SITE RECORD // PRIVACY
Privacy Policy
Effective: August 30, 2026
Scope
This policy explains how OreFactoryGuide.com handles information when you browse the site, follow an external link, or send a correction report. The site does not offer user accounts, purchases, newsletter signup, or an on-site contact form.
Information processed during a visit
OreFactoryGuide.com is delivered through Cloudflare. As part of delivering and protecting the site, infrastructure providers may process technical request information such as IP address, date and time, requested URL, referrer, browser or user-agent details, approximate location, and security signals.
Cloudflare Web Analytics may provide the site operator with aggregated measurements such as page views, visits, referrers, countries, devices, and browsers. These measurements are used to understand whether guides are being reached and to diagnose site problems.
Google Analytics 4 is also used to measure page use after the consent controls described below are applied. Its default measurements can include page URLs, approximate location, browser and device information, sessions, and interaction events.
Adsterra may process technical request information when a Banner is loaded under the global default and preference controls described below.
Google Analytics and your preference
The site uses Google Analytics 4 with measurement ID G-C33KDB0PF0. Analytics storage, advertising storage, advertising user data, and advertising personalization are denied by default. Google Signals and advertising-personalization signals are disabled.
Before you allow analytics, the Google tag may send consent-state and cookieless measurement signals to Google, but it is instructed not to read or write Google Analytics cookies. If you select Analytics and save your choices, Google Analytics may set first-party identifiers such as _ga to distinguish browsers and sessions. It also measures clicks from this site to the official Steam store and demo listings so we can evaluate whether guides lead readers to a relevant next step. Declining all optional processing keeps analytics storage denied, prevents those Steam click events, and removes accessible Google Analytics cookies on this domain.
Your analytics choice is stored in this browser under ofg_analytics_consent so it can be applied on later pages. Google advertising storage, advertising user data, and advertising personalization remain denied regardless of this choice.
Adsterra Banner advertising and your preference
OreFactoryGuide.com uses Adsterra only for clearly labelled Banner placements. The configured sizes are 320×50, 728×90, 468×60, 300×250, and 160×300. The homepage contains at most two placements; eligible guide pages use content-length limits of at most four placements on larger screens and three on smaller screens. Short or site-information pages may contain fewer or no ads. The site does not enable Popunder, Social Bar, Smartlink, Native Banner, interstitial, adult, or Anti-Adblock advertising formats.
Banner advertising may load by default for visitors in all regions, including Europe and the United Kingdom. This site does not use a visitor's detected country or continent to delay Adsterra loading. The global policy value is returned by this site's Cloudflare edge and can disable advertising site-wide without a deployment.
The site honors an enabled Global Privacy Control signal by keeping Adsterra off. Your explicit advertising choice is stored in this browser under ofg_advertising_consent; an explicit refusal overrides the global default. You can reopen Privacy preferences from this page at any time.
If loaded, Adsterra and its advertising partners may process information such as IP address, browser or device details, page and referrer information, ad delivery events, and identifiers or cookies according to their own policies. On mobile and desktop devices, the approved Adsterra Banner code is embedded directly in the page body without an additional site-owned iframe. The provider's Banner format may create its own iframe, and its code is not protected by a local sandbox wrapper. Advertising can be disabled site-wide without changing a visitor's stored preference. You can review Adsterra's privacy policy and cookie policy.
Correction reports and external services
The Contact & Corrections page links to a public GitHub issue tracker. Information submitted there is provided to GitHub and may be publicly visible. Do not include private account details, personal contact information, or sensitive files in a report.
Guide pages also link to external websites such as official game pages, Steam, community resources, and source material. Those services operate under their own privacy policies. OreFactoryGuide.com does not control their data practices.
How information is used
- deliver pages and site assets;
- protect the site from abuse and malicious traffic;
- measure aggregate traffic and find broken or underused pages;
- serve and measure Banner advertising under global default and preference controls;
- investigate technical errors;
- review corrections, attribution concerns, and policy questions.
Retention and control
Technical, analytics, and advertising data is retained according to the site's Cloudflare and Google Analytics configuration and each service provider's operating requirements. Adsterra and its advertising partners apply their own retention practices to information processed after a Banner is loaded. Public GitHub reports remain subject to GitHub's controls and retention practices.
Because the site has no user accounts or local profile database, it does not maintain a visitor profile that you can edit on this site. You can use browser controls to limit referrer information, clear local browser data, or block optional resources.
Questions or policy concerns
For a policy question that does not require sharing personal information, use the public channel described on the Contact page. Never post sensitive data in a public issue.
