Privacy policy
GA4, Microsoft Clarity and Adsterra load by default. Reject stops optional integrations for 180 days. YouTube connects only after Play. Google advertising storage signals start denied; analytics_storage starts granted.
Who we are
scrambleknights.org is an independent guide to Scramble Knights Online. The data controller for this site is the operator of scrambleknights.org, reachable at [email protected]. Funktronic Labs does not operate this site and does not receive your request unless you also write to them.
Default loading and your choice
Without a saved choice or Global Privacy Control, GA4, Clarity and both Adsterra placements are requested immediately, with the banner visible. Before GA4 config, Consent Mode v2 defaults ad_storage, ad_user_data and ad_personalization to denied, and analytics_storage to granted; ads_data_redaction is true. Accept grants the three Google advertising signals.
Reject saves denied in sko_consent for 180 days, updates Google and Clarity consent, removes ads and reloads to terminate vendor timers and recording. Subsequent pages skip the GA4 tag, Clarity and Adsterra. Cookie settings reopens the banner; Accept after Reject reloads to restore these integrations. Reject cannot recall information already sent.
Global Privacy Control follows Reject before optional scripts load. A fresh visit does not save an explicit acceptance; the notice continues until a choice is made. Default loading is not described here as an explicit opt-in.
Google Analytics 4
Google Analytics 4 uses Measurement ID G-J47YN8HZSC to count visits and guide usage. It loads by default from www.googletagmanager.com; measurements go to google-analytics.com and its subdomains, including www.google-analytics.com, and analytics.google.com. Data can include IP address, browser details, page URL, referrer and interaction events. Reject disables subsequent loading.
Google documents _ga and _ga_<container-id> with a default two-year lifetime, subject to configured settings. The older _gid cookie is not claimed as part of this GA4 setup. See the linked GA4 cookie documentation. Privacy: https://policies.google.com/privacy. Opt-out add-on: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Microsoft Clarity
Microsoft Clarity project z4q0ssmkr0 provides heatmaps and session recordings of clicks, scrolls, taps and page layout. It loads by default and is disabled by Reject. Do not send payment, account or sensitive information through this guide site.
Observed hosts include www.clarity.ms, scripts.clarity.ms and collection hosts such as q.clarity.ms, t.clarity.ms and other *.clarity.ms subdomains. Microsoft documents _clck and _clsk as first-party cookies, and CLID, ANONCHK, MR, MUID and SM as possible third-party cookies. Their retention is controlled by Microsoft; the linked documentation is authoritative. These are possible cookies, not a claim that all were observed. Privacy: https://privacy.microsoft.com/privacystatement.
Adsterra advertising
Adsterra serves NativeBanner_1 (unit 31966560) and SocialBar_1 (unit 31966561) from bicea.org by default. Reject stops these placements. The integration record sets adult advertising to false.
The browser audit recorded or attempted requests to bicea.org and creative partners static.nresystems.com, cdn.storageimagedisplay.com, cdn.show-sb.com, cdn.show-creative1.com and m1.openfpcdn.io. Our Content Security Policy allows these hosts so the placements can render; creatives and partner hosts can vary. Requests can expose IP address, browser details, page URL and ad interactions.
An attempted request to m1.openfpcdn.io was observed during the default-loading audit. Our Content Security Policy allows that script host so creatives can render; we have not verified that its script sets a device identifier.
Ad partners may use cookies and local storage. We have no independently verified cookie-name or retention inventory for rotating creatives, so we do not claim particular pip_* keys or lifetimes. Reject stops these placements. Adsterra privacy: https://adsterra.com/privacy-policy/. Industry opt-outs: https://optout.aboutads.info/, https://optout.networkadvertising.org/ and https://www.youronlinechoices.eu/.
YouTube and other embedded media
Videos first show local thumbnails. Pressing Play creates an iframe that connects to www.youtube.com, with possible resources from ytimg.com and googlevideo.com. YouTube can receive your IP address, browser details, referrer and cookie identifiers. No YouTube iframe or request is created before Play. Reject disables default analytics, recording and ads; a later explicit Play still requests the selected video. Google controls player cookies and retention: https://policies.google.com/privacy.
Fonts ship with this site. We do not load Google Fonts, Disqus or a separate comment service. Hosting services can process IP address, browser details, URL and time in operational logs; a fixed retention period has not been independently established for this site.

Your requests and rights
Depending on where you live, you can ask for access, correction, deletion, or a copy of the information we actually hold, and you can object to a consent-based use. Email [email protected]. We do not sell personal information. We do not respond to the Do Not Track header beyond the Global Privacy Control behavior described above, because DNT is not a consistent signal. Children are not the audience of this site; do not send a child's information to the contact address.
If you are in the EEA or the UK, you can complain to your local data protection authority. If you are in California, you can ask us to delete or correct information and to confirm what we hold; we will not discriminate against you for making a request.
Changes and contact
The policy date is the site updatedAt value, 2026-10-28. A material change will show a new date on this page and in the sitemap lastmod for the URL. Questions and requests: [email protected].
What I checked
This policy follows the integration records and the local browser audit of 2026-10-28. Vendor cookie documentation describes possible cookies, not an observed cookie inventory. The exact site-owned storage keys are sko_consent and sko_socialbar_closed.
Questions
Do you load analytics and ads before I click Accept?
Yes. GA4, Clarity and Adsterra load by default, with the banner visible. Google advertising storage signals remain denied until Accept. Reject disables these integrations for 180 days.
What happens when I click Reject?
We store denied for 180 days, update consent, remove ads and reload. Later pages skip the optional integration scripts unless you change your choice.
Do you use cookies?
The site uses localStorage sko_consent and sko_socialbar_closed. Vendors can set cookies described above; YouTube connects only after Play.
Are Google Fonts loaded?
No. Fredoka and Nunito are shipped with the site from the font files in the build, not from a Google font server.
