Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 2026
Rather Be Board Gaming ("this site") is a hobby board game blog. This policy explains what data is collected when you visit, how it is used, and your rights regarding that data.
What we collect
This site uses Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use the site. Google Analytics collects:
- Pages visited and time spent on each page
- Scroll depth (whether you reached the end of an article)
- Outbound link clicks (links leaving this site)
- General location data derived from your IP address (country/region level — not precise location)
- Device type, browser, and operating system
- How you arrived at the site (search engine, direct, referral)
This site does not collect your name, email address, or any information you haven't volunteered. There are no user accounts, contact forms, or comment systems.
Cookies
Google Analytics sets cookies in your browser to distinguish visitors and sessions. These are analytics cookies — they are not used for advertising or cross-site tracking by this site.
How the data is used
Analytics data is used solely to understand which content is useful to readers — which articles are read, how far people scroll, and where traffic comes from. This informs what content to write next. No data is sold or shared with third parties beyond Google's role as the analytics processor.
Google as a data processor
Google LLC processes analytics data on behalf of this site under Google's data processing terms. Google may use this data in accordance with their own privacy policy. You can review Google's privacy policy at policies.google.com/privacy.
Data retention
Analytics data is retained for 14 months, after which it is automatically deleted from Google Analytics.
Your rights
You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites using the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. You can also block analytics cookies through your browser's privacy settings or an ad blocker.
If you are located in the EU/EEA, you have rights under GDPR including the right to access, correct, or request deletion of your personal data. As this site does not collect directly identifiable personal data, most requests would need to be directed to Google via their privacy tools at myaccount.google.com.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes materially, the "last updated" date at the top of this page will be updated. Continued use of the site after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
