Privacy policy

This policy matches what longshothoops.xyz actually loads on 2026-11-03. If a script is not named here, it is not on the page.

What loads, and when

Three third-party services are wired into every page: Google Analytics 4, Microsoft Clarity and Adsterra. All three start on the first page view, before you answer the banner. The banner is a notice and a withdrawal control, not a gate: Accept keeps them on, Reject turns all three off and stores that denial for 180 days, and Cookie settings in the footer reopens the same choice. Nothing else third-party is loaded: no YouTube player, no traffic-mesh or other banner SDK, no AdSense tag, no social embed, and fonts and images are files on this host.

The page head sets Consent Mode v2 before the Google tag is configured. On every visit, ad_storage, ad_user_data and ad_personalization default to denied; analytics_storage defaults to granted, with ads_data_redaction enabled. With no saved choice, Google Analytics 4, Clarity and Adsterra are requested while the banner remains visible; ad storage stays denied until Accept. A saved Reject, or Global Privacy Control, prevents new service requests and sets all four signals to denied. Reject reloads the current page and is remembered for 180 days.

Google Analytics 4

Google Analytics 4 (Google Ireland Limited; hosts www.googletagmanager.com and *.google-analytics.com), measurement ID G-3D3S3H33BM, property website_331_gameinfo_longshothoops.xyz. Purpose: count page views and see which guides are read, so thin or broken pages can be fixed. Storage, first party on longshothoops.xyz: the _ga cookie (about 13 months) and a per-stream _ga_<container-id> cookie (about 13 months). Google Analytics event data retention depends on the property settings; aggregated reports can live longer. The service is enabled by default; the banner records your preference and Reject disables subsequent requests after reloading. Opt out with Google’s Analytics opt-out browser add-on, or reject here. Google’s ad settings cover personalised advertising on Google services: myadcenter.google.com.

Microsoft Clarity

Microsoft Clarity (Microsoft Corporation; hosts www.clarity.ms, scripts.clarity.ms and *.clarity.ms), project z7t2oilwzs. Purpose: heatmaps and anonymised session recordings, so a confusing page can be watched instead of guessed at. Clarity masks form inputs and other sensitive content by default. Storage: the _clck cookie (about 12 months), the _clsk cookie (about 1 day) and the MUID cookie on .clarity.ms (about 13 months, set by Microsoft). Microsoft’s retention schedule applies to recordings, heatmaps and aggregated data. The service is enabled by default; the banner records your preference and Reject disables subsequent requests after reloading. Microsoft’s privacy statement covers the rest: privacy.microsoft.com/privacystatement.

Adsterra advertising

Adsterra (Adsterra Ltd; delivery host bicea.org; creative delivery may also use cdn.show-creative1.com, cdn.show-sb.com, cdn.cloudpiko.com and static.nresystems.com), publisher 3403020, website 6171847 (longshothoops.xyz). Two units exist for this site: NativeBanner_1, unit 32068972, an in-page Native Banner served from https://bicea.org/21/6c1c250e939c5ccb69e9d48fc29e03d6, and SocialBar_1, unit 32068973, a fixed Social Bar served from https://bicea.org/14/a936d3873292452651c7264b8307311f. There is no Popunder, Banner or Smartlink unit, and adult ads are switched off for this website in the Adsterra dashboard.

Storage: the delivery host may set its own identifiers on bicea.org, and each creative host may set or read its own cookies once a creative is served. Those names and lifetimes belong to Adsterra and its demand partners, not to us; we set nothing on your device for advertising. Legal basis: consent for personalised advertising, and legitimate interest in serving non-personalised advertising that funds the guide. To opt out of interest-based advertising across sites, use optout.aboutads.info, optout.networkadvertising.org and, in the EU, UK or Switzerland, youronlinechoices.com. Adsterra’s own policy is at adsterra.com/privacy-policy-managed. Reject here reloads the current page and stops new ad requests.

The fixed Social Bar is constrained by our own code, not by the vendor’s close control: whatever Adsterra anchors to the window is clamped to the viewport (max-width 100vw, border-box, overflow hidden), the document reserves room at the bottom so the bar cannot cover the footer, and its close button stores that decision in lsh_ad_float_closed for 180 days so the bar stays away on later visits instead of only until the next refresh.

What is stored on your device

The preference record holds a choice, a timestamp and an expiry time. It is not sent to an ad network. Accept or Reject rewrites the record; Reject stores “denied”. If the browser exposes Global Privacy Control, the banner treats that as Reject and writes denied. Do Not Track is not used as a second switch, because browsers send it inconsistently; the Reject button and Global Privacy Control are the controls that change the record. Pressing Accept after reopening Cookie settings clears lsh_ad_float_closed, so the bar can return.

Legal basis

Analytics and advertising scripts are requested by default; this automatic loading does not mean that you pressed Accept. Google ad storage remains denied until you choose Accept. Reject stops new service requests and records your refusal. If you email us, the message is used to reply and to fix a page (legitimate interest in operating the guide, and the correspondence you started). We do not sell personal information.

Your rights

You can ask for access, correction, deletion, or objection by emailing [email protected]. You can delete the preference yourself by clearing this site’s data in the browser, or by opening Cookie settings in the footer and choosing Reject. For advertising and analytics data the controllers are the providers named above; the opt-out pages above reach them, and we will forward a request sent to the mailbox above. You can complain to your local data authority. We reply to the mailbox above.

Changes

When a third-party script is added or removed, this page names it, says why it loads, and lists any cookie or storage key before the change ships. The date at the top of the page is the revision date. Cookie settings stays in the footer either way.
