Geoplanetical.com privacy policy
Last checked: 2026-10-29
This policy describes Geoplanetical.com as it is built on 29 Oct 2026. The contact address is [email protected]. It names every third party the pages actually load, with the IDs this build ships.
What the pages actually load
| Third party and ID | When it loads | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
Google Analytics 4 / gtag — G-K9FESQZRXD | On the first view, by default. | Aggregate page views, sessions, referrers and basic device data. Consent Mode v2 starts with ad_storage, ad_user_data and ad_personalization denied and analytics_storage granted, before config. The body loader updates a fresh visit to granted before requesting ads; Reject withdraws those signals. |
Microsoft Clarity — project z53gs6krlt | On the first view, by default. The page creates the script; the initial HTML only carries the project id. | Heatmaps and session recordings. Clarity masks sensitive content by default. Reject revokes Clarity consent and reloads without its tag. |
Adsterra — publisher 3403020, website 6159089 | On the first view, by default. Native Banner 31978848 is created by the page; Social Bar 31978850 is the fixed bottom bar. | Display advertising. Adult ads are turned off in the Adsterra panel. Only Native Banner and Social Bar are installed; there is no popunder, banner or smartlink unit on this site. |
| YouTube / youtube-nocookie.com | Only after you press Play on a video facade. No iframe is in the initial HTML. | Shows a trailer or creator video. Once the frame loads, YouTube's own cookies and policy apply. |
| Cloudflare and the origin host | On every request, as ordinary server logs. | IP address, user agent, requested URL and timestamps for security, abuse prevention and capacity. These logs are not used to build a profile. |
| Google Fonts | No request. Barlow is self-hosted with the site. | No font request leaves the origin. |
| Steam | Only if you follow a store link. | We do not embed the Steam widget or its tracker. |
Network hosts observed on 29 Oct 2026
The local build requested Google at www.googletagmanager.com and www.google-analytics.com; Microsoft at www.clarity.ms, scripts.clarity.ms and lettered collection hosts such as g.clarity.ms; and Adsterra delivery at bicea.org, static.nresystems.com, cdn.storageimagedisplay.com, cdn.show-sb.com, cdn.show-creative1.com and cdn.cloudpiko.com. These requests are default-on, and Reject stops all three on the reloaded page: no GA4 tag, no Clarity tag, no ad scripts. Delivery hosts can vary by campaign. Embedded videos use YouTube and Google media hosts only after Play.
Default on, Reject off
Measurement and advertising are on by default. The banner is notice plus withdrawal, not a gate: it appears on the first view while the tags above are already loading. Reject removes the GA4, Clarity and Adsterra scripts, calls clarity('consent', false), withdraws the ad and analytics consent signals through gtag('consent','update',…), and writes denied with the current time to gp_consent_v1. The page reloads to stop existing timers and frames, then skips GA4, Clarity and advertising scripts for 180 days on this browser. Accept keeps them on and writes granted. Cookie settings in the footer reopens the banner so you can change the choice at any time.
If navigator.globalPrivacyControl is true, or Do Not Track is 1, the site treats the visit as Reject: it writes denied and loads none of GA4, Clarity or Adsterra. The consent record itself is the only first-party storage written in that case.
Cookies and localStorage keys
The localStorage durations below are implemented by this site. Vendor cookie durations are documented defaults from the named provider (single-provider sources), not a promise about every browser or campaign; your actual cookie expiration may differ. No fixed ad-vendor retention is asserted.
