Privacy Policy
Your privacy is extremely important. Below is our comprehensive privacy policy outlining how we may collect data, our use of cookies, our advertising partnerships, and your regional privacy rights.
1. Information We Collect
scenarios.wtf is built to be a simple, low-friction opinion game. We collect information in the following ways:
- Local Storage: We save your votes locally on your device (in browser `localStorage`) solely to keep track of which scenarios you have already judged and display your history. This data stays on your machine only. There are no user accounts.
- Aggregated Votes: When you submit a vote, we increment the vote count on our database. This is purely aggregate statistics and is not linked to any personal user profiles or IP addresses.
- Voluntary Submissions: If you submit a scenario or sign up for our newsletter, you may optionally provide your email address. We use this address exclusively for the purpose you provided it for.
2. Advertising & Third-Party Cookies
To keep scenarios.wtf free, we may show ads on our platform. We may partner with third-party networks to serve advertisements.
- Google and third-party vendors use cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) to serve ads based on your prior visits to scenarios.wtf or other websites.
- Third-party networks may perform optimization and performance analysis to place and personalize ads. They may collect automated data (such as browser type, operating system, and geolocation metadata) to manage ad inventory.
- You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or www.aboutads.info.
3. Regional Compliance & Privacy Rights

European Union & United Kingdom (GDPR)
If you reside in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom, you have specific rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Information Shared ("Sale" or "Sharing"):
We do not sell your email address. However, allowing third-party ad networks (like Google and Ezoic) to place tracking cookies on your browser for targeted advertising is classified as the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information under California law.
Your Rights:
- Right to Know: You can request to know what categories of personal information we have collected/shared.
- Right to Delete: You can request that we delete any voluntary data (such as emails) you have submitted.
