Privacy Policy

Quick Answer

In plain language: we use Google Analytics to understand how the site is used, and we may show ads through Google AdSense. Both can set cookies. Our progress trackers save your data only in your own browser — it is never sent to us. This policy explains the details and your choices.

Last updated: June 2026. This Privacy Policy describes how the Ocarina of Time Wiki ("we", "us", "the site") handles information when you visit. By using the site you agree to the practices described here.

Information we collect

Analytics data. We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to collect aggregated, non-identifying usage data such as pages visited, approximate location (country/region), device and browser type, referring site and time on page. We use this to understand traffic and improve content.
Advertising data. We may display ads served by Google AdSense and its partners. These third parties may collect data to serve and measure ads (see "Advertising" below).
Local progress data. Our interactive trackers (Gold Skulltula Tracker, Heart Piece Tracker and 100% Completion Checklist) save what you have checked off using your browser's localStorage.

We do not ask for or store names, email addresses or account credentials, except for any information you choose to send us directly by email.

The policy in detail

Cookies and local storage: Cookies are small files stored by your browser. We and our third-party providers use them for analytics and advertising. Our trackers additionally use localStorage, which keeps your completion progress on your own device. You can clear cookies and local storage at any time through your browser settings; clearing local storage will reset your tracker progress.
Analytics: Google Analytics processes the usage data above on our behalf. You can opt out of Google Analytics across all sites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Advertising: Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you. You can manage personalized advertising via Google Ads Settings and learn more at Google's advertising policy. Users in the EEA, UK and other regions may be shown a consent prompt where required by law.
Your rights and choices: Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct or delete personal data, and to object to certain processing. Because we do not maintain user accounts, most data is either anonymized analytics or stored only on your own device, which you control directly. For any request, contact us using the details below.

Frequently Asked Questions

What data is collected?

Aggregated, non-identifying analytics (pages viewed, approximate region, device/browser, referrer) via Google Analytics. We do not collect names, emails or accounts unless you email us directly.

Do you use cookies?

Yes — cookies are used for analytics and, where ads are shown, for advertising. You can clear or block cookies in your browser settings at any time.

How is analytics used?

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how the site is used and to improve it. You can opt out site-wide with the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Do the trackers send my progress anywhere?

No. The Skulltula, Heart Piece and 100% trackers save your progress only in your browser using localStorage. That data stays on your device and is never transmitted to us.

Do you show ads?

We may display ads through Google AdSense. Google and its partners may use cookies to serve and measure ads; you can manage personalized advertising in your Google Ads Settings.
