Privacy Policy & Cookie Controls — Humankind 2 Wiki

This Privacy Policy explains how Humankind 2 Wiki ("we", "us", or "our") handles technical and analytical information when you browse our Humankind 2 strategy encyclopedia at https://humankind-2.wiki/.

1. Static Architecture & Zero Account Collection

Humankind 2 Wiki is a purely static reference website deployed on Cloudflare Pages. We do not operate user registration databases, login portals, or payment forms. You can read every strategy guide, culture progression tree, and 4X mechanics breakdown without submitting your name, email address, or Steam credentials.

2. Third-Party Services & Cookie Consent Gate

To keep this encyclopedia fast, free, and continuously updated across all 6 historical eras of Humankind 2, we rely on a minimal set of reputable infrastructure and optional analytics/advertising services:

• Cloudflare Pages & Web Analytics: Our hosting and edge CDN provider processes standard HTTP request headers (such as IP address and user-agent string) to deliver pages securely and mitigate automated DDoS traffic. Cloudflare Web Analytics uses cookieless, aggregate beacon metrics without cross-site tracking.
• Google Analytics 4 (Consent-Gated): When enabled and accepted via our on-screen cookie banner, Google Analytics collects anonymized page-view and navigation metrics so we know which Humankind 2 guides and culture trees require deeper coverage. If you decline the consent banner, Google Analytics scripts remain uninitialized.
• Advertising Partners (Google AdSense / Adsterra): When ad slots are active, third-party ad networks may set cookies or read device identifiers to serve contextual or personalized gaming advertisements. You can manage personalized ad preferences at any time through Google Ad Settings or your browser privacy controls.
• Privacy-Enhanced YouTube Embeds (youtube-nocookie.com): Pages featuring official AMPLITUDE Studios walkthroughs — such as our Release Date & Gameplay Overview — display a static preview image first. The YouTube player only loads from youtube-nocookie.com after you explicitly click Play.

3. Local Browser Storage

We use your browser localStorage strictly to remember user-interface preferences: your chosen visual theme (Light Parchment, Dark Obsidian, or AMOLED Black) and your cookie consent choice. This data never leaves your device.

4. Children Privacy & Policy Updates

Humankind 2 Wiki is a general-audience strategy gaming resource and does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Any future revisions to this Privacy Policy will be published on this page with an updated verification timestamp. For privacy inquiries, please reach us via our Contact page.
