Ads and localStorage

Advertising

This site may show Google AdSense display banners in three placements only: a leaderboard under the header, an optional mid-content rectangle on tool pages, and a footer banner. Ads are labeled “Ad” and kept visually secondary. We do not run popups, popunders, interstitials, forced redirects, sticky full-screen takeovers, or autoplay audio.

Google AdSense may use cookies or similar identifiers to measure traffic and, where allowed, to show personalized ads based on your activity on this site and others. You can review or opt out of personalized Google ads at Google Ad Settings. Google’s advertising policy overview is at How Google uses cookies in advertising.

The AdSense client script loads site-wide for verification. Until display-unit slot IDs are configured (and the account is approved), you only see labeled WardogsTrackerplaceholders so the layout stays stable.

Local storage

The Bank and XP tracker write JSON to your browser’s localStorage under keys prefixed with wardogskit. If we notice a common ad blocker, a one-time ask may use session storage (dismiss for the visit) or local storage (“Don’t ask again”). That data never leaves your device unless you copy it. Clearing site data, using another browser, or blocking storage will reset trackers and the ad-nudge preference. There is no account, no live username lookup, and no server-side player database in v1.

What we do not collect

This static/hobby deployment does not require a login. Hosting (Vercel) will process normal request logs (IP, user agent) as any website does. We do not ask for Steam IDs, emails, or payment details.
