place first-party Analytics cookies such as _ga and _gid. Their lifetime is controlled by the provider and cookie settings; the site does not store a separate profile. See Google’s privacy policy for how Google processes Analytics data.
PVUV interaction analytics (optional)
PVUV.ai is a separate analytics service. Its script is not loaded on a normal first visit. It loads only after you press Allow and the browser has no Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track signal.
When enabled, PVUV may record page views, time and scroll depth, outbound clicks, basic web-performance measurements, form interaction events and JavaScript errors. We turn off its device sensors, download tracking, exit-intent tracking and ad-block detection. Do not use the site’s search or other fields to enter personal or confidential information.
PVUV may store a first-party visitor identifier in cookies or localStorage. Its public documentation describes a visitor cookie lifetime of about 13 months and says localStorage identifiers may remain until they are cleared. PVUV does not receive a name, email address or account identity from this site.
Consent, storage and withdrawal
The choice is saved in this browser’s localStorage for up to 180 days. Reloading pages or browsing the wiki does not extend that period. When it expires, the normal default applies again: basic Google Analytics on, PVUV off.
Deny or withdraw updates Google’s consent state immediately, removes this site’s Google Analytics cookies, clears the PVUV visitor identifiers and reloads the page without loading PVUV again. Allow records your choice and reloads the page so PVUV can start cleanly. Clearing site data in your browser resets the choice and does not mean that a denial is still saved.
Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track are checked before either service starts and take priority over a previously allowed choice. If a privacy signal is active, the Allow button is disabled on this page.
Hosting and security
The site is served by Cloudflare Pages. Cloudflare may process request metadata such as IP address, requested URL, user agent and security events to deliver the site and protect it from abuse. This processing is separate from the analytics services described above.
This page describes the analytics configuration used by the public Scritchy Scratchy wiki. It does not cover third-party sites reached through external links.
