Privacy policy
This policy names every third party this site actually loads, the cookies and browser-storage keys involved, how long they last, and how to turn the optional ones off.
Who we are
The site operator of nx2navi.net, reachable at [email protected]. We do not sell personal data and we do not run a user account system. This is a reading guide for the NX2navi Windows recomp; no game files are hosted here.
What loads, and by default
The default is load-on-first-view, not a gate: a visitor with no stored choice is treated as granted so Google Analytics 4, Microsoft Clarity and Adsterra start with the page. The banner is notice plus a withdraw control. Press Reject and the page removes the three and records the refusal for 180 days; Cookie settings in the footer reopens the same choice. Global Privacy Control is honoured as a refusal even if no banner button was pressed. This site does not use Google AdSense, a popunder, an interstitial, or a Smartlink.
| Name | Purpose | Storage and retention | When it runs |
|---|---|---|---|
| nx2_consent | Remembers Accept or Reject and the 180-day expiry | local storage, 180 days | Written when you press Accept or Reject |
| nx2_ad_closed | Keeps the Adsterra Social Bar closed after you close it | local storage, until you clear site data or press Accept | When the Social Bar is present |
| _ga, _ga_FVJHHFX04X | Google Analytics 4 counts page views and tells return visits apart | first-party cookies, up to 2 years | First page view, unless Reject or GPC |
| _clck, _clsk | Microsoft Clarity groups page views into one heatmap or session recording | first-party cookies, up to 1 year (_clck) and 1 day (_clsk) | First page view, unless Reject or GPC |
| Adsterra and creative-partner cookies | Advertising delivery and frequency capping; names vary by creative | vendor-controlled retention; inspect the vendor policy and browser site-data controls | Default first view, unless Reject or GPC |
| VISITOR_INFO1_LIVE, YSC, PREF and other YouTube cookies | Playback, preferences and measurement inside the YouTube player | set and retained by Google/YouTube | Only after you press a video's play button |
Google Analytics 4
Google Analytics 4 (Google), measurement ID G-FVJHHFX04X. gtag.js loads from www.googletagmanager.com on every page unless Reject or GPC is stored, so Google receives the requested URL, your IP address, user agent and referrer. Consent Mode v2 is declared in the page head: ad_storage, ad_user_data and ad_personalization default to denied while analytics_storage defaults to granted; before measurement configuration, a visit without a stored refusal receives a granted update, and Reject sends an update that denies ad_storage, ad_user_data, ad_personalization and analytics_storage. ads_data_redaction and url_passthrough are on. With analytics granted, GA4 writes _ga and _ga_FVJHHFX04X. Purpose: count page views so thin guides can be found and rewritten. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in aggregate measurement; Reject records an objection.

Microsoft Clarity
Microsoft Clarity (Microsoft), project ID zbdczlqg4w. The loader at www.clarity.ms/tag/zbdczlqg4w is created by this site's own script on the first page view unless Reject or GPC is stored. Its follow-up script and collection requests use scripts.clarity.ms and p.clarity.ms (the collection subdomain may vary). Microsoft then receives the requested URL, your IP address, user agent, referrer, and the interaction data behind heatmaps and session replays: clicks, taps, scrolls, pointer movement and page rendering timings. Clarity stores _clck and _clsk and uses browser storage so one visit groups into one recording. Text typed into form fields and other flagged content is masked by default. Purpose: see which parts of a guide people cannot use. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in improving the site; you may object, ask what was recorded, or request deletion at [email protected]. Microsoft Privacy Statement: https://privacy.microsoft.com/privacystatement .
Adsterra
Adsterra (Adsterra Network LP) serves the advertising through its script host bicea.org. Two placements are configured on website 6189241: a Native Banner, ad unit 32190201 (NativeBanner_1), and a Social Bar, ad unit 32190202 (SocialBar_1), the strip fixed at the bottom of the viewport. Neither invoker script is in the HTML we send: the site's loader creates both on the first page view unless Reject or GPC is stored, so a rejected visit requests nothing from bicea.org. Once loaded, Adsterra receives your IP address, the page URL, referrer, user agent and viewport size, and may set its own cookies on bicea.org or through creative served by its partners, with names and retention varying by creative. Adult advertising is switched off at the Adsterra website level. No popunder, banner or Smartlink format runs here. Purpose: pay for the guides. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in funding the site, with Reject as an objection and, where local law requires consent, the banner as the consent notice. Reject removes the placements and stops later page views from loading them. Adsterra Privacy Policy: https://adsterra.com/privacy-policy/ .
