Default loading and how to turn it off
There is no "accept to load" gate. On a first visit the page immediately requests Google Analytics 4, Microsoft Clarity and Adsterra, and it shows a banner that says so. The banner has two buttons: OK keeps the default, and Reject turns ad storage, ad user data, ad personalization, analytics storage and Clarity recording off, then remembers that rejection in local storage for 180 days. Reject disables Google Analytics measurement, sends a denied consent update, stops Clarity, removes the advertising tags and reloads the page under the saved rejection to terminate previously loaded vendor code. Requests already sent before Reject cannot be recalled; existing vendor cookies may remain until they expire or you remove this site’s data. The footer button Cookie settings reopens the same banner so you can change the choice at any time.
Global Privacy Control (GPC) and Do Not Track (DNT) are read on every visit. When either is on, the page treats the visit as Reject, loads no Clarity or Adsterra script, and sends denied analytics and ad signals. Nothing about that choice is sold or shared by this site; there is no account and no first-party profile.
Cookies and local storage
| Name | Set by | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
| sl_consent (local storage, not a cookie) | spotlegame.org | Stores granted or denied, the timestamp, and the 180-day lifetime for the banner choice. | 180 days, then the next visit writes a fresh choice. |
| spotle-floating-ad-closed (local storage, not a cookie) | spotlegame.org | Remembers that you closed the Adsterra Social Bar so it stays closed after a reload. | 180 days. |
| _ga and _ga_P7PPM7F5VF | Google Analytics 4 | Distinguishes browsers and keeps session state for page counting. | Up to 2 years. |
| _clck | Microsoft Clarity | Persists the Clarity user ID and session settings. | See the provider policy and your browser cookie settings. |
| _clsk | Microsoft Clarity | Joins page views into a single session recording. | See the provider policy and your browser cookie settings. |
| CLID, ANONCHK, MR, MUID and SM | Microsoft Clarity / Microsoft | Third-party identification and cookie-support markers listed in the Clarity documentation; availability depends on browser settings. | See the provider policy; this audit did not establish one lifetime for all these cookies. |
| Adsterra cookies on adsterra.com and its creative host bicea.org | Adsterra | Frequency capping, fraud prevention, and attribution of a click or impression to a publisher. Names are assigned per campaign, so we list the domains instead of guessing names. | The provider publishes purpose-based retention rather than one fixed campaign-cookie lifetime. |
| YouTube player storage | YouTube (after you press Play video) | The privacy-enhanced player and any subsequent YouTube interactions are governed by Google’s policy; storage varies with player interaction and browser settings. | See the provider policy; no fixed lifetime is asserted here. |
Our own application code sets no cookies, but Google Analytics and Clarity can set first-party cookies on spotlegame.org. The two local-storage keys above stay in your browser and are never sent to this site's server. Clearing site data for spotlegame.org deletes both.
Legal basis
- This site uses the default loading and opt-out controls described above. A first visit without a saved choice is not recorded as an affirmative click on OK.
- The consent record itself and security logging: our legitimate interest in honouring your choice and keeping the site available, Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, and the ePrivacy exemption for storing a preference you asked us to remember.
- If you are in a jurisdiction that does not require consent for these transfers, the same choices still apply through the banner and the GPC/DNT signals.
Personalized advertising and opt-out links
Adsterra may personalize ads using cookies on its own domains. You can turn off personalized advertising at the vendor and industry level without deleting the site's consent record:
- Google Ads Settings for Google-served personalization.
- Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out and Network Advertising Initiative opt-out for participating advertisers.
- Your Online Choices for the EU/UK ad-choice framework.
- Adsterra privacy policy for its own cookie and opt-out details.
- GPC and DNT stop our ad loader. Blocking third-party cookies limits vendor storage, but does not by itself stop script requests.
Your rights
- Access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, and objection: email [email protected]. There is no account on this site to export, so a request is about the consent record or a message you sent.
- Withdraw consent at any time through Cookie settings or by clearing site data for spotlegame.org. Withdrawal does not affect processing that happened before it.
- Complain to your local data-protection authority. In the EU, that is the authority where you live or work; in the UK, the Information Commissioner's Office.
- The site does not knowingly collect data from children under 13 and does not ask for a name, address or payment detail.
Changes
If a third-party script is added or removed, this page is updated in the same change: it names the vendor, says when the script loads, and lists the cookie or storage keys before the script ships. The date at the top is the date of the current text. Last updated 2026-11-13.
FAQ
Do you use cookies?
Our own application code sets no cookies; Google Analytics and Clarity can set first-party cookies on this domain. It stores the consent choice in the local-storage key sl_consent and the closed state of the ad bar in spotle-floating-ad-closed. Google Analytics 4 and Clarity may use first-party cookies, while vendors and clicked embeds may also use third-party storage; the table above lists the names and lifetimes we can state without guessing.
Do you run ads?
Yes. Adsterra Native Banner and Social Bar load by default on the first view. Reject turns them off for 180 days, and ads.txt declares the same Adsterra publisher id (3403020) that the page uses.
Do analytics and recording load before I click OK?
Yes. Google Analytics 4 and Microsoft Clarity load on the first view by default. The banner informs you and offers Reject; it is not a gate. Reject stops both and is remembered for 180 days.
How do I change my choice?
Use Cookie settings in the footer, or delete site data for spotlegame.org. GPC and DNT are treated as Reject on every visit.
