Card Games Starting With M privacy policy at a glance

Four data paths: finder inputs stay in your browser; Cloudflare delivers pages and images; Google Analytics receives page views and fixed interaction labels only after permission; voluntary email and external links use their own providers.
Analytics choices apply to Google Analytics. Page delivery and services you choose to open have separate data flows.

This page describes the site’s implemented controls. It does not promise that a browser choice deletes data already received by a provider or controls unrelated services you open through external links.

The finder and clipboard

Your player count, deck choice and play-style selection are processed locally. We do not send those inputs, matching results, free text or clipboard content to Google Analytics. The finder has no account system, server-side search submission or saved selection history.

The copy button writes the displayed game links to your clipboard only when you use it. It does not read your existing clipboard. If automatic copying fails, the page provides text you can select and copy yourself. Reloading clears the page’s working selection state, although browser form-restoration features may restore control values independently.

Optional Google Analytics

Google Analytics 4 loads only after you choose “Allow analytics”. Before a choice, or after “Essential only”, our implementation does not load the Google Analytics tag or send its analytics events. Reading guides, following rule links and using the finder do not require analytics permission.

When enabled, measurement is limited to page views and a small set of guide, rule-link and finder interaction events. Labels use fixed game or link identifiers. Query strings and fragments are removed from the page and referrer values we send. Tool selections, copied text, email contents and game-account details are not included in our event parameters.

Google may process technical information needed for its service, including network and device information, and set analytics cookies. Its processing is described in Google’s privacy policy. An analytics choice on this site does not change your Google Account settings or recall requests that have already been sent.

Changing and remembering your choice

Open “Analytics choices” in the footer to allow analytics or return to essential only. Withdrawal stops new site analytics activity, clears Google Analytics cookies accessible to this website and refreshes the page to remove the loaded tag. A request already sent or in progress cannot be recalled by that action.

A small local-storage record remembers the choice on this origin for up to 180 days. Analytics cookies are configured with a 365-day expiry when analytics is allowed; your browser may impose its own limits. Same-origin tabs synchronize choice changes when browser storage events are available. A separate preview domain, another browser or another device does not share this record.

If storage is blocked or unavailable, a choice can apply only to the current visit and may be requested again. Clearing this website’s browser data also removes the stored choice; the next visit starts without an analytics opt-in. Clearing local data does not delete data previously held by Google or a hosting provider. Browser privacy features or network errors may prevent analytics from loading even after permission.

Hosting, images and delivery scripts

Cloudflare Pages delivers the website and R2 serves its original image assets. These requests involve technical connection data and may involve security logs under Cloudflare’s processes. Read Cloudflare’s privacy policy for that provider’s practices.

Cloudflare may rewrite a displayed email address and add a small script to decode it in the browser. That delivery feature is separate from the Google Analytics choice. The choice controls our analytics implementation, rather than the connections and delivery features used to display the website. We do not claim control over all provider logs or a universal retention period for them.

Email and external websites

If you send an email, your email service and the services used to route or deliver it process the message. If it reaches us, we use the content and return address to address the request. Do not include passwords, payment details or unnecessary sensitive information. Opening the email link alone does not send a message or confirm delivery.

Publisher rules and other external links lead to third-party services with their own policies. This website does not control their cookies, storage or data handling. Review the destination’s policy before sharing information there.

Advertising, questions and changes

No advertising code is currently installed, and this site does not intentionally set advertising cookies. An advertising readiness review does not mean advertisements are running. If we introduce a service that changes these practices, we will update this policy and the relevant controls before enabling it.

For a privacy concern, follow the contact instructions and identify the page and issue without including confidential data. We do not offer a site control that deletes every record a third party may already hold. Read the terms of use and editorial standards for the website’s other practical boundaries. Revisions to this policy will show their effective date here.
