PCder keeps data collection small.

Analytics

PCder uses Google Analytics to understand basic site usage, such as page views, referrers, device type, and general location. The analytics script loads after the page has had time to settle or after a user interaction.

Analytics data helps decide which pages need fixes, which games are popular, and whether a page is slow or hard to use.

Game files

Most games run inside iframe embeds from the PCder domain under /source/. Server Survival loads from its author's website. Some games may store progress or settings in your browser.

PCder also keeps a list of recently opened games in this browser. This list stays on your device and does not save game progress. Use Clear history in the homepage Recently opened section to remove it.

PCder marks /source/ files as noindex because those files are game assets, not editorial pages. An external game may use its own storage and analytics. PCder's Whatajong build removes the original PostHog integration and audio files.

Contact requests

If you contact PCder, the information you send is used to respond to that request. Do not send passwords, payment data, or private documents.

PCder may keep contact messages long enough to resolve source, license, privacy, or abuse questions.

Third-party services

PCder uses Cloudflare for hosting and security, GitHub for source management, and Google Analytics for site measurement. Externally hosted games also connect to their authors' servers.

These services process data under their own policies. PCder does not sell personal information.

Advertising

PCder may show ads if the site is approved for an ad network such as Google AdSense. Ads can use cookies or similar browser storage to measure views, limit repetition, and show more relevant ads.

Game source review and advertising are separate. Ads do not change which open-source games PCder lists or how source notes are written.
