Pokémon Monomyth Privacy Policy

This policy covers pokemonmonomyth.org. The operator is the publisher of this domain. Email [email protected]. Last updated 2 November 2026.

What loads, and when

The site loads analytics, session replay and advertising by default on the first page view. The cookie banner is a notice and a withdrawal control, not a gate: it appears on your first visit, and choosing Reject turns the optional scripts off and remembers that choice for 180 days. If you never choose, the site continues to treat the visit as granted. Global Privacy Control (navigator.globalPrivacyControl) is treated as Reject without waiting for a click.

The keys and cookies in detail

• pmm_consent (localStorage, 180 days): the choice (granted or denied), a timestamp and an expiry. It is written on your first visit as granted, rewritten when you press Accept or Reject, and ignored after 180 days.
• pmm_socialbar_closed (localStorage, no fixed expiry): set only if you close the Adsterra Social Bar. The loader reads it on later page views and does not inject the Social Bar again.
• Google Analytics 4 cookies are set on .pokemonmonomyth.org by gtag.js. GA4 receives page URLs, referrers, approximate location derived from IP, device and browser information, and a client identifier. IP addresses are not logged by GA4.
• Microsoft Clarity cookies are set on .pokemonmonomyth.org by clarity.ms. Clarity records mouse movements, clicks, scrolls and page views; it masks form inputs and can mask other text. Standard replay data is retained for 30 days; longer retention follows Microsoft’s published retention policy.
• Adsterra scripts are requested from bicea.org and may set cookies or similar identifiers to cap frequency, measure impressions and select creatives. Adsterra controls those names and retention; see its privacy policy linked above.
• YouTube is loaded only after your click, through the privacy-enhanced youtube-nocookie.com host; Google may still set cookies when the player starts.

Legal basis and your rights

• Our current implementation requests Google Analytics 4, Microsoft Clarity and Adsterra by default. A first-visit default record is not evidence of an affirmative Accept click. The banner offers Accept and Reject, and Reject withdraws optional loading for 180 days.
• We rely on legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f)) for security logging at our host and for keeping the site available.
• Withdrawing consent stops the optional loaders on that page view and on later visits for 180 days. It does not affect processing that already happened, and it does not delete cookies that a third party already set; use your browser controls or the opt-out links below for that.
• You may ask for access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, or object to processing. Write to [email protected]. You may also complain to your local data-protection authority.
• Google and Microsoft process data in the United States and other countries under their own safeguards (standard contractual clauses and, where applicable, the EU-US Data Privacy Framework).

Retention

• pmm_consent: 180 days in your browser, then ignored and overwritten on your next choice.
• pmm_socialbar_closed: kept until you clear this site’s stored data.
• Google Analytics 4: retention follows the property settings and Google’s data-retention policy; this page does not assert an unverified property-specific period.
• Microsoft Clarity: standard recordings are retained for 30 days; any longer retention follows Microsoft’s published retention policy.
• Adsterra: retained under Adsterra’s own schedule; we do not receive a copy of its cookie jar.
• Emails you send us are kept long enough to answer and to document a correction.

Personalized advertising and opt-outs

Adsterra may personalize creatives. You can reject all optional loading with the banner, and you can opt out of personalized advertising at Google Ads Settings, aboutads.info, Your Online Choices, or through Adsterra’s privacy policy. Browser-level controls (Do Not Track, Global Privacy Control, blocking third-party cookies) also apply; GPC is honored as a rejection.

Children

The site is a fan guide for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child sent us personal information, write to the contact address and we will delete it.

Changes

When a script, key or retention period changes, this page and the date at the top change in the same release. The current pages load Google Analytics 4, Microsoft Clarity and Adsterra by default, and YouTube only after a play click.
