Privacy at Arcade Junkies

Updated October 15, 2026. Arcade Junkies is an independent publication at arcade-junkies.com. Contact hello@arcade-junkies.com about this page or a data question.

Browsing and hosting

Your browser requests pages, images and locally hosted fonts from this site. The hosting service receives the network information needed to deliver them, such as an IP address and request details. This version does not load third-party font services, advertising scripts or embedded video players.

Measurement tools and search

The layout and fit tools calculate in your browser. The site does not send the dimensions you enter to a server. Entries remain in the open page until you reset, reload or leave it. The SVG download creates a file from the current layout in your browser; it does not upload a copy.

Site search uses the site's own search index and script. It is not a third-party search widget. There is no account, email gate or saved customer profile for search or tools.

Consent and analytics

The page loads the site's own consent.js script. It requests /api/geo to choose the applicable consent interface. It can store a consent choice in localStorage under site-consent. A region lookup can fail without preventing the page or tools from working.

No Google Analytics measurement ID is configured in this version. The consent script therefore loads no Google Analytics tag. It contains a consent-controlled analytics loader for a configured ID; this page must be updated if that setup changes.

Commercial-link measurement

The site's own clicks.js script can keep campaign labels from the page address in sessionStorage under click-utm. That storage lasts for the tab's session. It listens for links marked as sponsored and, when one is clicked, sends the offer identifier, page path and any stored campaign labels to /api/click.

Product reviews and comparisons contain sponsored Amazon purchase links. Clicking one can send the event described above. Ordinary source citations and internal guide links are not marked sponsored. Product cards use a text-only state when product imagery is unavailable. The site does not embed a merchant shopping widget.

Email and forms

There are no contact forms, subscriptions or lead magnets on the site. A shared local form-guard script is present in the page template, but no form invokes it here. There is no Turnstile widget configured. If you choose to email us, your email service sends the message and we receive what you include. Send only the details needed to answer your question.

Your choices

You can clear this site's localStorage and sessionStorage through your browser's site-data controls. Reloading a tool clears its current inputs. Browser controls can also block scripts; source records and manual worksheet instructions remain readable without JavaScript. A displayed consent choice applies to the consent script's analytics loader.

For a privacy question, email the publication. Describe the request without sending sensitive identity documents. We will explain what information is relevant to the request. Changes to the site's actual scripts or data handling should be reflected here with a new update date.
