Privacy policy
Updated October 1, 2026. This page identifies every third party this site directly loads, when each one starts, and how to opt out. The embedded game and video may contact other delivery domains governed by their providers' policies after you click to load them.

What loads, and when
| Party | Purpose | When |
|---|---|---|
| This site | HTML, CSS, images, the solver | On each page view |
Google Analytics 4 (googletagmanager.com, G-X8SQHHC71S) | Aggregate audience statistics with Consent Mode v2 | Only after you accept in the cookie banner |
Microsoft Clarity (clarity.ms, project yqf6cww1nm) | Session replay and heatmaps to improve usability | Only after you accept in the cookie banner |
| Adsterra (adsterra.com and its delivery domains) | Advertising — one Native Banner in the content and one Social Bar fixed at the bottom; adult ads are off for this website | Only after you accept in the cookie banner |
| poople.io game page: poople.io, InMobi (cmp.inmobi.com), Ezoic, Google AdSense | The live game iframe and third-party services disclosed by the game's privacy policy | Only after you press Play |
| YouTube (youtube-nocookie.com), Google video services (googlevideo.com) | The gameplay video and its media delivery | Only after you press Play video |
The first HTML loads no analytics, session-replay, or advertising script at all, and never will before you accept: GA4's tag file, Clarity's loader, and both Adsterra scripts are injected only after an explicit accept (or not at all). The page sets the Consent Mode v2 default with ad_storage, ad_user_data, ad_personalization, and analytics_storage all denied, plus ads_data_redaction and url_passthrough. Accepting updates those four to granted for this visit's analytics and ads; rejecting keeps everything denied and nothing extra loads. The embedded game and video are operated by their respective providers, which may contact additional delivery or advertising domains after you click; their own privacy and consent controls then apply.
Storage
Key poople-consent-v1 in localStorage stores your accept or reject choice and an expiry. We keep it for 180 days, then ask again. If you close the Adsterra Social Bar, key poople_socialbar_closed in localStorage stores that choice so it stays closed after a reload. GA4, Clarity, and Adsterra may set their own cookies or storage after you accept; those are governed by their policies. The practice game and solver do not write an account. If you hide the choice dialog, no other key is set.
Legal basis
The pages themselves are served because you asked for them. The consent key and the social-bar key are stored so we can honor the choices you made. Analytics, session replay, and advertising scripts start only after your explicit accept (or not at all), which is their lawful basis. YouTube and poople.io run only after a click, which is the signal to load that frame.
Retention
The consent record expires after 180 days in your browser. We do not operate a server log of puzzle guesses. Hosting logs, if the host keeps them, are the host's. Email you send to contact@poople.lol is kept long enough to answer and then deleted.
Your rights
You can ask for a copy of mail you sent us, ask us to delete it, or object to how we handle it. Use contact@poople.lol. You can also clear localStorage yourself or open Cookie settings in the footer to change a saved choice. If you are in the EEA or UK, you may complain to your local authority. We will not make you create an account to do this.
Advertising opt-outs, DNT, and GPC
Advertising on this site is served by Adsterra with the adult-ads category disabled. To limit personalized advertising across other companies, the industry opt-out is aboutads.info and Google Ads Settings is adssettings.google.com; Adsterra's own privacy terms are linked from adsterra.com. If navigator.globalPrivacyControl is true, or if doNotTrack is "1", we treat the visit as a refusal and do not store an accept.
Changes
If we add or remove a tag, this page changes in the same release, and the date at the top moves. Open Cookie settings in the footer to change your stored choice.
