Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 to count visits and see which pages are read. It sets cookies and sends your shortened IP address, browser and device type, pages viewed and referring site to Google LLC, which processes them for us under the Google Ads Data Processing Terms; Google may transfer data to the United States under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework. Advertising features, Google Signals and ad personalization are switched off, and we do not share Analytics data with Google for its own products.
If you visit from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, Analytics only runs after you choose Accept on the notice at the bottom of the page; the legal basis is your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), which you can withdraw by clearing the site's data in your browser, after which the notice appears again. To know whether to show the notice, the page asks our server once whether your connection comes from one of those regions; the answer is a yes or no and nothing about you is stored. Elsewhere, Analytics runs on our legitimate interest in knowing how the sites are used (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Google's own description is at How Google uses information from sites that use its services, and the Google Analytics opt-out add-on blocks it in any browser.
We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies, and we do not build profiles of readers. Guide-to-game links carry only the public guide hostname. With analytics permitted, we count clicks on those links. Sites without a separate measurement stream use the Official Cannabis network stream; no browser identifier is shared between domains.
What stays in your browser
The guide and publisher sites keep browser preferences for the age notice, analytics choice, light or dark mode and shop cart. You can clear them in your browser settings at any time.
Strain Deck game
Optional gameplay analytics runs only when you enable analytics in Me. It counts entry, completed hands you participated in, and accepted Poker Day interest registrations using a random browser-session identifier, public referring guide hostname and game variant. It never includes your account identifier, email, cards, table chat or balances. Analytics cookies for this gameplay measurement expire when the browser session ends. Turning the setting off stops new gameplay events.
Strain Deck uses a practice-session cookie that expires after 14 days. It is restricted to the game path, is not accessible to page scripts and uses the Secure attribute on HTTPS. We store your age attestation, selected country, game preferences, free chip ledger and private practice hand history in Cloudflare Durable Objects. The game checks the country supplied by Cloudflare; human tables and prize claims additionally require an approved location-verification service before they can open.
Optional account sign-in is provided by Clerk. Clerk processes the email address and authentication data you provide. A signed-in game account uses its Clerk identifier to store its Album, achievements, free chips and account preferences. Social features store accepted friend connections, wishlists, preset postcards and abuse reports. Public standings use an anonymous label unless you choose to show your display name.
An offline Album may save your collection progress and earned cosmetics in this browser. It does not save your account identifier, email, chip balance or private hand history. Game API responses and WebSocket traffic are excluded from the offline cache.
If you enable browser notifications, the game stores that browser's push subscription and the reminder categories you choose. A push subscription contains a delivery endpoint and encryption keys; it does not provide access to your browser. You can remove the current browser or disable notifications on every device from Me → Notifications. Notifications are optional and require your browser's permission.
In Me, you can export the current game account data or delete the browser's practice data and associated practice-table histories. Deleting practice data does not delete a Clerk account or a signed-in game account. For deletion or access requests concerning a signed-in account, use the contact below. Prize verification and shipping are closed; provider-specific disclosures and retention terms must be published before those services open. Identity-document images and shipping addresses are not accepted by the current game API.
Hosting
Our sites run on Cloudflare. To deliver pages and block abuse, Cloudflare processes technical request data such as your IP address, browser type and the page requested, as described in Cloudflare's privacy policy. We may look at short-lived request logs (time, page, status, country) to fix errors. Our legal basis is our legitimate interest in running secure, working websites (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

Your rights
Under the GDPR you can ask for access to, correction of, or deletion of personal data we hold about you, object to processing, and complain to a data protection supervisory authority. To make a request, email editorial@officialcannabis.net.
