  • Necessary cookies: These cookies are essential for the website to function properly and cannot be disabled.
  • Analytics cookies: These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously.
  • Google Analytics 4 cookies: Google Analytics 4 (GA4) is used to measure how visitors use this site. It sets cookies such as _ga and _ga_ to distinguish a visitor from one page view to the next, and _gid to distinguish visitors within a single day. GA4 runs under Google Consent Mode v2 and is only loaded with your consent.
  • Advertising cookies: These cookies are used to deliver advertisements relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.

We use Google Consent Mode v2 to manage your cookie preferences. This allows us to respect your privacy choices while still providing you with a personalized experience. You can change your preferences at any time using the "Cookie Settings" link in the site footer.

Google and its partners use the DoubleClick cookie to serve ads and to measure ad performance. This cookie may also be used by the DART (Digital Auditing Reporting & Targeting) service to deliver advertising based on your visits to this and other websites.

Third-Party Advertising

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on our website. Google may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings.

Google AdSense uses cookies and similar technologies to:

When you visit our website, Google may collect certain information about your device and browsing behavior. This information may include your IP address, browser type, device type, and pages you visit. This data is used to show you relevant advertisements and is subject to Google's Privacy Policy.

Some of our advertising partners may use cookies and web beacons on our site. These third-party ad servers or ad networks use technology to send the advertisements and links that appear on our website directly to your browsers. They automatically receive your IP address when this occurs.

  • Object to processing of your personal information
  • Request restriction of processing your personal information

In that case GameCountdown acts as the data controller for the personal information described in this policy, and Google acts as a processor or joint controller for the advertising and analytics cookies it sets on our behalf. Our legal basis for processing is your consent for analytics and advertising cookies, which you can withdraw at any time, and our legitimate interest in operating and improving the site for the limited information described under Information We Collect.
