Privacy policy

This policy matches the scripts this site actually loads on 30 Oct 2026: Google Analytics 4, Microsoft Clarity, Adsterra, and a YouTube player when you press play. If that set changes, the policy changes in the same release.

Who we are

The site is mechaniclegends.com. Contact [email protected]. We are not Wrench Work, Mechanic Devs, or Roblox. Pages are static and the fonts are files on this host, not a Google Fonts request.

What loads, and when

These third parties load on the first page view, before you touch the banner. A visit with no stored choice is treated as granted. The banner tells you what runs and lets you withdraw: press Reject and Google Analytics 4, Microsoft Clarity and Adsterra are switched off for 180 days; the page reloads to stop the current recording and advertising code. Press OK, or change your mind later from Cookie settings in the footer, and they load again.

• Google Analytics 4 (Google LLC, measurement ID G-YSJZ5GJ8Q9) counts page views and reports aggregate traffic. Its loader uses www.googletagmanager.com and measurements use www.google-analytics.com.
• Microsoft Clarity (Microsoft Corporation, project z5mv2njkm5) records session replays and heatmaps using browser and session identifiers. Its loader uses www.clarity.ms and scripts.clarity.ms; collection requests also use regional subdomains of clarity.ms.
• Adsterra (Adsterra Network, publisher 3403020, website 6161540) serves the Native Banner and the fixed Social Bar on this site. It loads from bicea.org. The placement configuration requests non-adult advertising.
• YouTube (Google LLC) loads only when you press the play button on a video, through youtube-nocookie.com. Until that click the player is an image on this host. There is no autoplaying embed.
• Outbound links go to Roblox, YouTube, and the sources named on each page. Those sites have their own policies.

Cookies and localStorage keys

• ml_consent — localStorage, written by this site, kept 180 days. Holds your choice (granted or denied), the time it was saved, and an expiry.
• ml_socialbar_closed — localStorage, written by this site when you close the floating ad bar, kept 180 days. It stops the bar returning on the next page load.
• _ga and _ga_YSJZ5GJ8Q9 — Google Analytics 4 cookies used to distinguish browsers and sessions. Their expiry depends on Google’s settings; we have not independently measured the duration for this project.
• _clck and _clsk — Microsoft Clarity cookies that keep the Clarity user id and the session id. Clarity may also read the Microsoft cookies CLID, MUID, ANONCHK, MR and SM.
• Adsterra cookies — advertising responses may set cookies on bicea.org or a creative host for frequency limits, impression and click measurement, and invalid-traffic checks. We have not verified a fixed lifetime for every creative, so no duration is asserted here.

Why we hold this, and for how long

The analytics and advertising described above use a default-on setting until you choose Reject. This describes the technical setting; an initial visit is not presented as an affirmative consent click. The choice record lets the site remember your preference. We have not verified the current project retention setting for Google Analytics 4 or every advertising record, so we do not publish a fixed retention period for them. Microsoft describes different retention periods for ordinary recordings, selected recordings and heatmap data in its linked documentation. We keep correction emails for as long as the correspondence needs them. Email to [email protected] is routed through Cloudflare Email Routing to our mail-hub Worker and mailbox; a copy is mirrored to our Gmail inbox so the editorial desk can read and reply. We do not run a visitor account on this site.

Your choices and rights

You can withdraw or change consent with Reject / OK in the banner, or with Cookie settings in the footer; the choice is remembered for 180 days. You can also clear ml_consent and ml_socialbar_closed in your browser at any time, which returns the site to its default-on state on the next visit. To ask what we hold, or to access, correct or delete the correspondence you sent us, email [email protected].

For personalised advertising, use Google ad settings at https://adssettings.google.com/ , the DAA opt-out at https://optout.aboutads.info/ , the NAI opt-out at https://optout.networkadvertising.org/ , or the EU choices page at https://www.youronlinechoices.com/ . Adsterra's own privacy policy is at https://adsterra.com/privacy-policy/ . Global Privacy Control is honoured as a reject. Do Not Track is not a separate switch beyond that.

We change this policy by editing this page and its date. The previous date stays in the page history of the site release.