YouTube and other third parties
YouTube (Google). A cited video stays as a locally hosted picture until you press its play button; that click creates the player at www.youtube.com/embed/. YouTube may then contact Google-operated asset, playback, measurement or advertising services and may receive your IP address, browser and device information, referrer and request time, and may set cookies or device storage under Google's retention rules. Purpose: show a cited video. Legal basis: your action in starting the player. Google Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy and YouTube Terms: https://www.youtube.com/t/terms .
No other third-party browser script is loaded by this site. Fonts come from your device. Images are files on this host. Outbound links to GitHub, Discord, YouTube, Nintendo and news sites are ordinary links: their sites' policies apply only after you follow them. If a partner is added later, this table and the loader change in the same release.
Legal basis, rights and retention
- The guide itself is published as our legitimate interest in explaining a public software project.
- Analytics and Clarity run on the legitimate-interest basis described above; Reject records an objection for this browser. Advertising runs on the basis described in the Adsterra section, with Reject as the refusal path.
- The two local-storage keys are preferences you can overwrite or delete; we do not receive a copy on a server. The 180-day clock is stored in nx2_consent itself.
- Vendor cookies are retained for the periods in the table. We cannot read or delete a cookie another domain sets; use your browser's site-data controls or the vendor's own opt-out.
- You can ask for a copy of mail we still have, a correction, or deletion, by emailing [email protected]. You can also complain to your local data-protection authority.
- We do not respond to Do Not Track as a separate signal. Global Privacy Control is the signal this site honours.
Personalized advertising: how to opt out
Adsterra and its creative partners may use interest-based advertising. You can refuse it here with Reject, and you can use industry controls outside this site: Google Ads Settings at https://adssettings.google.com , the Digital Advertising Alliance at https://optout.aboutads.info , Your Online Choices at https://www.youronlinechoices.com , and the Network Advertising Initiative at https://optout.networkadvertising.org . Adsterra's own data-subject routes are in its privacy policy at https://adsterra.com/privacy-policy/ . These are external preference tools, not additional vendors loaded by this page. The configured advertising network is Adsterra, with adult advertising switched off.
Contact and changes
Privacy requests, including what this browser stored, go to [email protected]. Mail is kept long enough to answer and then removed from the mailbox in the ordinary course. Changes to this policy show a new date under the title; the date on this version is 10 Nov 2026.
Questions
Do analytics and ads load before I choose?
Yes. A browser with no stored choice is treated as granted, so Google Analytics 4, Microsoft Clarity and Adsterra start on the first page view. The banner tells you this and stays available. Press Reject and the three are removed; that refusal is stored for 180 days under nx2_consent.
Does Reject really stop them?
Yes for later page views in this browser: the loader reads nx2_consent before it creates any third-party script. Pressing Reject stores the choice, sends a denied consent update, removes the placements and reloads this page with all three vendor loaders disabled. Requests already sent before the click cannot be recalled.
How do I erase the choice?
Use Cookie settings in the footer to choose again, or clear site data for nx2navi.net. You can also email [email protected]. Clearing nx2_consent makes the next visit a fresh one, which is treated as granted again.
Is any of this personalized advertising?
The Adsterra website is set to adult ads off and this site uses only the Native Banner and Social Bar formats, with no popunder, banner or Smartlink unit. Adsterra may still use its own cookies and frequency caps. Opt out of interest-based advertising through the links in the rights section.
Does YouTube load on its own?
No. A video stays as a locally hosted still until you press its play button; the YouTube player is created only by that click. Once it exists, YouTube may set its own cookies under Google's policy.
