Privacy ยท Updated 18 October 2026
No accounts, cookies, ads or cross-site tracking. The site counts visits with Cloudflare Web Analytics and a self-hosted copy of Umami; neither uses cookies or identifies individuals.
Analytics
On grandshelt.com we use Cloudflare Web Analytics. It reports aggregate figures such as page views and visits, along with referring sites, countries, browser and device types, and page-load speed. Cloudflare states that it does not use cookies or local storage and does not fingerprint visitors using their IP addresses or user agents. We do not see IP addresses and cannot identify you from these reports.
We also run Umami, an open-source analytics tool we host ourselves at stats.raiansar.com. It records page views, referring sites, browser, operating system, device type and country, plus clicks on store links, Amazon links and links to the editions guide (which link was clicked and on which page). Umami states that its tracking code uses no cookies and that it collects no personally identifiable information.
Hosting
The site is served by Cloudflare. To deliver pages and protect the site from abuse, Cloudflare processes your IP address and request details under its own privacy policy. We do not keep our own request logs.
Cookies and storage
The site sets no cookies and stores nothing in your browser's local storage.
Links to other sites
Links to Square Enix, Steam, the console stores and other sites take you to pages with their own privacy policies.
If you email hello@grandshelt.com, your message and address are kept in that inbox so we can reply. We do not add your address to any mailing list.
Advertising and affiliates
The site has no ads. As an Amazon Associate, Grandshelt earns from qualifying purchases, and carries affiliate links on the editions page, the home page and some guide pages to the physical PS5, Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 editions, at no extra cost to you. Amazon may set its own cookies and collect data when you follow one of those links, under Amazon's own privacy policy; we do not receive or store any personal data from that click. Each link is marked with a visible disclosure and a sponsored attribute.
