Privacy Policy

StrategoPlay (strategoplay.com) is a small independent site that lets you play Stratego in your browser. This page explains what is stored when you visit and what is not.

What we do not collect

We do not ask you to register, log in or give us an email address, and we do not collect payment details. There is no account system on this site, so there is nothing to delete afterwards.

What is stored in your browser

Two things, both local to your device:

• A like marker. When you press Like, a small flag is stored in your browser's local storage so the button remembers you and one visitor is not counted twice. It contains no personal information.
• Your comment name, if you type one. The name you enter next to a comment is kept so the form is easier to use next time.

You can remove both by clearing site data for this domain in your browser settings. The site keeps working exactly the same.

Comments

Comments are stored on our server together with the name you choose to type (or “Anonymous” if you leave it blank) and the time you posted. Please do not post personal information in a comment; comments are public and plain text, and links are not accepted. If you want a comment of yours removed, post a reply asking for it, or contact the site owner through the comment box, and it will be deleted.

Analytics

We use a lightweight, privacy-friendly visitor counter to see how many people visit and which pages they read. It records page views, referrer, approximate country and device type. It is used to decide whether the page works and which sections people actually read — not to build a profile of you, and it is not used for advertising. The advertising described below is separate and runs on third-party servers.

The game itself is served by this site

The board on the home page is a self-hosted build made for StrategoPlay. It loads from strategoplay.com itself inside the same page: no third-party game player or game publisher is involved, and pressing play does not pass your IP address or browser details to another company for the game.

Your formation and the state of a match exist only inside the page and disappear when you close the tab — we do not store your games or your results on the server. If you would rather not load the game at all, simply do not press the play button; nothing runs until you do.

Advertising

This site shows display ads from Adsterra (adsterra.com), a third-party advertising network, to cover hosting costs. The ads are plain banner units placed below the board, between the article and the comment section, and in a side rail on wide screens. There are no pop-ups, pop-unders or full-screen interstitials on this site.

Adsterra and the advertisers it works with may set cookies or read technical information about your device and browser, including an approximate location derived from your IP address, in order to serve an ad and measure it. We cannot read those cookies and we do not receive your personal data — we only see aggregate counts of how many ads were shown and clicked.

You can read Adsterra's own privacy policy for details and for the opt-out routes it offers. If you use a browser or extension that blocks advertising scripts, the banner space stays empty and the game still works normally.

Children

This site is a general-audience game page and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

If what we store changes, this page changes with it — the date below is the date of the last edit.
