Privacy

Privacy Policy

The short version: we don't require an account, we don't sell your data, and we keep tracking to a minimum.

AoE2 DB is a free, fan-made reference site. You can browse everything here without signing in or giving us any personal information. This page explains the limited data we do collect and why.

Analytics

We use analytics to understand which pages and tools are useful so we know what to improve. We run one service:

  • Google Analytics — which sets cookies and collects standard usage data (such as pages viewed, approximate location, device and browser). You can opt out with a browser extension or by blocking cookies.

We use this data only in aggregate to improve the site. We don't use it to identify individual visitors.

Feedback you send us

If you use the feedback form, the message you write — and an email address, only if you choose to include one — is sent to our team so we can read and act on it. We use it solely to respond to your message and improve the site. We don't add you to a mailing list or share it with advertisers.

Advertising

This site is supported by ads served through Google AdSense. Google and its partners use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising in Google's Ad Settings, and learn how Google uses data from sites that use its services at policies.google.com.

Cookies & local storage

Google Analytics and Google AdSense set cookies as described above. Some tools on the site may save small preferences (such as filter settings) in your browser's local storage so the page remembers them on your next visit. This stays on your device and is never sent to us.

Third-party links

Pages may link to external sites such as Steam. Those sites have their own privacy policies, and this policy doesn't cover them.
