This page explains how this independent fan site handles information when you read our Stratego guides, interact with the comments section, or choose to load the embedded game. The website is not the official Stratego publisher or developer.

What happens when you visit

Like most websites, the hosting infrastructure may process technical request data such as an IP address, device or browser information, page requested and request time for operation, security and troubleshooting.

We use a website measurement service to understand page visits and events such as starting the game, using fullscreen, liking, sharing and submitting feedback. The site may use browser identifiers or cookies to support analytics and the interaction functions. We do not publish individual visitor analytics.

The third-party game iframe

The external game at stratego.io is not loaded until you press the start button. Once you start it, your browser connects directly to that separate service and may send your IP address and technical browser information to the game provider. The game provider may also use its own cookies, browser storage and network connections for multiplayer gameplay.

That provider operates independently of this website. We cannot control its data collection, server availability or retention rules. Review any information the game provider makes available before sharing personal details in its lobby.

Likes, sharing and comments

The like button may use a browser identifier to remember your choice and prevent repeat voting. If you submit a comment, we collect the display name you choose (if any), the text you enter and technical information necessary to prevent spam and abuse. Comments are reviewed before being published. Once approved, the display name, text and any replies may be visible to other visitors.

Do not post email addresses, payment details, passwords, personal contact information or other sensitive data in comments. Sharing may use your device's native sharing interface or copy the current page URL. If you choose an external sharing platform, that platform has its own privacy practices.

Cookies and browser settings

Some functionality may depend on cookies or local browser storage, including remembering a like or maintaining a session with the external game. You can manage or remove this data through your browser settings. Blocking it may affect matchmaking or other interactive features.

Data retention and removal requests

Operational and interaction information is held for as long as needed for the relevant service, safety and applicable legal requirements. We do not publish a specific retention period unless it has been verified with the service operator. To request removal of a public comment, use the site's moderated feedback section without including sensitive details. A direct private contact channel should be added before this site is launched.

Children and third-party services

Do not provide personal data through comments. If a parent or guardian has concerns about a comment or the third-party game, they should raise them through an appropriate contact channel once available. This site does not control the policies of the embedded game or external sharing platforms.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when services or their handling of data change. The latest version will appear at this URL with an updated date.
