Privacy

Shroom and Gloom Guide is a static site. There are no accounts, no logins, and nothing on it asks you for personal information. It runs two analytics services, and this page says plainly what each collects.

Analytics

  • Google Analytics 4 counts visits and records which pages get used. Google signals and ad personalisation are switched off in the tag’s configuration.
  • Microsoft Clarity records sessions. That is more than counting: it captures pointer movement, clicks and scrolling so that pages can be replayed and aggregated into heatmaps. Saying this site “only collects anonymous statistics” would be false while Clarity is installed, so it does not say that. It does not start until you click, scroll or press a key; a visit where you only read loads nothing from Microsoft. Once it starts, Microsoft’s servers set their own cookies on clarity.ms and bing.com.

These services set their own identifiers. This site does not try to identify individual visitors, and you can confirm exactly which scripts load by viewing the source of any page.

Advertising

No advertising network is loaded at the moment. If ads are switched on, this section describes them in the same deploy.

What this site itself stores

Nothing on a server. If you switch between the light and dark theme, that choice is saved in your browser’s local storage so the next page opens the same way. It never leaves your device.

What reaches Cloudflare

The site is served as static files from Cloudflare, so ordinary web server request logs exist at that layer, as they do for any website. Cloudflare also adds its own small Web Analytics script to pages it serves, which reports page load timing and visit counts without cookies.

Opting out

Analytics services respect the usual blocking methods: a content blocker, or a browser that blocks third-party scripts, stops them loading entirely. Nothing on this site depends on any of them working.