| Key | Type and owner | What it holds | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
gp_consent_v1 | localStorage, this origin | Your choice (granted or denied) and the ISO time you set it. | 180 days, then the banner path runs again. |
gp_socialbar_closed | localStorage, this origin | The time you closed the Adsterra Social Bar with its local Close ad button. | 180 days; after that the bar may appear again. |
_ga | Cookie, this origin, set by Google Analytics 4 | A random client identifier used to distinguish browsers. | 2 years. |
_ga_K9FESQZRXD | Cookie, this origin, set by Google Analytics 4 | Session state for this property's measurement ID. | 2 years. |
_clck | Cookie, this origin, set by Microsoft Clarity | A persistent Clarity user identifier. | 1 year. |
_clsk | Cookie, this origin, set by Microsoft Clarity | A short-lived session identifier that joins page views into one recording. | 1 day. |
CLID, MUID | Cookies on clarity.ms / microsoft.com, set by Microsoft | Clarity and Microsoft identifiers used for the recording service. | 1 year. |
| Adsterra cookies and localStorage | Set by Adsterra or the demand partner on bicea.org and on the creative's own domain | Session or frequency-cap identifiers, approximate geo, and creative delivery state. The names are generated per campaign and are not stable, so this policy describes the category instead of inventing names. | Vendor-controlled; no single verified duration is available. |
YouTube cookies, for example VISITOR_INFO1_LIVE and YSC | Set by youtube-nocookie.com / youtube.com after you press Play | Playback preferences and abuse prevention for the embedded player. | Up to 2 years for preference cookies; session for YSC. |
Why we process it, and on what legal basis
- Analytics (GA4 and Clarity): audience measurement and site improvement, requested on the first visit. Reject removes both tags, so no measurement request is sent on the reloaded page. Cookie settings reopens the controls.
- Advertising (Adsterra): funds this guide. Google ad consent defaults to denied in the head; the body loader treats a fresh visit as granted and requests the ads immediately. This is default-on processing, not a claim that silence is affirmative consent. Reject withdraws consent and reloads without ads.
- Security and capacity (host logs): legitimate interest in keeping the site available and blocking abuse.
- We do not sell personal information, and we do not use special-category data for advertising.
Personalized advertising: how to opt out
Adsterra and its demand partners may personalize ads using cookie and device signals. To turn personalization off across participating vendors, use Google Ads Settings, DAA WebChoices, NAI opt-out, or the Adsterra publisher contact at adsterra.com/contact. On this site, Reject is the strongest switch: it removes the ad scripts and remembers the choice for 180 days. Microsoft's own controls are at account.microsoft.com/privacy, and Google's at myaccount.google.com/privacy.
Retention and rights
The consent and Social Bar records live in your browser for 180 days and are never sent to us as a record. We have not independently confirmed this property’s event-retention setting or the host’s log-rotation period, so we do not state a numeric duration. Google, Microsoft and advertising vendors control their own service retention; their policies linked here explain that processing. You can ask what we hold, ask for a correction, object to processing, withdraw consent, or complain to a supervisory authority. Write to [email protected]. Deleting site data for this origin removes the two localStorage keys and the first-party cookies immediately.
The host that serves the files may keep ordinary request logs for security. We do not run a separate account database, and there is no login on this site. YouTube, once you press Play, is governed by Google's own policy. Adsterra creatives are governed by Adsterra's policy and the demand partner's policy linked from the creative.
We change this page in the same edit that adds or removes a script, and we change the checked date with it. Previous versions are the git history of this site.
Does Geoplanetical.com load analytics and ads before I click anything?
Yes. Google Analytics 4, Microsoft Clarity and Adsterra load on the first view. The banner tells you that and offers Reject. Reject is the withdrawal: it removes the Clarity and Adsterra scripts, withdraws the analytics and advertising consent signals, and stores that choice for 180 days. Cookie settings in the footer brings the banner back.
What is gp_consent_v1?
A localStorage key on this origin. It stores granted or denied and the time you chose it. The site reads it for 180 days. It is not a cookie, and it never leaves this browser unless you export it.
Does Reject delete the data already sent?
No. Reject saves the choice, withdraws consent and reloads the page to stop scripts already running. Google Analytics may still receive cookieless pings under Consent Mode v2, which carry no cookie or advertising identifier. You can also use the opt-out links below or your browser's site-data controls.
