Privacy
This website
peatstack.co.uk sets no cookies and has no forms. It loads nothing from anyone else: the font, the images and the video all come from this site.
Page views
The site counts page views, anonymously, so Peatstack can see which pages are read and where visitors come from. For each page view it keeps only:
- the day (not the time)
- which page of this site
- the site that linked to it, as a domain name only (for example itch.io), or "direct"; never the full address of the page you came from
- phone or computer, worked out in your browser from the screen type (a touch screen counts as a phone)
No cookies, no IP addresses, no ids, and nothing that could link one page view to another or to you. The count goes to this site's own server, not to any third party, and is kept for 13 months, then deleted. If your browser sends Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control, nothing is counted at all.
Hosting
The site is hosted on Cloudflare. Like any web host, Cloudflare handles your IP address to send you the pages. Peatstack has visitor logging turned off.
Links to itch.io, Newgrounds, GX.games, Discord and social media take you to those sites, which have their own privacy policies.
The Wee Pier
The game's anonymous play stats, what they include and how to turn them off are covered in the game's privacy note.
Clach
Clach sends anonymous play stats: numbers about how you play (sessions, the stones you raise, your crew, a few settings, how long the game took to load), tied to a random id made on your device. Never your name, an account, your IP address, cookies or anything you type. Whether it sends depends on where you play:
- On clach.peatstack.co.uk the game asks first. Nothing is sent and no id is made until you say Yes. No is kept, and it doesn't ask again.
- On itch.io the stats are on, with a note saying so the first time and a Turn off button.
- In a copy of the web game anywhere else, nothing is sent.
You can change it at any time in the game: Settings, Play stats, Share anonymous play stats. The stats go to Clach's own collector on Cloudflare, kept apart from The Wee Pier's, only Peatstack sees them, and they are deleted 13 months after they arrive. The full list of what is sent is in Clach's privacy note.
