Privacy Policy

This site stores a single preference in localStorage under the key hw-consent for 180 days. It does not load advertising or analytics scripts, and it does not embed the game.

2026-10-02

I wrote this policy against the HTML we actually ship. The only inline consent call is gtag('consent','default') with ad_storage, ad_user_data, ad_personalization, and analytics_storage set to denied, plus ads_data_redaction and url_passthrough. There is no gtag('config') and no script tag pointing at an ad or analytics host, because we do not have a measurement id or a seller id.

What runs on the page

The video is a file we host. It loads only after you press play. Screenshots and the logo are files on this domain. Outbound links to Steam, Total Jerkface, Fancy Force, Apple, Google Play, Wikipedia, Fandom, Discord, speedrun.com, and Nexus Mods are ordinary links. Those sites set their own cookies after you leave. We do not place their cookies.

Item	Purpose	Retention	Basis
hw-consent in localStorage	Remember accept or reject	180 days	Your choice, so we stop asking
gtag consent default	Keep ad and analytics storage denied	This page view	No optional tags are loaded
Gameplay trailer	Play a Steam trailer we saved	Until you leave	You pressed play

Cookies

We do not set first-party cookies. The preference is localStorage, not a cookie. Cookie settings in the footer reopens the choice. Reject writes hw-consent with analytics and ads false. Accept writes both true, but does not load a tag because none is installed. Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track both override acceptance and keep optional storage off. If browser storage is disabled, the page still works but cannot remember the choice.

Hosting and contact mail

The intended hosting and domain provider is Cloudflare. Its infrastructure processes network requests, including IP addresses, as needed to deliver the site; that is not a browser advertising or analytics tag. Mail to contact@happywheels.run is forwarded by Cloudflare Email Routing to an editorial Gmail mailbox, so Cloudflare and Google process messages you choose to send. Do not include passwords or payment details. We use correction messages to investigate the report and delete them when no longer needed. No Google or Cloudflare tracking script is installed on this page.

Rights, ads opt-out, and changes

You can delete hw-consent in your browser’s site data, or email contact@happywheels.run to ask what this policy covers. We do not hold an account database, so there is no profile to export. Because we do not run personalized ads, there is no ad profile here to correct. You can still opt out of third-party ad personalization at Google’s ads settings, the DAA opt-out, and Your Online Choices. If we later add a tag, this page will name it before the tag ships, and the default will stay denied until you choose otherwise. The date at the top is the policy date.
