Privacy & advertising

This policy covers Probably Stolen Wiki at probablystolen.gamewikistation.com, operated as part of GameWikiStation. Last updated: September 16, 2026.

Reading the wiki

You do not need an account to read this wiki. Cloudflare hosts the site and processes connection information, such as your IP address and request details, to deliver pages and protect the service. See Cloudflare’s privacy policy.

The wiki uses browser storage for preferences such as the selected theme. Clearing site data in your browser resets stored preferences. Links to external sites take you to services with their own privacy policies.

Traffic measurement

We count visible browser pageviews, the first interaction with each simulator per pageview, and clicks to GitHub Sponsors. Country is estimated by Cloudflare from the connection. We do not store IP addresses, full referrers, URL queries, simulator inputs or comment text in these statistics. Anonymous counts do not use cookies or a persistent browser identifier.

In the footer’s Traffic measurement settings, you can turn off counting or opt in to remembering this browser for 90 days. Only opt-in measurement saves a random identifier in local storage and sends it with future events. Returning browsers are those seen on an earlier UTC date within the retained history; this is a sample of consenting browsers, not a count of all people. Turning this option off removes the browser identifier and stops future linking. Previous records expire through daily deletion after 90 days. The identifier expires after 90 days too. Opt-out preferences stay until you change them or clear site data. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control disable measurement. Blocking storage does not prevent anonymous counting; blocking the script or requests prevents counting.

Support

The support page uses the same public comment service described above. GitHub Sponsors handles any sponsorship payments under its own policies. We count outbound clicks, not completed donations, and receive no card details through this wiki.

Guide comments

If you post a guide comment, your display name, comment, and posting time are stored in Cloudflare D1 and displayed publicly. All five language versions share the same discussion. No account or email is required. Names are unverified, and moderators can hide or delete comments.

Cloudflare Turnstile checks comment submissions to help prevent spam, and the service uses your IP address for rate limiting. The comments database and application logs do not store IP addresses or Turnstile tokens. Cloudflare may process connection and security data under its own privacy policy. Please do not post private information in comments.

Advertising

We are preparing Google AdSense advertising. Ad serving stays disabled until account approval and consent setup are complete. When enabled, eligible pages may show two labelled in-page ads and a dismissible bottom banner. Home portals, About, this privacy page, and error pages do not display ads.

When ads are enabled, Google and its advertising partners may collect or receive information including IP addresses, browser and device information, page URLs, and ad interactions. They may use cookies, web beacons, or similar technologies to serve, measure, and protect ads. Google’s advertising cookies can enable Google and its partners to serve ads based on visits to this and other sites. Personalization depends on your choices and the applicable consent requirements.

Read how Google uses information from sites that use its services and Google’s privacy policy.

Your choices

When advertising is enabled, Google’s Privacy & messaging system presents applicable regional consent or opt-out controls. Where consent is requested, you can accept, decline, or manage your choices. You can continue reading the wiki after declining personalized advertising; other permitted ads may still appear.

On pages with advertising, the footer’s Privacy & cookie settings button appears when Google’s European consent controls are available. Use it to revisit or withdraw your consent. Where applicable, Google’s US state regulations message provides a Do Not Sell or Share link. If a blocker prevents these controls from loading, they may be unavailable.

You can also manage Google ad personalization in My Ad Center, visit AboutAds choices for participating third-party advertisers, or manage cookies and site data in your browser. These controls have different scopes; deleting cookies can remove saved consent choices.
