Privacy policy

Who

The operator of abyssion.org, reachable at [email protected]. That address is on the brand domain; Cloudflare Email Routing sends messages to the mail-hub Worker for this brand mailbox; replies use the same address.

What loads, and by default

This site uses a default-on notice, not a gate. If this browser has no stored choice, the page starts by treating you as granted and requests Google Analytics 4 and Clarity on the first page view, plus Adsterra on pages with advertising slots (privacy and contact pages have none). The banner stays on screen to tell you that, with Accept and Reject buttons. Only Reject withdraws the choice; it is remembered for 180 days. Global Privacy Control is treated as Reject.

Fonts and images are files on this site; no external font service is contacted. There is no AdSense, no popunder, no smartlink and no third advertising network on these pages. The Google tag is configured with ads_data_redaction and url_passthrough so a rejected visitor does not send an advertising identifier.

Advertising, personalisation and opt-outs

Adsterra is the only advertising network on abyssion.org. It serves a Native Banner between the article and the footer and a Social Bar fixed to the bottom-right corner. The snippets are stored as plain strings in the page; the site’s own loader creates the tags on the first page view, and Reject removes them. Adult advertising is off in the Adsterra dashboard for website 6191087, and the two units belong to this site rather than to a shared placement.

Adsterra and its advertisers may use cookie or device data to limit repetition, measure a campaign and, where the law allows, personalise a creative. To limit personalised advertising elsewhere, use Google ads settings, the Network Advertising Initiative’s opt-out page, the Digital Advertising Alliance’s opt-out page, or the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance’s Your Online Choices. Those tools do not stop advertising from appearing; they limit the use of your data for personalisation. Adsterra describes its own handling at its privacy policy.

The site publishes ads.txt with one seller line, adsterra.com, for publisher 3403020. No other seller is authorised to sell this inventory.

Google Analytics 4 and Consent Mode

The Google tag loads measurement ID G-803MX02E6H from googletagmanager.com. Consent Mode v2 defaults run in the page head before the tag is configured. Before Google config, ad_storage, ad_user_data and ad_personalization default to denied, while analytics_storage defaults to granted; ads_data_redaction is enabled. The default-on loader then updates the four signals to granted for a browser with no current withdrawal. A stored Reject, or Global Privacy Control, updates all four to denied before config.

Pressing Reject calls gtag('consent','update',…) with every signal denied and sets ads_data_redaction, so no advertising or analytics identifier is written for that visit. Reject reloads the page, and the stored withdrawal blocks the Google tag loader on that document. Pressing Accept restores the four signals. GA4 reports are aggregate; I do not join them to your email address or to any account.

Microsoft Clarity

Clarity project zbrzmle0k6 records heatmaps and, where sampling allows, session replays so I can see which layout or button failed. The tag is created by this site’s loader on the first page view, and only while the stored choice is granted. Clarity masks form inputs by default and I do not ask you to type sensitive data into this site. Reject calls Clarity’s consent API with false and reloads the page, so the saved withdrawal prevents its loader and ends the running recording.

Cookies and local storage

The site’s own state is localStorage, not cookies: abyssion_consent stores “granted” or “denied”, abyssion_consent_at stores the timestamp, and abyssion_socialbar_closed stores the time the Social Bar’s own close control was used. All three stay on this device and expire from use after 180 days.

Third parties set their own cookies only while their script is active: GA4’s _ga and _ga_803MX02E6H, Clarity’s _clck and _clsk, Adsterra’s creative-specific frequency and advertising cookies, and Cloudflare’s __cf_bm. YouTube can set cookies after you press a video button. Following the external game link leaves this site and its privacy notice applies there. You can remove all of them through your browser’s site-data controls; the site’s Cookie settings only changes the local choice.

Legal basis

The banner describes the default-on loading of Adsterra, Google Analytics 4 and Microsoft Clarity. Its Accept and Reject controls record your choice for 180 days. Absence of a stored choice is a technical loading default, rather than evidence that you have actively agreed. Storing a withdrawal record lets the site honour your request.

Serving the pages through Cloudflare, keeping the site secure, and answering a message you send rest on the legitimate interest of operating the site (Article 6(1)(f)) and, for correspondence, on taking steps at your request (Article 6(1)(b)). I do not use your message for marketing.

Retention

Retention is specific: abyssion_consent, abyssion_consent_at and abyssion_socialbar_closed for 180 days; Adsterra’s creative-specific cookies and server records according to its privacy policy; a fixed lifetime has not been independently confirmed; Clarity recordings normally up to 30 days and aggregated heatmaps per Microsoft’s retention setting, with cookie retention described in Microsoft’s cookie list; GA4’s _ga and _ga_803MX02E6H for up to 2 years, with event data kept for the property’s 2–14 month retention setting; Cloudflare’s __cf_bm for about 30 minutes. Contact mail is kept only as long as the thread needs a reply and any legal obligation requires.

Your rights and how to use them

You can ask for access, correction, deletion, restriction, or a copy of the data, and you can object to processing based on legitimate interest. Write to [email protected]; I reply from that address. You can also complain to your local data-protection authority.

To withdraw advertising and analytics consent, press Reject in the banner or reopen Cookie settings in the footer and press Reject. Reject saves the withdrawal and reloads the document to stop already-running ad and replay scripts; it cannot recall data already transmitted. Clearing this site’s browser data removes every local record described above.
