Dumpster Gang HQ

Privacy policy

Last updated 31 August 2026.

Who we are

Dumpster Gang HQ is an independent, fan-made reference site about the game Dumpster Gang. This policy covers dumpstergang.online.

What we collect directly

Nothing. There are no accounts, no logins, no comment system, no newsletter form and no contact form on this site. It is a set of static pages served from a CDN, so there is no server here that could store anything about you even if it wanted to.

Analytics

Two third-party tools are loaded so we can see which pages are useful and where people get stuck. Both set cookies or use similar browser storage.

  • Google Analytics 4 reports which pages were viewed, roughly where in the world the visit came from, what kind of device it was, and which site or search engine referred you. To do that it assigns your browser a random identifier and sends that data to Google, so while we never upload names, emails or anything you type, the data Google receives is not purely anonymous. It is configured with a property dedicated to this site alone, and we do not use it to identify individuals.
  • Microsoft Clarity records how pages are used — scrolling, clicks, and a replay of the session so we can see where a page confuses people. Those recordings go to Microsoft, which processes them as a joint controller of that data. Clarity runs in its default masking mode, which hides text it classifies as sensitive rather than every word on the page; since this site has no forms, no login and no field to type into, there is nothing here for you to enter that could be captured. We do not use it to work out who you are. Microsoft describes what it captures in its own privacy statement.

Both load as soon as a page opens; this site does not show a consent banner, and it does not ask permission before loading them. Both can be blocked with any standard content blocker and the site works identically with them blocked — nothing here is gated behind analytics loading.

Cookies and advertising

This site carries advertising, which is what pays for it. The ads are served by Adsterra, currently the only ad network on the site. Each ad loads inside its own frame, in one of three places: a banner partway down an article, a block of sponsored links below it, and a strip pinned to the bottom of the screen on phones. None of them appear on this page or the other legal and contact pages. There are no pop-ups, pop-unders or overlays.

Adsterra and the advertisers it sells to may set cookies, and may use them together with your IP address, device and browser to decide which ad to show and to count whether you saw or clicked it. We do not receive any of that data — what comes back to us is a count of impressions and earnings, with no way to tie either to a person.

  • You can opt out of a third-party vendor’s use of cookies for personalised advertising at aboutads.info/choices.
  • Any content blocker stops the ads outright. Every page stays fully readable with them blocked; nothing here is gated behind an ad.
  • Vendors we have no contract with may also place cookies through ad exchanges further down the chain. Their use is governed by their own policies, which we do not control.

The only browser storage the site uses on its own behalf is a single value remembering whether you chose the light or dark theme, which stays in your browser and is never sent anywhere.

Embedded video

Trailer embeds do not load the YouTube player until you click play. They do load a still image from i.ytimg.com, which is a Google-operated domain, so viewing a page with a trailer on it does make one image request to Google even if you never press play. Pressing play loads the player from YouTube’s no-cookie domain, and from that point YouTube’s own privacy policy applies.

What we never do

  • Sell visitor data, or share it with anyone beyond the two analytics providers named above.
  • Build profiles of individual visitors.
  • Ask for your email, name or any other personal detail.
  • Run retargeting pixels of our own, or sell visitor data to advertisers.

Your choices

Use a content blocker or your browser’s tracking protection and both analytics tools stop loading. You can also opt out of Google Analytics with Google’s browser add-on. Clearing site data in your browser removes the theme preference and the analytics cookies.

Changes

If this site adds a contact form or any other tool that handles visitor data, or changes ad networks, this page changes at the same time. The date at the top reflects the last revision.
