WHAT LEAVES YOUR BROWSER.
No accounts. Free to use, paid for by ads from Google. This page says exactly what leaves your browser, what the ads do and how to say no. Last updated: .
01 / the basics
NO ACCOUNTS. ADS BY GOOGLE.
- There is nothing to sign up for and nothing to log in to.
- We set no cookies of our own. Google’s ad code can set cookies and similar identifiers; section 08 explains when, and how to refuse.
- Ads are served by Google AdSense. In the EU, EEA, UK and Switzerland, Google’s consent message asks you first, and personalised ads only run if you agree.
- Apart from Google’s ad and consent code, the page talks only to this site. No other company’s fonts, scripts or trackers load in your browser.
02 / usage stats
ANONYMOUS COUNTS, NOTHING ELSE.
To know which pages and features get used, the site sends small anonymous counts to its own server. Each one is a page name (home, cut, circuit) or an action name (such as "search"), with the referring site, a device class (phone, tablet, desktop), a browser family, a two-letter language, page-load time and how many seconds the tab was active. Cloudflare adds a coarse country. That is the whole list.
- No IP address, cookie, visitor ID or fingerprint is stored, and the counts cannot be tied back to a person.
- If your browser sends Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track, nothing is sent at all.
- Your browser keeps one yes/no flag in its local storage (have you loaded a page here before) so a view counts as new or returning. It is not an identifier; clearing site data resets it.
- If you pick a language, your browser remembers that choice in its local storage too. It is not an identifier either, and it never sends you to another page on its own.
- Stats are kept as aggregate counts in Cloudflare Analytics Engine and looked at by the developer only.
03 / name search
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU SEARCH A NAME.
A name you type into the gap calculator or the eligibility check goes to our server for one purpose: to ask rotk.app's public leaderboard search and hand you the answer. It is not logged, not stored and not counted in the usage stats. A copy of rotk.app's answer may sit in Cloudflare's cache for up to a minute so a repeat lookup does not hit their servers twice.
The name appears in your own address bar after a search (for example /cut?name=…) so you can bookmark or share the result. Browser history is yours; we do not see it.
04 / hosting
HOSTED ON CLOUDFLARE.
The site runs on Cloudflare Workers. To deliver pages and block abuse, Cloudflare processes the connection details every web request carries, including your IP address, under Cloudflare's privacy policy. We do not receive, log or keep that address; the only things we store are the leaderboard snapshots, the anonymous counts above and the messages you choose to send through the contact form (section 06).
05 / third-party data
THE LADDER BELONGS TO ROTK.APP.
Player names, ranks, scores and last-played times shown here are public leaderboard data from rotk.app, displayed as published. To change or remove what appears about you, change it in the game; our snapshots follow within five minutes and old snapshots age out on their own. Event details belong to their publishers and link back to them.
06 / contact
QUESTIONS.
Anything unclear, or something here you disagree with: use the contact form. Changes to this policy are dated at the top of the page.
A message sent through the contact form is stored so it can be acted on: the text you typed, the kind you picked, the optional name and the page you came from. No IP address, email or other identifier is stored with it, and it is deleted once it has been handled.
07 / disclaimer
DISCLAIMER.
Unofficial fan site, provided as is, with no warranty. Not affiliated with the ROTK team, AyeZee or Daybreak Game Company. Live data belongs to rotk.app; event details belong to their publishers. H1Z1 is a trademark of Daybreak Game Company LLC. Qualification, rewards and eligibility are decided by the organisers alone; nothing here changes that.
08 / ads and cookies
ADS AND COOKIES.
Ads on this site are served by Google AdSense. Google and its partners use cookies and similar identifiers to show ads, limit how often you see them, measure them and fight fraud. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.
In the EU, EEA, UK and Switzerland, Google’s consent message (a Google-certified consent tool) asks before any of that is stored on or read from your device. If you say no, you may still see ads that are not based on your browsing. In US states with privacy laws, the same message lets you opt out of personalised ads.
Change or withdraw your choice at any time with “Privacy settings” at the bottom of every page.
How Google uses this data: how Google uses information from sites that use its services. Turn off personalised ads from Google in My Ad Center, and from many other ad companies at youronlinechoices.eu or aboutads.info.
Our own usage counts do not change with ads: no cookies, no identifiers, and nothing sent when your browser sends Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track (section 02).
