1. Browsing & Experience (Anonymous)

You can browse our site without an account. We only use limited data required to keep the site working properly (such as layout settings and voting).

Functional Preferences

We store your preferred site layout in your browser to display the website correctly. We also automatically detect your device type (Mobile/Tablet/Desktop) when loading pages to optimize the website layout. We do not store a long-term history of your device type and we do not use this for marketing.

The Voting System

To provide our community voting feature, we use a unique anonymous identifier stored in your browser.

Purpose: To remember which posts you have voted on, show you your voting history, and help prevent abuse.
Privacy: This identifier is not used for advertising profiling and is not shared with other websites.
Control: You can clear your voting history at any time by deleting your browser cookies.

Anti-Spam Measures

We temporarily record IP addresses for up to 1 minute to block bots and vote manipulation. After 60 seconds, this data is automatically deleted.

2. Traffic & Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand general traffic patterns (for example which pages are popular and which countries our visitors come from).

We have configured analytics to be as privacy-friendly as possible:

No Advertising Profiling: We disable advertising features such as Google Signals where possible.
Aggregate Statistics: We use analytics to understand overall website usage, not to identify individual visitors.

3. Contextual Ads & Location

We show advertisements based on your general location (country level) and the content of the page you are viewing. We do not use personalized or behavioral tracking to show ads.

We use your country-level location to comply with local age-restriction laws and to block access from regions where this content is not permitted.

Your country-level location is determined using IP-based detection.

4. Age Verification & Compliance

This website is intended strictly for adults (18+ or the legal age of majority in your jurisdiction). By accessing and using this site, you confirm that you are of legal age and that viewing adult content is legal in your location.

Access Checks: We use your IP address to determine your general location (country level) to comply with local laws. This allows us to block access from regions where this content is restricted or to trigger formal age checks where legally mandated.
Protection of Minors: We do not knowingly collect personal identifiers or track the identity of our visitors. Our primary protection for minors is the enforcement of regional geo-blocking. If we become aware that any data or account is definitively linked to a minor, we will terminate access and remove associated records immediately.

5. Data Retention

Anti-spam IP records: up to 60 seconds
Votes & preferences: stored until you clear your browser storage/cookies (or until they expire)
Analytics: retained according to our Google Analytics retention settings

6. Data Security & Contact

Third-party links: Our site contains links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of external sites. We may automatically monitor external links for safety (such as detecting redirects or malware).

While no system is 100% secure, we use industry-standard encryption and monitoring to protect the limited data we process. For any privacy-related questions or to exercise your rights under the GDPR, please contact us:
