Who we are

This site is operated by Pudu Studio. For anything on this page, write to info@pudu.studio.

Counting without cookies

Every visit is counted on our own server. We record what happened and a coarse context — nothing that identifies you and nothing that links one visit to another:

• the event (page opened, game opened, ball dropped, download clicked, rating given)
• which page on this site it happened on, without the query string
• the interface language you are viewing
• whether the device is a phone or a desktop computer
• the country your connection appears to come from
• the site you arrived from — its hostname only, never the full address
• a short campaign tag if you arrived through one, such as a scanned QR code
• the time it happened

For these counts we do not store your IP address, and we do not set a cookie or any other identifier. Because there is no identifier, we cannot tell whether two of these visits came from the same person, and we cannot single you out. Ratings are the one exception, described next.

Ratings

A rating is only worth showing if one person cannot cast it a hundred times. So when you rate a game we store, next to your Yes or No, a short fingerprint made by hashing your IP address and browser identification together with a secret key. The IP address itself is never written down, and the fingerprint cannot be turned back into one.

It does let us recognise a second vote from the same connection and browser, which is exactly what it is for — so, unlike the counts above, this is data that relates to you, even though it does not name you. Several people sharing one network appear to us as a single voter. It is stored only for games you actually rated, and only while the rating is kept.

Cookies and local storage

Name	Purpose	Needs consent
pudu_gate, pudu_form	Remember that you passed the access check, so you are not asked again. Used only where the site is access-restricted. Expires after 30 days.	No — strictly necessary
pudu_lang	Remember the language you picked. Stored in your browser, never sent to us.	No — your own preference
pudu_consent, pudu_vote_*	Remember your cookie choice and that you already rated a game, so we do not ask twice. Stored in your browser.	No
pudu_total_drops, pudu_offer_shown, pudu_offer_dismissed	Count how much of the game you have played in the browser, so the app is offered once rather than repeatedly. Stored in your browser, never sent to us.	No
pudu_src	Remember that you arrived through a campaign or a scanned QR code, so a later download can be attributed to it. A short tag, stored in your browser.	No
Google Analytics / Google Ads	Measure how the site is used and whether an advertisement led to a download.	Yes

Google's cookies are set only after you press Accept. Until then the tag runs with all storage denied, which means no cookies are written. If you press Reject, none are written at all.

Changing your mind

Clear this site's data in your browser settings and the banner will appear again on your next visit. You can also block or delete cookies there at any time.

Who else sees data

• Cloudflare hosts this site and handles the connection. It processes request data, including your IP address, to deliver the page and protect against abuse.
• Google receives analytics and advertising data — but only if you accepted. Google may process it outside your country.

How long we keep it

The counts are stored as one row per action, each with the fields listed above and a timestamp — not as a running total. They carry no identifier, so no row can be traced to a person. We delete them once they are older than 26 months, and the deletion runs on its own rather than on request.

A rating outlives that, because it is part of what the page shows. Its fingerprint does not: after 26 months the fingerprint is overwritten, so the Yes or No stays counted while the link to a connection is gone. Data held by Google follows Google's own retention settings.

Why we are allowed to do this

• The access cookies are strictly necessary to run a restricted site, so they need no consent.
• The counts and the rating fingerprint rest on our legitimate interest in knowing whether the site works and in keeping ratings honest, kept to the minimum that serves it.
• Everything Google receives rests on your consent, and you can take that back at any time as described above.

Children

This site is not directed at children. The game is rated 18+ and we do not knowingly collect anything from anyone under that age.

Your rights

If you are in the EU, the UK, or a country with comparable law, you have the right to access, correct, delete, or object to the processing of your personal data, and to complain to your data protection authority. Write to info@pudu.studio. Note that the counts we keep contain no identifier, so we are usually unable to locate a record belonging to a particular person.

The games

The Android application is a separate product. What it collects is described in its own listing, not here.
