1. Introduction

At Aoe4Labs, we prioritize your privacy. This document outlines the types of information we do and do not collect. We are committed to transparency and ensuring your experience on our site is safe.

2. DATA COLLECTION & ANALYTICS

We use Google Analytics to analyze website traffic and user behavior. This tool collects anonymous data such as page views, session duration, and approximate geolocation. Google Analytics uses cookies to function. We do NOT collect personally identifiable information (PII) like names or direct IP addresses on our own servers.

3. Local Storage

This website uses "Local Storage" technology (a standard feature of modern web browsers) to save your preferences directly on your device. This allows us to remember settings such as your selected civilization, simulator inputs, or quiz progress.

Important: This data never leaves your browser and is not sent to our servers. Deleting your browser cache will remove these saved preferences.

4. Third-Party Links

Our site contains links to external websites (such as GitHub, Discord, or official Age of Empires resources). We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these other sites. We encourage you to read the privacy statements of any other site that collects personally identifiable information.

5. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons.
