Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 11, 2026

Data we collect from you

None that identifies you. Concretely:

• There is no account system, so we hold no names, emails or passwords.
• There are no forms on the site — nothing to fill in, nothing submitted to us.
• There is no newsletter, so we hold no mailing list.
• Our own measurement is aggregate: cookieless page-view counts (Cloudflare Web Analytics) and anonymous click counts on affiliate links. Neither builds a profile of your visit.
• Third-party analytics and advertising tags (see Third parties) may use cookies and online identifiers where allowed. That data is collected by those providers; we see it only as aggregated reports.

If you email us at contact@rigcrate.com, we obviously receive your message and your address. We use it to reply to you and nothing else.

Data processed automatically

Like any website, RigCrate is served by a hosting provider that processes technical connection data (IP address, browser type, requested page, timestamp) to deliver pages and protect the service against abuse. This is handled by our host, Cloudflare, under its own terms. It is necessary for the site to work at all, and it is not used by us to identify or profile visitors.

Affiliate links

Some articles contain affiliate links to retailers such as Amazon and GOG. If you click one and buy something, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.

What this means for your data: we do not receive your name, your address, your payment details, or a list of what you bought. Retailers report aggregate commission totals to us, not individual customers. Once you land on the retailer's site you are subject to their privacy policy, not ours.

Some of our links pass through a redirect on our own domain (addresses starting /go/). That redirect exists so we can change a destination without editing every article; it does not identify you.

We count clicks on affiliate links and on our own promotional banners. When you click one, we record the date, the page you were on, the destination, the country reported by our host, whether the device is mobile or desktop, and the campaign parameters of the address you arrived on (for example utm_source). We do not record your IP address, your full browser signature, or any identifier that could link two clicks to the same person. We use these counts to know which pages and retailers earn their keep.

Free-game offers. Some buttons send you to a game publisher's installer through our partner network (AF Booster). For those clicks we also create a random click reference, used once, and pass it to the partner with the page and button position, so that the partner can tell us, without naming you, when the game was installed and the commission it paid. If you arrived from one of our Google or Meta ads and advertising is allowed for you (see Your privacy choices), we keep that ad's click identifier (gclid or fbclid) with the click, and, if you accepted analytics, your Google Analytics client ID, so the install can be reported back to the ad platform that brought you. These identifiers are deleted after 90 days.

Visit reference. Where advertising measurement is allowed for you (see Your privacy choices), we also give your browser a random visitor reference (rc-vid). With it we record which of our game pages you viewed, whether you read them, used the PC check or watched a trailer, your country and whether you were on Windows, Mac or mobile — never your name, email or IP address. It lets us see which games and pages lead to installs and build advertising audiences of people interested in a game. Decline, and no reference is created; your page views are then only counted. The reference is erased from our records after 90 days.

Third parties

• Cloudflare — hosting and delivery. Processes connection data as described above.
• Cloudflare Turnstile — a human check that runs in the background on pages with a game link, so robots cannot reach our partners' offers. Cloudflare processes technical browser signals and your IP address for this check only. Passing it sets a security cookie (rc_hv) that holds no identifier.
• Cloudflare Web Analytics — counts page views and visits. It is a cookieless, privacy-first script from our host: no cookie, no fingerprinting, no cross-site tracking, no individual visitor profile. We see aggregate numbers only (pages, countries, browsers).
• Google Fonts — serves the typefaces. Google receives your IP address as part of that request.
• YouTube — only on articles with an embedded video, in privacy-enhanced mode. Nothing is stored unless you press play.
• Google (Tag Manager, Analytics 4, Google Ads) — measures visits and attributes them to the Google Ads campaigns we pay for, under Google Consent Mode.
• Microsoft Clarity — records how pages are used (scrolling, mouse movement, clicks) so we can see where a page is unclear and fix it, and builds aggregate heatmaps. Text you could type is masked, and recordings are kept by Microsoft for 30 days. It loads only where advertising measurement is allowed for you: in the EU, the UK and Switzerland only if you accept, elsewhere unless you decline (a Global Privacy Control signal counts as declining).
• Meta Platforms (Facebook, Instagram) — measures page views and clicks on offer links coming from our Facebook and Instagram ads, through the Meta pixel and, for offer clicks and for pages read for at least 30 seconds, Meta's Conversions API from our server (IP address, browser signature and Meta cookie identifiers, never stored by us).

We do not sell data for money. Sending offer-click and engaged-reading events to Meta so it can measure and optimise our ads may count as "sharing" under some US state laws (for example California's). You can opt out at any time in Your privacy choices, and we honour the Global Privacy Control signal of your browser as an opt-out.

Advertising audiences (remarketing)

We use Google Ads remarketing and the advertising features of Google Analytics (audiences, Google signals, demographics and interests reports). In practice: if advertising is allowed for you, Google may later show you RigCrate ads on other sites, on YouTube or in Google Search because you visited one of our game pages, sent a page to your PC, or clicked a game offer. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies and, for people signed in to a Google account with ad personalisation turned on, its own account data to show those ads across devices. We never receive your identity; we see audience sizes only.

How to say no: in the EU, the UK and Switzerland this only happens if you accept advertising; elsewhere you can decline at any time in Your privacy choices (we also honour the Global Privacy Control signal). You can also turn off personalised ads for your whole Google account in My Ad Center, or opt out of many third-party vendors at aboutads.info.

If this changes

Whenever we add or change a measurement or advertising tool, this policy and the Cookie Policy are updated before the change goes live. We would rather tell you what the site does today than describe a site we do not yet run.

Your rights

Under the GDPR and comparable laws you have the right to access, correct, delete and port your personal data, to object to processing, and to lodge a complaint with your national data protection authority. In practice, since we hold no personal data about visitors, there is usually nothing for us to retrieve or delete — but if you have emailed us and want that correspondence removed, write to contact@rigcrate.com and we will delete it.

Children

RigCrate is not directed at children under 16 and we knowingly collect no data from them.

Data controller

Contact for any privacy question: contact@rigcrate.com. Full publisher identity is set out in our Legal Notice.
