• Automatically Collected Information: When you visit tabbed.pro, certain information is automatically collected by our analytics tools and web server logs. This may include your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, pages viewed, and the date and time of your visit. This data is aggregated and anonymized where possible.
• Cookies and Similar Technologies: We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience, analyze site traffic, and understand where our audience comes from. You can control the use of cookies through your browser settings.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• To operate and maintain our blog, including publishing articles about game design.
• To respond to your inquiries submitted through our contact form.
• To manage and display comments on our blog posts.
• To analyze how visitors interact with our Website, so we can improve content and user experience.
• To monitor and prevent abuse, spam, or other potentially illegal activities.

Contact Forms

When you submit a message through our contact form, we collect your name, email address, and the content of your message. We use this information solely to respond to your inquiry. We do not use this information for marketing purposes unless you explicitly opt in. Contact form submissions are stored securely and retained only as long as necessary to address your request or for legitimate business purposes.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on our blog, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection. An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment. We reserve the right to moderate, edit, or delete comments that violate our policies or are deemed inappropriate.

Cookies

We use cookies for the following purposes:

• Essential Cookies: Necessary for the basic functionality of the Website, such as remembering your cookie preferences.
• Analytics Cookies: Help us understand how visitors use our site by collecting anonymous information about page visits and traffic sources. This data helps us improve our content.
• Comment Preference Cookies: If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

You have the right to choose whether to accept cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. However, this may prevent you from taking full advantage of the Website.

Basic Analytics

We use basic analytics tools to collect anonymous information about how visitors interact with our Website. This includes page views, time spent on pages, browser types, and geographic location (at the country or city level). This data is aggregated and does not personally identify you. We use this information to understand our audience better and to improve the relevance and quality of our game design articles. We do not sell or share this data with third parties for their own marketing purposes.

How We Protect Your Information

We implement reasonable technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Third-Party Links

Our blog may contain links to external websites, such as articles, game design resources, or tools. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these third-party sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any external sites you visit.

Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by law. Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely so that we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue. Contact form submissions are retained for a reasonable period to address your inquiry and for record-keeping purposes.

• Access: You may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
