Privacy Policy

Last updated: 8th June 2026

Who we are

MidNite Shadow Online is maintained by Steve Roberts. For privacy questions, please use the contact details on the main Steve Roberts site.

What we collect

This site is mostly informational. It does not currently run a contact form or account system, but we may collect the following data when you visit:

• Basic server logs from the hosting platform
• Analytics data, if you choose to accept analytics cookies
• Information you send through external services or links

How we use data

We use personal data only to:

• Keep the site secure and reliable
• Understand which pages are useful, if analytics is accepted
• Respond to direct messages sent through other services

Analytics services

Google Analytics

This site uses Google Analytics (provided by Google LLC) to collect aggregated information about how visitors use the site — for example, which pages are visited most and how users navigate between them. Google Analytics is only activated if you accept analytics cookies via the consent banner.

When active, Google Analytics sets cookies and sends data (including your anonymised IP address) to Google servers in the United States. Google acts as a data processor under a Data Processing Agreement. Data collected by Google Analytics is retained for 14 months by default and is not used for advertising on this site.

You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking at any time by declining cookies via the preferences link in the footer, or by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. For more information, see Google's Privacy Policy.

Cloudflare Analytics

This site is served through Cloudflare's network. Cloudflare collects aggregated, anonymised traffic metrics — such as page views, response times, and error rates — as part of its standard hosting and security service. This data does not identify individual visitors and does not use cookies.

Cloudflare may also process your IP address to protect the site against abuse and to route traffic efficiently. Cloudflare acts as a data processor. For more information, see Cloudflare's Privacy Policy.

Cookies

This site stores a small consent cookie so the banner remembers your choice. If you accept analytics, Google Analytics may set its own cookies for measurement. Cloudflare does not set cookies for analytics purposes.

You can change your choice at any time using the cookie preferences link in the footer.

Cookies in detail

The consent cookie is used only to remember whether analytics was accepted or declined. No advertising or profiling cookies are used on this site.

Retention

Personal data is kept only for as long as needed for the purpose it was collected. Provider logs and analytics data are retained according to the relevant service's default settings.

Your rights

Under UK GDPR you may ask for access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data where applicable. You may also object to processing based on legitimate interests.

Changes to this policy

This page may be updated from time to time. Any material changes will be reflected here with a new update date. Continued use of this website after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
