Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar storage technologies are used on man1k.xyz, the purpose of each, the conditions under which they are set, and the controls available to you. By continuing to use this site you acknowledge having read and understood this policy. This policy is incorporated by reference into the Privacy Policy and the Terms of Use.

man1k.xyz does not set any first-party cookies for tracking, session management, personalisation, or any other purpose. There is no login system, no shopping cart, and no user preferences stored in cookies.

When DNT and GPC are not active, Google Analytics 4 (G-5M1G8HHZW4) is loaded and may set the following cookies:

Conditional means these cookies are only set when DNT is not active and GPC is not detected. All Google cookies are configured with SameSite=Lax; Secure flags and IP anonymisation enabled. Ad personalisation signals are enabled at the property level for potential future use, but are not currently activated — no advertising or remarketing campaigns are run through this GA4 property at this time. allow_google_signals is enabled and restricted_data_processing is disabled.

When DNT and GPC are not active, the TikTok Pixel (D7958NBC77U5V754BC6G) is loaded on all pages and may set the following cookies:

Advanced Matching (AAM) is enabled: if you have previously submitted personal data on this site (e.g. newsletter signup), TikTok Pixel may collect that data (email, name, phone number, address) in SHA-256 hashed form to improve audience match rates.

Expanded Data Sharing is enabled: TikTok Pixel additionally collects page content metadata, visitor interaction signals (clicks, button interactions, time on page), and performance metrics (page load speed). This data is used to improve ad delivery and campaign performance.

First-party cookies are enabled: TikTok may set first-party cookies from the man1k.xyz domain to improve cross-session measurement accuracy.

Simple Analytics is active on all pages via an async JavaScript script (scripts.simpleanalyticscdn.com). It does not set any cookies, does not use fingerprinting, and does not collect personal data of any kind. It records only aggregated, non-identifiable statistics (page views, referrer origin, browser category, country). Simple Analytics respects DNT and GPC signals: when either is active, no data is transmitted. No consent is required under ePrivacy or GDPR.

Data processor: Simple Analytics BV, Keizersgracht 482-1, 1017 EG Amsterdam, Netherlands. Privacy policy →

The following third-party services may set cookies or receive data when their content loads. Not all services use the same loading strategy — see the Loading column.

man1k.xyz has no control over cookies set by these third-party services. Note: Spotify, Bandcamp (/music), SoundCloud (/music) appear only as external links on the /music page — no iframes are embedded there, and no third-party connection is made unless the user navigates away. Refer to each service's own cookie policy for details.

man1k.xyz uses browser localStorage (not cookies) for the following purposes. No personal data is stored in any of these keys, and none of this data is transmitted externally.

You can clear localStorage at any time via your browser's developer tools ("Application" → "Local Storage") or by clearing all site data for man1k.xyz. Clearing these keys has no adverse effect on core site functionality.

The game at /game/ uses IndexedDB to persist the player's highest score. Database: vxd (version 1), object store: s, single record: {"{id: \"b\", v: }"}. If IndexedDB is unavailable, the game falls back to localStorage key vxb. No personal data is stored — only a numeric score value. You can clear IndexedDB via your browser's developer tools ("Application" → "IndexedDB").

You have multiple independent mechanisms to control cookie behaviour on man1k.xyz. The operator has implemented all technically feasible controls server-side and client-side; the following options are also available to you directly:

• Enable DNT: Set "Do Not Track" in your browser settings — GTM and all analytics cookies will be suppressed immediately on every page load
• Enable GPC: Install a GPC-compatible extension (e.g. Privacy Badger, Brave browser) — treated identically to DNT, no GTM loaded
• Block third-party cookies: Configure your browser to block all third-party cookies — prevents embed cookies from SoundCloud, Bandsintown, and other services from loading
• Use a content blocker: uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, or similar tools can selectively block specific domains (e.g. soundcloud.com, googletagmanager.com)
• TikTok Pixel opt-out: Enable DNT or GPC in your browser — TikTok Pixel will be suppressed entirely. Or adjust ad preferences at tiktok.com/legal/privacy-policy
• Google Analytics opt-out: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout — browser extension that prevents all GA data collection
• Clear cookies: Delete existing cookies at any time via your browser's privacy or site settings — has no adverse effect on site functionality as no functional cookies are used
• Simple Analytics: No opt-out required — no cookies or personal data are collected regardless of your settings
