About this site

Under Canopies guide site privacy policy

This policy explains the services used by this independent guide site.

Updated 2026-11-02

Hosting and ordinary requests

Your browser sends the information needed to request a page or asset to the site's hosting provider, including your IP address, browser headers and requested URL. We do not provide a visitor account or ask for game passwords.

Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand visits and guide navigation, and Microsoft Clarity to understand page interactions through heatmaps and session recordings. These services receive technical request information when they load. Advertising storage, ad user data and ad personalization are denied by our shared analytics setup.

Where our site requests consent, these two services wait for your choice. A saved rejection takes priority. You can open Cookie settings in the footer to accept or reject analytics, or withdraw a previous choice. A choice is stored in your browser for up to one year; our country check stores only a country code in session storage.

Backup traffic measurement

A separate Plausible script supplied by Shipsolo measures traffic to undercanopies.sbs as a backup to the main analytics setup. It is installed on our pages independently of the Google Analytics and Clarity preference control. We use it to check that real visits reach this site; it does not add an advertising network.

YouTube videos

YouTube players load when you choose to play a video. Playing connects your browser to YouTube and Google, which may process information under their own privacy policies. You can read the guides without playing a video.

Advertising

This site does not use an advertising network.
