What the site stores on your device
The reading theme and saved-guide list use your browser's local storage. The keys are rd-theme and rd-bookmarks. These preferences stay in that browser; they do not create an account or synchronize between devices.
Search runs in your browser against a bundled index. The query also appears in the search-page URL so you can reload or share it. Filters work the same way. This release does not send search terms to a separate search provider.
This resets the two preferences above. You can also remove them in your browser's site-data settings.
Cookies, analytics and advertising
This release does not set advertising or analytics cookies and does not include a third-party analytics or advertising script. Fonts are served with the site.
Hosting and requests
When you request a page, its hosting service receives ordinary connection data such as your IP address, browser information and requested URL. Search query parameters may be part of that URL.
This site is hosted by Cloudflare. Read the hosting provider's privacy notice ↗ for its processing practices.
External sites and email
Links to Steam, the Factorio Wiki, Moon Sweepers Hub, itch.io and YouTube open sites with their own privacy practices. Suzy Says! walkthroughs use YouTube’s privacy-enhanced embedded players at youtube-nocookie.com. Loading a player connects your browser to YouTube; playing it is subject toGoogle’s privacy policy ↗.
The free-download button asks our server to open an anonymous itch.io download session and redirects you to the official file page. We do not forward your browser cookies or store the anonymous session or its temporary download link. Once redirected, itch.io handles the file download under its own privacy practices.
If you email us, your email provider, Cloudflare Email Routing and our receiving mailbox process the message and its contents. ReadCloudflare’s privacy policy ↗. Send only the information needed to explain the issue.
