Privacy Policy

StrategoGame is an independent website. We publish our own written guide to the game of Stratego and embed the official Stratego Online browser game, which is hosted and operated by the game's rights holders at play.stratego.com.

Last updated: November 2026.

What this policy covers

This policy explains what data this website (strategogame.shop) collects, why it collects it, and what you can do about it. It applies to this site only. It does not apply to play.stratego.com, a separate website operated by another company and governed by its own privacy policy.

What we collect

Analytics. We use a page-view counter to understand how many people visit the site and which pages are useful. It records aggregated visit numbers and technical basics such as the page viewed, the referring page, the browser and the country. We do not use it to build personal profiles of individual readers.

Comments and nicknames. The comment box at the bottom of the home page lets you post a note. If you type a nickname it is shown publicly next to your note; if you leave it empty you appear as a guest. Your comment text and the time it was posted are stored so other readers can see them. Comments are public, so do not post anything private in them.

Likes and shares. The like button stores an anonymous count. Pressing it does not create an account and no personal profile is created.

Server logs. Like almost every website, our hosting provider records standard request logs (IP address, timestamp, requested URL, user agent) for security and troubleshooting. These logs are kept only as long as needed for that purpose.

Cookies and local storage. We do not set advertising or tracking cookies. The site may use browser local storage for basic preferences such as remembering that you have already liked the page. Third-party content embedded on the page may set its own cookies under its own policy.

The embedded game

When you press Play, an iframe loads play.stratego.com inside this page. From that moment you are interacting with a third-party website. That site can see your IP address, browser and any account you choose to create there, and it operates under its own terms and privacy policy, which we do not control. If you prefer not to be subject to it, do not press Play and simply use our written guide.

Third-party advertising

If we later display advertising, ad networks may use cookies or similar technologies to serve and measure ads. Where that happens we will update this page to name the network and the choices available to you, and we will not serve personalised advertising to visitors in regions where consent is required without asking first.

Children

This site is a general-audience guide and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has posted personal information in a comment, contact us and we will remove it.

Your choices

You can browse the entire guide without submitting anything. If you posted a comment and want it removed, write to us with the comment text and roughly when it was posted and we will delete it. You can also ask what data we hold about you and request correction or deletion of it.

Changes

If this policy changes we will update the date at the top of the page. Material changes affecting how comments or analytics work will be described here rather than made silently.
