Privacy Policy

Gamedō ("we," "us," or "our") operates the website gamedo.live. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and what choices you have.

Information We Collect

Automatically Collected Data

When you visit our site, we automatically collect certain technical information through cookies and similar technologies:

• Usage data. Pages visited, time spent on pages, referring URLs, and click patterns
• Device data. Browser type, operating system, screen resolution, and language preference
• Network data. IP address (anonymized) and approximate geographic location (country/region level)

Information You Provide

If you contact us via email, we collect your email address and the content of your message. We do not operate user accounts, forums, or comment systems. We do not collect passwords, payment information, or personal identification numbers.

How We Use Your Information

We use collected data to:

• Understand which content resonates with our audience and improve our editorial coverage
• Monitor site performance and fix technical issues
• Analyze traffic patterns to make informed decisions about site structure
• Respond to emails and feedback you send us

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We do not build user profiles for targeted advertising beyond what our advertising partners do through their own cookies (see below).

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Cloudflare Web Analytics

We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to measure overall site traffic. This analytics service is cookie-free and does not collect personal data. It provides aggregate metrics (page views, visits, referrers) without tracking individual visitors. Cloudflare Web Analytics loads for all visitors regardless of consent preferences. Learn more in Cloudflare's Web Analytics documentation.

Google Analytics (GA4)

We use Google Analytics 4 with Consent Mode v2 to understand how visitors interact with our site. GA4 loads for all visitors, but its behavior depends on your consent status. When consent is not granted, GA4 operates in a cookieless mode that sends anonymized, modeled data without storing cookies. When consent is granted, GA4 collects standard analytics data including page views, session duration, and traffic sources. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Google AdSense

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements. AdSense only loads after you grant consent for advertising cookies. AdSense may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies is governed by their advertising policies. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.

Geo-Based Consent

We use a geo-detection approach to tailor our consent experience to your region's privacy laws. Visitors from the EU/EEA and the UK see an opt-in cookie banner and must actively consent before analytics cookies or advertising scripts are activated. Visitors from other regions, where no equivalent opt-in requirement exists, have analytics and advertising enabled by default. You can change your preference at any time by clearing your browser's local storage for this site, which will reset your consent choice.

Essential Cookies

We use essential cookies for basic site functionality:

• Language preference. Remembers your choice of English or French.

These cookies are necessary for the site to function properly and do not require consent.

Third-Party Services

Our site integrates with the following third-party services:

• Cloudflare. Our hosting provider. Cloudflare may collect limited technical data for security and performance purposes. See Cloudflare's privacy policy.
• Google Fonts. We load fonts from Google's servers. Google may log font requests. See Google Fonts privacy FAQ.
• Steam (Valve). Game data (titles, prices, images, ratings) is sourced from the Steam Web API. We do not send your personal data to Steam.

Affiliate Links

Some links on our site are affiliate links. When you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. Affiliate partners may use their own cookies to track referrals. We clearly mark affiliate relationships where applicable. Our editorial content is independent of affiliate partnerships and not influenced by commission potential.

Data Retention

Analytics data is retained according to Google Analytics' default retention settings (14 months). Email correspondence is kept for as long as needed to address your inquiry, then deleted. We do not maintain databases of personal user information.

Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Request correction or deletion of your data
• Object to or restrict processing of your data
• Withdraw consent for non-essential cookies

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at contact@gamedostudio.com. We will respond within 30 days.

Children's Privacy

Our site is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
