> What gta6.blog collects, which third parties see a request, and how to opt out. No accounts, no advertising, no data sold.

Last updated: 2026-08-24

gta6.blog has no accounts, no login, and no advertising. There is nothing to
sign in to and nothing is sold to anybody. This page describes the two things
that do leave your browser.

## Analytics

The site uses Google Analytics 4 to count visits. This runs only on the live
site, so browsing a local development copy records nothing. It sets Google's
usual first-party cookies, reads the page URL, the page title, the referring
site, and coarse details your browser sends anyway, such as approximate region
and device type. It records four events: a page view, a newsletter signup, a
click on a trailer poster, and the full-screen countdown button.

None of this identifies you by name, and no visitor-level data is exported or
shared. If you would rather not be counted, any content blocker or tracker
blocker will stop the script from loading, and the site is built to work
normally when it is blocked.

## The notify form

If you submit your email address, it is stored by the form provider that backs
that form so an announcement email can be sent to you. It is used for that
single purpose. It is not sold, rented, shared, or used to build a profile, and
every message includes an unsubscribe link. Ask by [contacting the
site](/contact) and the address will be deleted.

## Embedded video

Trailer embeds do not load until you click them. Until that click, your browser
makes no request to YouTube or Google at all, which is the reason the posters
are click-to-load rather than live iframes. Once you click, the embed loads from
youtube-nocookie.com and YouTube's own privacy policy applies to what happens
inside that player.

## Hosting

The site is served by Firebase App Hosting on Google Cloud. Like any web host,
it processes request logs, which include IP addresses, as part of delivering
pages and defending against abuse.

## Changes

If this page changes in a way that affects what is collected, the date at the
top changes with it.
