Privacy & cookies
iGamer is an independent, non-promotional knowledge portal. We collect as little as possible, we never sell your data, and we do not carry advertising or affiliate tracking. Cookies that are not strictly necessary run only after you have said yes.
What we collect
Browsing iGamer does not require an account, and we do not ask for personal details to read the site. We use two categories of cookie, and nothing else:
- Essential cookies — strictly necessary to run the site: they remember your light/dark theme choice and your cookie-consent decision. These carry no analytics and are set on a legal basis of legitimate interest (the site cannot function correctly without them), so they do not require consent.
- Analytics cookies — set only if you consent. They let us understand, in aggregate, how the portal is used: which pages and glossary terms are read, what people search for, and the paths they take through the site. We use this to decide what to build and fix next. The legal basis is your consent, which you can withdraw at any time.
Analytics
When you consent to analytics, we use PostHog as our analytics processor, configured to ingest data in the European Union. It records anonymised product-usage events (page views, searches, clicks and navigation paths) to give us the behavioural picture we need to improve the portal. We do not use it to build advertising profiles, and we do not combine it with data from other sites.
No analytics cookies are set, and no usage data is collected, until you choose “Accept all” (or enable Analytics under Preferences). Choose “Reject non-essential” and only the two essential cookies above are used.
What we never do
- We do not sell, rent, or share your data with data brokers.
- We carry no operator advertising, affiliate links, or ad-network tracking.
- We do not track you across other websites, and we set no third-party advertising cookies.
- We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18 — this is an adult (18+) site.
Your choices & rights
You are in control of analytics. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time using — this reopens the cookie panel so you can turn analytics off (or on). Clearing your browser cookies also resets your choice, and we will ask again.
If you are in the EU/EEA or the UK, you have the right to access, correct, or erase personal data we hold, to object to or restrict processing, and to lodge a complaint with your data-protection authority. Because we store no account or contact data, most requests concern the anonymised analytics record only; a dedicated privacy contact channel is being set up and will be listed here.
Hosting & transfers
The site is delivered through Cloudflare, which routes traffic and provides TLS and security; Cloudflare may process technical connection data (such as IP address) to deliver and protect the site. Analytics data, when enabled, is processed by PostHog in the EU. We keep analytics data only as long as it is useful for product decisions and review retention periodically.
Changes to this notice
As the portal grows we will keep this page current — including naming any new processor before it goes live and re-asking for consent if what we collect materially changes. The “last updated” date at the top always reflects the current version.
Note: this notice describes how iGamer itself works. It is not legal advice, and it does not cover any external site we link to — those have their own policies.
