What loads, and when
On a first visit with no saved choice, the page loads these four things immediately: Google Analytics 4 (measurement ID G-J0L1ES30RB), Microsoft Clarity (project z431r3w97a), Adsterra Native Banner (unit 31944236, NativeBanner_1) and Adsterra Social Bar (unit 31944237, SocialBar_1). The ad scripts come from bicea.org. The banner is a notice and a withdrawal control, not a gate: it appears after the tags start, and the page never waits for Accept.
Pressing Reject writes a denied choice, stops the Clarity and Adsterra requests on the next load, disables Google Analytics for this browser, and remembers the refusal for 180 days. Pressing Accept keeps everything on. The footer link Cookie settings reopens the notice so you can change your mind. If your browser sends Global Privacy Control, the site treats that as Reject without showing the banner first.
Google requests use www.googletagmanager.com and www.google-analytics.com. Microsoft requests use www.clarity.ms, scripts.clarity.ms and regional collection subdomains of clarity.ms. The Adsterra scripts start at bicea.org and can also request delivery hosts such as static.nresystems.com, cdn.show-creative1.com, cdn.show-sb.com and cdn.cloudpiko.com. Campaign delivery hosts can change; the site loads whatever the network returns for these units.
Consent Mode v2 is initialized before Google configuration: ad_storage, ad_user_data and ad_personalization default to denied; analytics_storage defaults to granted. ads_data_redaction and url_passthrough are enabled. With no saved refusal the page then updates the signals to granted and requests the vendors immediately, while leaving the notice visible until you choose. Reject sets all four signals to denied, disables Google Analytics and reloads. A saved Reject or Global Privacy Control is checked before the next Google configuration and prevents all three automatic vendors from being requested. This notice is not evidence of prior consent.
Cookies and localStorage keys
This site writes two localStorage keys of its own. jv_consent_v1 stores granted or denied plus an expiry timestamp; lifetime 180 days; purpose is to remember your banner choice. jv_social_closed stores the fact that you closed the Adsterra Social Bar plus a timestamp; lifetime 180 days; purpose is to keep that floating bar closed on later visits. Both are first-party, never copied to our server, and can be deleted in your browser settings. Deleting them makes the next visit use the default loading behavior again.
Google Analytics 4 measures visits and interactions. Its identifiers can include _ga and _ga_<container>. Requests include page and browser information, and a network connection exposes your IP address to the receiving service. Cookie lifetime and event retention depend on Google’s settings and policies; this page does not claim a property retention value that the release audit has not verified.
Microsoft Clarity records page views, clicks, scrolls and session replay. Its identifiers can include _clck, _clsk, CLID and MUID. Microsoft’s current cookie and retention documentation applies. The release audit verifies the project ID and loading controls; it does not claim to have verified every recording or project privacy setting.
Adsterra and its demand partners may store advertising identifiers and frequency caps. Their cookie and storage names depend on the delivered campaign. The release audit observes the advertising request hosts listed above; it does not establish a complete cookie inventory or assign unverified lifetimes to campaign identifiers. Vendor privacy policies describe their processing. Reject prevents the site from starting these advertising scripts on later loads.
YouTube is not loaded on page view. If you press play, the page creates an iframe to youtube-nocookie.com; YouTube may then set its own cookies and see your IP. Steam, Discord and other outbound links receive nothing until you follow them.
Ads, opt-outs and your rights
The configured Adsterra placements are Native Banner and Social Bar, not a popunder. Adult ads are disabled in the recorded account configuration; this is a configuration statement, not a guarantee about every creative a third-party campaign may deliver. Opt-out tools include Google Ads Settings, DAA AdChoices and Your Online Choices. Read Adsterra’s privacy policy. The Google Analytics browser add-on is another measurement control.
You can ask what this site holds about you, ask for a copy or deletion, or object to processing by writing to [email protected]. Because the site has no login, we usually hold nothing that identifies you beyond the local keys and the vendors’ aggregate reports. You also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority. We answer privacy requests within 30 days.
Your choice: vendors load before an explicit Accept, so this site does not describe that automatic loading as prior consent. Accept and Reject record your preference for 180 days. Retention: jv_consent_v1 and jv_social_closed are read as expired after 180 days. Vendor data follows each provider’s retention policy and project settings. Reject prevents future automatic vendor loading after the page reloads; it does not erase data already received or all vendor cookies.
Changes: this page is edited in the same release as the code, and the modified date in the header is the date of the policy. If a vendor is added or removed, its name and keys change here first. The contact address does not change without this page saying so.
Questions people ask
Do analytics and ads load before I click Accept?
Yes. Google Analytics 4, Microsoft Clarity and Adsterra load on the first view. The banner is a notice with Accept and Reject, not a gate. Reject turns them off for 180 days.
What exactly does Reject do?
It stores denied in jv_consent_v1 for 180 days, disables Google Analytics for this browser, removes the Clarity and Adsterra scripts, and reloads the page without them. Cookie settings in the footer reopens the notice so you can switch back.
Which localStorage keys does the site write?
jv_consent_v1 (your choice, 180 days) and jv_social_closed (the floating Adsterra bar was closed, 180 days). Both are first-party and are never sent to our server.
Does the video load YouTube immediately?
No. The youtube-nocookie iframe is created only when you press play, so no YouTube request is made on page view.
