Introduction

This Privacy Policy applies to the website marvalcosmicinvasion.com, referred to throughout this document as “this site,” “we,” “us,” or “our.” We are committed to being transparent about how data is handled in connection with your visits to this site. This policy describes what information is collected, how it is used, who it may be shared with, and what choices you have regarding your data.

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully before using this site. By accessing or using marvalcosmicinvasion.com, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this policy and agree to its terms. If you do not agree with any part of this Privacy Policy, please stop using this site.

This site is operated as an independent fan guide resource and is not affiliated with Marvel Entertainment LLC, Tribute Games Inc., or Dotemu. This Privacy Policy covers only the data practices of marvalcosmicinvasion.com. Any external website you reach through a link on this site is governed by its own privacy policy, not ours.

Information We Collect

Information You Provide Directly

This site does not require account registration, login, or subscription of any kind. We do not ask visitors to provide their name, email address, phone number, or any other personal information simply to use the site or access any of its content. All guides, articles, and resources on this site are freely accessible without providing any personal data.

The only circumstance in which we receive information you provide directly is when you choose to contact us through our contact page. In that case, any information included in your message, such as your name or email address, is used solely to respond to your inquiry. We do not add contact form submissions to mailing lists, share them with third parties, or use them for any purpose beyond responding to your specific question or comment.

Automatically Collected Technical Information

When you visit this site, certain technical information is automatically collected through standard web server logs and through the third-party services we use. This information is collected to help us understand how the site is being used and to serve relevant advertisements. The types of automatically collected information include:

• Your approximate geographic location at the country or city level, based on your IP address. This is not a precise location and does not identify your home or workplace address.
• The type of device you are using, such as desktop computer, laptop, smartphone, or tablet.
• Your operating system and browser type and version.
• The pages on this site that you visit, the order in which you visit them, and how much time you spend on each page.
• The website or search engine that referred you to this site, if any.
• Your Internet Protocol (IP) address, which is logged by web servers as part of standard internet communication. This is handled by our hosting provider and by Google Analytics, not stored or processed directly by us.

Log Data

Our web hosting provider automatically maintains server log files that record basic technical information about each request made to the site. This includes the date and time of the request, the URL requested, the HTTP status code returned, and the IP address from which the request was made. These logs are used for server maintenance, security monitoring, and diagnosing technical errors. We do not use log data to identify or track individual visitors.

Google Analytics

This site uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to help us understand how visitors use the site. Google Analytics collects information about your visits, including which pages you view, how long you spend on the site, what device and browser you use, and how you arrived at the site. This data is aggregated and presented to us in the form of reports and statistics that show overall usage patterns, not the behavior of individual identifiable visitors.

Google Analytics places cookies on your device to distinguish between new and returning visits, to track sessions, and to measure engagement across pages. The data collected by Google Analytics is processed by Google on their servers. Google may also associate this analytics data with other information that Google holds about you if you are signed into a Google account while visiting this site. We have no control over or access to this association.

We use the data from Google Analytics to understand which topics and guides are most useful to players, to identify pages that may have technical problems, and to make informed decisions about what content to add or improve. We do not use Google Analytics to identify individual visitors or to collect any personally identifiable information ourselves.

Opting Out of Google Analytics

You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting data about your visits to this site by installing the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on, which is available for all major browsers. You can also adjust your Google account’s privacy settings at myaccount.google.com. For full details on how Google handles data collected through Analytics, refer to Google’s Privacy Policy.

Google AdSense and Third-Party Advertising

This site displays advertisements through Google AdSense, an advertising platform operated by Google LLC. Google AdSense allows us to earn revenue by displaying ads that are served automatically based on the content of each page and the inferred interests of each visitor. This revenue helps us cover the costs of operating the site and creating new content.

To serve relevant advertisements, Google AdSense uses cookies, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies to collect data about your browsing behavior across websites. This may include websites you have visited previously, searches you have conducted, content you have engaged with, and other signals that Google uses to infer your interests and serve ads it considers relevant to you. This practice is commonly known as interest-based or behavioral advertising.

We do not directly collect or have access to the data that Google AdSense gathers for advertising purposes. Google operates its advertising systems under its own data practices and privacy policies, and it is subject to applicable advertising laws and industry frameworks including the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) standards, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in Europe, and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) in the United States.

Your Choices Regarding Advertising

You have meaningful control over how your data is used for advertising purposes. The following resources allow you to review and adjust your advertising preferences:

• Visit Google’s Ad Settings to review and control the interests Google has inferred about you and to opt out of personalized advertising from Google.
• Visit the Digital Advertising Alliance Consumer Choice Page to opt out of interest-based advertising from member advertising networks.
• Visit the Network Advertising Initiative Opt-Out Page to opt out of targeted advertising from NAI member companies.
• If you are in the European Union, you may also manage your consent through the Transparency and Consent Framework (TCF) consent management tools that appear when you first visit a site with Google AdSense.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the website or third-party services to recognize your browser and remember certain information about your visit. This site does not place any first-party cookies directly. However, the third-party services integrated into this site, namely Google Analytics and Google AdSense, do place cookies on your device.

Types of Cookies Used on This Site

• Analytics cookies (placed by Google Analytics): These cookies collect information about how visitors use the site, including which pages are most visited and whether visitors encounter any error messages. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and anonymous.
• Advertising cookies (placed by Google AdSense): These cookies are used to make advertisements more relevant to you by building a profile of your interests based on your browsing activity. They also prevent the same ad from being shown to you too many times and help Google measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.

Managing and Controlling Cookies

You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings. All major browsers, including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, and Microsoft Edge, provide options to view and delete existing cookies, block specific cookies or all cookies from being set, and receive a notification when a cookie is about to be placed. Please be aware that disabling advertising cookies will cause ads displayed on this site to become less relevant to your interests, but will not remove the ads themselves.

How We Use Information

The information collected in connection with this site is used for the following specific purposes:

• To improve the site’s content and structure. Analytics data helps us identify which guides are most useful, which topics players search for most often, and which pages may need to be improved or expanded.
• To maintain and monitor the technical health of the site. Server logs help us identify errors, diagnose performance issues, and keep the site running properly.
• To serve advertisements. Google AdSense uses visitor data to display ads. This generates the revenue that allows us to keep the site free for all visitors.

We do not sell, rent, trade, or otherwise share any visitor data with third parties for their own marketing purposes. We do not use data collected through this site to build personal profiles, to engage in direct marketing, or for any purpose not described in this Privacy Policy.
