Ads and localStorage

Advertising

This site may show labeled display banners in three placements only: a leaderboard under the header, an optional mid-content rectangle on tool pages, and a footer banner. Visible units prefer Adsterra banner ads when configured, and may fall back to Google AdSense display slots. Ads are labeled “Ad” and kept visually secondary. We do not run popups, popunders, social bars, interstitials, forced redirects, sticky full-screen takeovers, or autoplay audio.

Adsterra and Google may use cookies or similar identifiers to measure traffic and serve ads. You can review or opt out of personalized Google ads at Google Ad Settings. Google’s advertising policy overview is at How Google uses cookies in advertising.

The AdSense client script still loads site-wide for Google’s site verification. Until an Adsterra banner key or an AdSense slot ID is configured for a size (and, for AdSense, the account is approved), you only see labeled WardogsTracker placeholders so the layout stays stable.

Local storage

The Bank and XP tracker write JSON to your browser’s localStorage under keys prefixed with wardogskit. If we notice a common ad blocker, a one-time ask may use session storage (dismiss for the visit) or local storage (“Don’t ask again”). That data never leaves your device unless you copy it. Clearing site data, using another browser, or blocking storage will reset trackers and the ad-nudge preference. There is no account, no live username lookup, and no server-side player database in v1.

What we do not collect

This static/hobby deployment does not require a login. Hosting (Vercel) will process normal request logs (IP, user agent) as any website does. We do not ask for Steam IDs, emails, or payment details.
