PRIVACY / PLAIN LANGUAGE

Small stats.
No surveillance.

Tobias Builds measures just enough anonymous activity to learn which games are useful and where play becomes confusing. There are no advertising trackers, analytics cookies or personal profiles.

LAST UPDATED · 28 AUGUST 2026

What is recorded

  • Page path, hostname, time, page title and referrer domain.
  • Browser, operating system, broad device type, language and country.
  • Controlled actions such as opening a project or daily challenge.
  • Game signals such as level, outcome and active play seconds.

What is not recorded

  • No names, email addresses, messages or form text.
  • No URL searches/fragments, full referrer paths or exact location.
  • No advertising IDs, cross-device ID or account identity.
  • No session replay, heatmaps, mouse movement or keystrokes.

Anonymous visitors

Umami briefly processes IP address, user agent and website ID to make an anonymous session hash. The raw IP and raw user agent are not stored. The salt changes every day, so the identifier cannot follow somebody into another day. City, region and any distinct ID are removed before database storage.

Cookies and local storage

The analytics tracker uses neither cookies nor localStorage and respects the browser's Do Not Track setting. First-party functional storage may remember language and daily-game progress on your device. It is not used for advertising or analytics identity, so Tobias Builds does not show a tracking-cookie consent banner.

Purpose and legal basis

The purpose is to understand anonymous reach, improve games and find levels where players get stuck. Tobias Builds relies on legitimate interest for this limited measurement, balanced by daily rotation, minimised fields, self-hosting, short retention and an opt-out.

Storage and retention

Raw analytics stays in PostgreSQL on a self-hosted Raspberry Pi and is removed after 365 days. Validated backups are kept for 30 days. Aggregated totals without session identifiers may be kept longer. Cloudflare delivers the public site and protected tunnel; Google Fonts supplies the page fonts. Analytics data is not sold or shared for advertising.

Accounts

The Tobias Builds homepage and browser games measured here have no registered user accounts. Visitor counts are anonymous daily visitors—not people, profiles or account totals. No account ID is sent to analytics.
