Privacy policy
Endfield Codex is a static fan site. We have deliberately kept the privacy story as short and dull as possible: visits are counted in aggregate by two tools, Google Analytics 4 and Cloudflare Web Analytics, and those totals are all we look at. No accounts, no comments, no contact forms, no newsletter.
What we collect
No server-side data store, no account system, no login, no comment box, no contact form, no newsletter signup. The site is served as static files through Cloudflare, and our own server keeps no access logs. To get a rough picture of traffic we use two tools. Google Analytics 4 (GA4) gives us aggregate page-view stats — visitor counts, country-level geography, referrers, browsers. Cloudflare Web Analytics, which Cloudflare adds to every page automatically, shows how often each page is opened and how quickly it loads. We only read the aggregated reports and make no attempt to identify individual visitors.
What is stored in your browser
A couple of site preferences are stored in your browser's localStorage so the page can pick up where you left off: (1) the gacha simulator pull state, and (2) whether you dismissed the language-suggestion banner. Neither leaves your device. You can clear them any time from your browser settings, and you do not need to give us any information for any feature on the site to work.
Third-party requests your browser may make
When you load a page, your browser makes a few outside requests: (1) Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com / fonts.gstatic.com) to download the typefaces this site uses, (2) Google Analytics (googletagmanager.com / google-analytics.com) which we use to count page views, and (3) the Cloudflare Web Analytics script from static.cloudflareinsights.com, which sends page-load timing back through a path on this domain. All of them receive standard request metadata (IP, browser, referrer). On top of that, every request passes through Cloudflare first, so Cloudflare handles your IP address and the URL you asked for in order to deliver the page; that handling falls under its own privacy policy (https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/). If this matters to you, you can block the Google and cloudflareinsights domains via uBlock Origin / Privacy Badger / your hosts file — the site remains fully functional without them.
Cookies
We do not set any first-party cookies of our own. Google Analytics 4 sets _ga and _ga_XRHY1L8E4R cookies in your browser to distinguish unique visitors over time. They hold a randomly generated visitor ID, not your name or email. You can clear them any time via browser settings, or block them entirely via an ad-blocker. Cloudflare Web Analytics counts visits without cookies or any other browser storage, and Cloudflare says it does not build a fingerprint of your device either. Google Fonts does not set cookies for font requests.
Children
This site is not directed at children under 13. We never ask anyone for a name, email or other personal details, whatever their age.
Updates to this policy
If we ever start collecting anything beyond what is described here (we have no current plan to), this page will be updated and the date below will change. Your continued use of the site after that change means you accept the new terms.
