Privacy Policy

What This Policy Covers

This policy explains what happens to information gathered while you use https://venkogames.com. It covers the pages you view, the searches you perform, the messages and comments you submit, and the technical records generated during your visit.

You do not need an account, login, or password to play games on this site. We do not register users or store account credentials. Playing any game on the platform is open without registration.

This document outlines our own first-party data practices as well as the presence of third-party services that operate across the site, including analytics, advertising networks, and embedded game providers. It applies to all visitors using our web pages.

Information We Collect Automatically

When you browse the site, our servers record first-party page view information. This record includes the page path, the type of page requested, the game identifier when a game page is loaded, a device classification, the referring host name, and a timestamp. We record the referring host rather than the full referring URL. No third party receives these raw page-view records.

We also count daily visits using a mathematical hash combining a secret key, the calendar date, your IP address, and your browser user-agent string. We do not store your readable IP address for this counter. Because the date is included inside the hash, each visitor is counted once per day, and records cannot be linked from one day to the next.

If you like or favourite a game on the site, we store your IP address so the same action is not counted twice. These automated records help us monitor technical stability and determine which games function well across different devices.

Raw page-view entries are used to measure general site traffic patterns and monitor technical performance across desktop and mobile devices. These logs exist on our infrastructure and are not transmitted to external partners.

Information You Send Us

If you reach out to us using our contact form, we collect the details you submit: your name, your email address, the message subject, and the message text. These messages are readable by site administrators and are kept until manually deleted.

With each contact message, our system also stores the sender's IP address and browser user-agent string. We use these details to rate-limit submissions to 3 per hour and to block abusive senders.

We do not use contact form submissions for marketing purposes. The details you provide are used by administrators to review and respond to your inquiry.

Comments You Post

Visitors can post comments on game pages across the site. When you submit a comment, our system stores the commenter name you enter, an optional email address, the comment text, your IP address, and your browser user-agent string.

We store the IP address and user-agent string alongside the comment to assist with moderation and manage spam across public discussions. Providing an email address is entirely optional when leaving feedback on a game.

Comments you submit are visible to other visitors browsing that game page. Please avoid including personal details or sensitive information in the public text of your comment.

Search Queries

When you use the on-site search bar to find games, our system logs specific query details. We store the search text you entered, your browser user-agent string, the referring page, and a session identifier.

In those search logs, the IP address is stored only as an irreversible hash and never in readable form. This ensures that search patterns cannot be matched back to an identifiable internet connection through plain IP records.

These search logs help us understand what titles or categories players are looking for and whether our search function returns relevant results. They are maintained separately from your contact submissions.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. Cookies are set on this site for essential technical functions, traffic measurement, and ad delivery.

First-party cookies help manage your active browsing session and track basic interactions, such as game preferences. These files do not contain passwords or user profile logins because our site does not use account registration.

Third-party services integrated into our site also set and read cookies. Google Analytics uses cookies to evaluate site traffic and user engagement. Google AdSense uses cookies and similar technologies to serve advertisements, which may be personalised based on your browsing activity across the web. Additionally, third-party game providers whose titles are embedded in frames on our pages set their own cookies.

You can manage or disable cookies at any time through your web browser settings. Every browser provides options to view, block, or clear cookies. Disabling cookies may affect certain site functions, such as remembering preferences or loading embedded game components properly.

Analytics

Google Analytics measures traffic on https://venkogames.com. Google Analytics collects information about how visitors navigate the site, such as which pages are visited, how long visitors stay, and what device types are used.

Google Analytics uses cookies and technical identifiers to gather this usage data. The information generated about your site usage is transmitted to and stored by Google.

We review aggregate reports from Google Analytics to understand overall audience trends, detect technical issues, and improve game navigation across the site. Google provides browser add-ons and settings that allow visitors to opt out of Google Analytics measurement.

Advertising and Personalisation

Google AdSense serves ads across our website. These ads help support the ongoing operation of the site so that games remain free to play.

Google AdSense and its advertising partners may use cookies and device identifiers to serve ads based on your visits to this website and other sites on the web. The advertisements served may be personalised.

Personalised ads use data about your prior browsing habits to select advertisements that match inferred interests. Non-personalised ads do not use past browsing history to target ads, though they still rely on contextual information such as the game currently loaded, general location, or device type.

When ads are served, third-party advertising vendors receive your IP address and technical browser data as part of standard web communication. We do not control the independent data processing systems used by external advertising networks. You can adjust your ad preferences through Google Ad Settings or through industry opt-out platforms.

Third-Party Games and Embedded Content

Many games on https://venkogames.com are embedded in iframes from third-party providers. When you play one of these games, your browser connects directly to the external provider's servers.

These third-party providers set their own cookies and receive the visitor IP address alongside technical browser headers. We do not control them or their data handling practices. Their operations are governed by their own individual privacy policies and terms.

Games are selected based on playability, browser compatibility, usability, and overall player experience. Each game is reviewed before publication to confirm that it loads correctly, works in modern browsers, and fits the site’s categories.

Because external servers deliver these game files directly, we encourage visitors to review the privacy policies of those third-party providers. If you do not wish to share network data with an external provider, you can choose not to open or play embedded games.

Children’s Privacy

The audience for our site includes school-age children, so COPPA and GDPR-K expectations apply. We do not use any data to profile a child.

There are no user accounts, logins, or stored passwords on this website, and playing a game never requires registering. We do not ask children to submit personal identifying information to play games.

Parents and guardians are encouraged to monitor their children's web browsing. If you believe a child has submitted personal information through our contact form or comment sections, please reach out to privacy [at] venkogames [dot] com so we can locate and remove those records.

How Long We Keep Data

We retain data according to specific operational schedules. Raw page-view rows are deleted after 3 days; only daily totals are kept beyond that.

Messages submitted through the contact form, including the sender name, email address, subject, message body, IP address, and user-agent string, are kept until manually deleted by administrators.

Game comments, including commenter names, optional email addresses, comment text, IP addresses, and user-agent strings, remain stored until manually removed. Search logs, which store IP addresses only as irreversible hashes, are maintained for search evaluation.

Your Rights and Choices

Under applicable data protection laws, including Spanish and European regulations, you have rights regarding your personal information. These include the right to request access to personal data we hold about you, request corrections, or request deletion.

Because there are no user accounts, logins, or registered profiles on our site, we do not keep player account files. The personal information we hold is limited to contact form submissions, published comments, and IP addresses stored for comment moderation or game likes.

If you have submitted a contact message or posted a comment and wish to request its deletion, you can email privacy [at] venkogames [dot] com. Please include relevant details to help us locate your submission.

You can also control tracking technologies directly through your browser. You can set your browser to reject cookies, remove existing cookies, or block third-party trackers. You can opt out of personalised advertising through Google Ad Settings, and you can opt out of Google Analytics measurement using browser opt-out extensions.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our technical practices, site features, or legal requirements. When updates occur, the revised version will be published directly on this page. We encourage visitors and parents to check this document periodically to stay informed about how data is handled on https://venkogames.com.
