Privacy Policy

Who this policy covers

This policy applies to pages published on drivemads.online. DriveMads is operated through the DriveMads editorial desk. Privacy questions can be sent to hello@drivemads.online.

Data the site can collect directly

Like most websites, DriveMads and its hosting or CDN layer can receive technical data such as IP address, browser type, device type, requested URL, referrer, date and time, and response status. That information is used for delivery, security, abuse prevention, troubleshooting, and aggregate performance monitoring.

Cookies and local storage used by DriveMads

DriveMads stores your cookie choice in browser local storage so the site can remember whether you accepted or rejected optional analytics and advertising storage. If you reject optional storage, the site still works, but optional Google Analytics and Google AdSense loading stays off until you change that choice.

Google Analytics

DriveMads uses Google Analytics 4 with property ID G-ZME7DCP4MK to measure page views, engagement, catalog performance, and broad traffic patterns. Analytics is treated as optional storage on this site and is only enabled after consent through the site banner or privacy settings control.

Google AdSense

DriveMads has an AdSense publisher account with ID ca-pub-3376278485410551, but the current build keeps AdSense loading disabled until a Google-certified consent management platform is configured and its consent signal is available. When advertising is enabled, Google and its partners may use cookies or similar identifiers for ad delivery, frequency control, measurement, and ad personalization where legally permitted. DriveMads does not send email addresses, phone numbers, names, or other directly identifying information in ad request parameters or data-layer values.

Embedded game providers

Game pages on DriveMads use third-party embeds or source pages from providers that currently include drivinggames.io, azgames.io, game.azgame.io, and gamea.azgame.io. When you load a game iframe or open a source link, that provider can receive your IP address, browser information, and other technical identifiers in the same way it would if you visited the provider directly.

How to manage or block optional tracking

You can reject optional storage from the DriveMads consent banner, reopen those controls at any time through the button below, block third-party cookies in your browser, use private browsing modes, or use an ad blocker or tracking-protection tool. For Google ad personalization controls, you can also review the settings available through your Google account and browser privacy features.

Children and age-related privacy

DriveMads is a general-audience browser game catalog. It is not knowingly directed to children under 13, and the site does not knowingly request a child's name, email address, precise location, or other direct identifier. If a parent or guardian believes that a child has submitted personal information, contact hello@drivemads.online so the issue can be reviewed.

If DriveMads later intentionally targets content or advertising to children, the relevant pages will use child-directed treatment, disable interest-based advertising where required, and update this policy before that change is launched.

Consent management for EEA, UK, and Switzerland

The current site preference panel records a local choice for optional analytics and advertising behavior. Before personalized advertising is enabled for users in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, DriveMads must configure a Google-certified consent management platform in AdSense and verify that the correct consent signal reaches every ad request. Until that work is complete, AdSense remains disabled.

Data retention and requests

DriveMads does not currently provide user accounts or a public profile system. Technical logs and third-party service records are retained according to the relevant host, CDN, analytics, ad, or embedded-game provider's own policies. Privacy questions, correction requests, and removal concerns can be sent to the contact address above.

What DriveMads does not currently offer

DriveMads does not provide user accounts, checkout flows, or a live public comment system on the current build. Visitors can still contact the editorial desk directly by email if a page needs to be corrected or removed.

Policy updates

This page is updated when the site adds or removes material services, changes the consent flow, changes advertising behavior, or materially changes how embedded content is handled. The current effective version is dated September 12, 2026.
