GamerWeb (“GamerWeb,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) runs gamerweb.net, a place for video game news, reviews, guides, and gaming culture. This Privacy Policy walks you through what information we gather when you browse our site, why we gather it, and the choices you have over it.

By visiting gamerweb.net, you agree to the practices described here. If something in this policy doesn’t sit right with you, please stop using the site and reach out to us with your concerns.

What We Collect

We keep data collection light. Most visitors simply read our articles without ever handing us personal details. Here is what may come our way:

• Details you choose to share. When you leave a comment, sign up for our newsletter, or write to us, we receive what you type in, such as your name, email address, and the message itself.
• Technical data from your device. Like nearly every website, our servers automatically log your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring page, pages viewed, and the date and time of your visit.
• Cookie and tracking data. Small files placed on your device help us remember your preferences, measure traffic, and show ads. The cookies section below covers this in more detail.

We do not ask for sensitive information such as Social Security numbers, payment card details, health records, or precise geolocation.

How We Put Your Information to Work

Everything we gather serves a practical purpose tied to running the site:

• Keeping gamerweb.net online, fast, and working smoothly across devices
• Displaying and moderating reader comments
• Sending newsletters or updates you asked to receive (you can unsubscribe anytime with one click)
• Answering questions, tips, and feedback you send our way
• Understanding which articles readers enjoy so we can cover more of what matters to gamers
• Serving advertisements that keep our content free to read
• Spotting spam, bots, fraud, and other abuse
• Meeting our legal obligations

We never sell your name or email address to list brokers or marketers.

Cookies, Advertising, and Analytics

Cookies are tiny text files your browser stores when you visit a website. We use them in three main ways:

• Essential cookies keep core features running, like remembering your comment details or cookie preferences.
• Analytics cookies come from tools such as Google Analytics. They show us, in aggregate, how many people visit, where they arrive from, and which pages they read.
• Advertising cookies are set by our ad partners, which may include Google AdSense and other ad networks. These partners may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to show ads based on your visits to this site and other sites across the web.

Google’s use of advertising cookies lets it and its partners serve ads based on your browsing. You can turn off personalized ads at Google Ads Settings, or opt out of many third-party vendors at aboutads.info and the Network Advertising Initiative.

Most browsers also let you block or delete cookies. Blocking them won’t lock you out of our articles, but some features may stop working as intended.

Sharing, Storage, and Security

We pass information to outside parties only in these situations:

• Service providers that help run the site, such as our hosting company, analytics tools, spam filters, email platform, and ad networks. They may use the data only to do work for us.
• Legal requests when the law, a court order, or a government agency requires it, or when we need to protect our rights, our readers, or the public.
• Business changes if GamerWeb merges with, or is sold to, another company. The new owner would remain bound by this policy for data already collected.

We hold on to personal information only as long as it serves the purpose it was collected for. Approved comments stay published until you ask us to remove them. Server logs are typically cleared within a few months.

We protect the site with encrypted HTTPS connections, up-to-date software, and restricted admin access. Still, no system on the internet is bulletproof, so we cannot promise absolute security.
