Privacy Policy
Last updated:
LK Forge (“we”, “us”, “our”) operates the website lkforge.com and its subpages. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit our site, how we use it, and the choices available to you.
1. Information We Collect
We do not collect any personally identifiable information (name, email, account credentials) directly. When you visit our site, the following data may be collected automatically:
- Usage data — pages viewed, time on page, referring URL, browser type, device type, and approximate geographic region (country/city level). Collected via Google Analytics 4.
- Interaction events — button clicks, game interactions, and feature usage patterns. Collected via Google Tag Manager.
- Cookies — small files stored in your browser by Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager to distinguish unique visitors and sessions. No first-party cookies are set by LK Forge itself.
2. How We Use Your Information
The data collected is used solely to:
- Understand which games and features visitors find most useful
- Diagnose technical issues and improve site performance
- Measure the reach and effectiveness of content updates
We do not sell or rent your personal data. When advertising is enabled, ad partners may process limited data to serve and measure ads as described in Section 5 (Advertising) below.
3. Google Analytics & Google Tag Manager
We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) and Google Tag Manager (GTM) to collect aggregated usage statistics. These services may set their own cookies and transfer data to Google servers in the United States. Google’s processing of this data is governed by the Google Privacy Policy.
You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, or by using a browser with tracking protection enabled.
4. Cloudflare
Our site is served via Cloudflare as a CDN and security provider. Cloudflare may collect IP addresses and other connection data for security, DDoS mitigation, and performance purposes. This is governed by the Cloudflare Privacy Policy.
5. Advertising
LK Forge does not currently display advertising. If and when we introduce ads to keep the games free, we will use Google AdSense. At that point:
- Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.
- Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits. You can opt out of personalised advertising at Google My Ad Center.
- Third-party vendors and ad networks may also serve ads; their use of cookies is governed by their own privacy policies.
- For visitors in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland, we display a Google-certified consent message before any non-essential or advertising cookies are set.
See our Cookie Policy for full details, and Google’s advertising policies.
6. Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights under applicable privacy laws (including GDPR and CCPA) to:
- Know what personal data is held about you
- Request deletion of your data
- Opt out of data collection (see Section 3 above)
Because we collect only aggregated, anonymised analytics data and do not create user accounts, most requests can be fulfilled by clearing your browser cookies and enabling the GA opt-out add-on.
7. Children’s Privacy
LK Forge does not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. Our games require no registration and collect no user-submitted content.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
