Privacy Policy
PIXELFORGE ("we", "us") respects your privacy. This policy explains what data we collect, why, and the choices you have. By using this site you agree to the practices described here.
Information We Collect
- Account data: if you register, we store your username, email address, and a securely hashed password. Optionally, a profile bio and avatar image you choose to add.
- Content you post: comments you submit on guides and reviews, shown publicly with your username.
- Cookies: a sign-in cookie to keep you logged in, and a small preference value recording your cookie-consent choice. See "Cookies" below.
- Basic technical data: standard server logs (e.g., IP address, browser type) used for security and to keep the service running.
How We Use Your Data
- To create and manage your account and keep you signed in.
- To display your comments and profile.
- To send essential account emails (for example, a welcome email on sign-up and a security notification when your password is changed).

We do not sell your personal data.
Cookies
We use only essential cookies needed to keep you signed in and to remember your consent choice. If we introduce advertising (see below), advertising partners may set their own cookies; you can decline non-essential cookies via the banner shown on your first visit, and you can clear cookies any time in your browser settings.
Third-Party Services
- Email delivery: account emails are sent through a third-party email provider (Brevo). Your email address is shared with them only to deliver these messages.
- Hosting: the site and database are hosted on Railway.
- Advertising (when enabled): we may use Google AdSense to display ads. Google and its partners may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. You can opt out of personalised advertising via Google Ads Settings. Learn more in Google's advertising policy.
Your Rights
You can view and edit your profile, change your password, and delete your account at any time from your profile page. Deleting your account removes your personal data and comments. If you are in the EU/EEA (GDPR) or similar jurisdictions, you also have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of your data — contact us to exercise these rights.
