Privacy & cookie policy

Short version: the site is free because it shows ads from Google AdSense. Google uses cookies for those ads, and in the UK and EU it asks for your consent first. We don't sell your data, and we don't run any tracking of our own.

Who we are

EuroTruckSimulator2.uk (https://eurotrucksimulator2.uk) is an independent fan site about Euro Truck Simulator 2 mods, run from the United Kingdom. To contact us about privacy, use the contact address that will appear here soon (our email is still being set up).

Advertising (Google AdSense)

We show ads provided by Google AdSense. Google and its advertising partners (third-party vendors) use cookies and similar technologies to show ads, measure how they perform and limit how often you see the same ad. These include ads based on your previous visits to this website or other websites.

• Your choice: if you visit from the UK, the EU or Switzerland, Google shows a consent message the first time you arrive. You can accept, reject, or choose which purposes to allow. If you don't consent to personalised ads, Google may still show non-personalised ads, which use cookies only for things like frequency capping, fraud prevention and measurement.
• Changing your mind: use the "Privacy and cookie settings" link that Google's message leaves on the page, or clear this site's cookies in your browser to see the message again.
• Personalised ads anywhere: you can turn off personalised Google ads in My Ad Center, and opt out of many other vendors' personalised ads at youronlinechoices.eu.
• More detail: How Google uses information from sites that use its services.

Other data

• Our own cookies: none. We don't run our own analytics or tracking.
• Server logs: like nearly every website, our web server records basic details of each request (IP address, page requested, date and time, and browser type). We use these only to keep the site running and secure, and they're deleted automatically after a short period.
• Search and filters: searching and filtering mods happens entirely in your browser. Nothing you type is sent to us.
• Emails: if you email us, we use your message and address only to reply.

YouTube videos and thumbnails

Most mod pages show a picture from a YouTube video. The picture is loaded from YouTube's image server (i.ytimg.com), so YouTube (Google) can see your IP address. The video player itself only loads when you press play, and it uses YouTube's privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com). Once you press play, Google's privacy policy applies.

Links to other sites

Download buttons take you to other websites such as Steam or a mod author's site. They have their own privacy policies, which we don't control.

Your rights

Under UK data protection law (UK GDPR) you can ask what personal data we hold about you, and ask us to correct or delete it. For data collected by Google for advertising, use the Google links above. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).

Changes

If we change how the site uses your data, we'll update this page and the date at the top.
