Cookies and browser storage
Everything GoffMeta stores in your browser, what each item is for, and the two things that wait for your permission.
In short
What GoffMeta stores keeps you signed in, keeps you safe and remembers choices you made yourself, such as your language and theme. All of it is strictly necessary for the service you asked for, so none of it needs your permission. We use no advertising or tracking cookies.
Two things wait for your permission: Google Analytics, which counts visits and the pages read, and video players from YouTube and Twitch on clip pages. Each sets its own cookies, so we load them only with your explicit consent.
Your choice
You can give or withdraw your consent here at any time; withdrawing it does not affect what was loaded before. Your answer is kept in this browser only, so another browser or device asks again.
Your cookie setting
Clip pages load the provider's player, which sets the provider's cookies and sends data to the provider in the United States. You can change this at any time.

Visit statistics (with your permission)
If you allow analytics, the site loads Google Analytics 4, a service of Google Ireland Limited / Google LLC. It counts visits and the pages read — the page address without anything after it, the page title, the address of the page you came from (without anything after it), your browser, device type, screen size, language and an approximate location derived from your IP address — so we can see which pages are useful and what to improve. We send no account, no name and no search term, and Google signals and ad features are switched off. Google processes the data in the United States. We keep the reports for two months; the cookies below expire after the same time. Withdrawing consent stops the counting at once and deletes these cookies.
| Name | Kind | What it does | How long |

| _ga_<stream id> | Cookie, set by Google Analytics | Keeps the current visit together | Two months |

Video players (with your permission)
Clip pages can play videos from YouTube (Google) and Twitch. If you allow it, the player loads from the provider, which can set cookies and read your IP address and browser details, including for its own purposes, and send that data to the provider in the United States. Their policies apply: Google and Twitch.
Until you allow it, a clip shows a cover with a button instead of the player, and nothing is loaded from the provider. Clip thumbnails, avatars and pictures you upload are served from our own servers. Game art (item, skill and class images) is loaded from the image servers of the games' publishers (for example NCSOFT and Steam); those requests set no cookies.
Clearing it
Your browser's settings let you delete cookies and site data at any time. If you delete the items needed for the site to work, you will be signed out. More about how we use personal data is in the privacy policy.
