Cookies and Advertising

We use a cookie consent banner before loading advertising cookies. If you click Accept, we and our partners (including Google) may store and access cookies for advertising purposes. If you click Decline, advertising cookies are not set.

We implement Google Consent Mode v2 so ad requests respect your choice. Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits when you have consented. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.

You can change your choice at any time using Cookie Preferences in the site footer.

Affiliate Links

Some pages list server hosting discount codes or links to third-party stores. If a link is an affiliate link, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Affiliate relationships do not affect which codes we list or how we rank content. We only list codes we have verified against official sources.

Third-Party Services

We use the following categories of third-party services:

  • Cloudflare: Website hosting, CDN, and security (log data, IP addresses).
  • Google AdSense: Display advertising (when enabled and consented).
  • Discord: Optional webhook notifications for code reports (no personal data sent unless included in a user submission).

Each provider has its own privacy policy. Google's privacy policy is at policies.google.com/privacy.

Data Retention

Server logs are retained by our hosting provider according to their standard retention policies (typically up to 30 days). Cookie consent choices are stored in your browser's local storage until you clear them or use Cookie Preferences. Contact form submissions are retained only as long as needed to respond to your request.

International Transfers

Our hosting and advertising providers may process data in the United States and other countries. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses offered by our providers.
