Privacy Policy

What This Policy Covers

This policy applies to kartbros.co, an online catalog running since 2026 that is dedicated to the browser game Kart Bros, which its homepage plays, alongside a small number of related games. It covers the information collected directly by the site through server logs, browsing sessions, search tools, interactive forms, and comments. It also describes the presence of third parties on the site, including external game hosting providers, Google Analytics, and Google AdSense.

This policy explains how visitor data is handled across both published game categories on the site: Bros Series and Kart Racing. It does not govern external websites or the independent practices of third parties whose games are embedded across these pages.

Information We Collect Automatically

When you visit kartbros.co, certain technical details are recorded automatically by the site. Every page view is recorded first-party with the path requested, the page type, the game id if one applies, a device class, the referring host, and a timestamp. The full referring URL is never recorded, and no third party receives any of this recorded page-view information.

Visitor numbers behind these page views are counted using a technical hash. This counter combines a secret, the date, your IP address, and your browser user-agent into a hashed value. Because the date is included in the hash, the same person counts once per day and cannot be linked from one day to the next. The IP address itself is not stored in any form within this counter mechanism.

Other specific interactions also involve automatic logging. When you submit an on-site search query, the search text, browser user-agent, referring page, and session identifier are logged. Within those search records, the IP address is stored only as an irreversible hash, never in readable form. When you like or favourite a game, your IP address is stored so the same action is not counted twice.

Information You Send Us

You may choose to send information to the site using on-page forms. Submitting the contact form stores your name, email address, subject, and the message you write. It also records your IP address and browser user-agent string, which are used to rate-limit submissions to 3 per hour and to block abusive senders. Contact messages are readable by site administrators and remain stored until manually deleted.

Every game page also carries a report form. Submitting a report stores the reason chosen from a fixed list, such as copyright, the description you provide, an email address if you decide to include one, your IP address, and a timestamp. The IP address limits reports to three per item per address per day. Each report is stored with a status and is marked reviewed, resolved, or dismissed in the admin, which records which administrator handled it and when.

Comments You Post

You can leave comments on game pages across the site. When you submit a game comment, the system stores the commenter name you enter, an optional email address if you provide one, the comment text, your IP address, and your browser user-agent string.

These comments are not removed on a predetermined schedule. A submitted comment stays stored until it is removed, and all comments associated with a game are deleted if that game is deleted. Playing games on the site never requires registering an account, so comments are submitted without creating a profile or storing a password.

Search Queries

When you search for titles using the internal search bar, your query is logged to help monitor catalog searches. These logs record the search text entered, the referring page, the browser user-agent, and an active session identifier.

Your internet connection details are handled carefully during this process. In those search logs, your IP address is stored only as an irreversible hash and is never retained in readable form. This allows site administrators to view catalog queries without maintaining readable network addresses tied to specific search queries.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies and similar technologies are used on this site for it to function properly. The site sets its own session cookie so that a visitor's session holds together across different pages. This first-party session cookie is restricted to HTTP requests, is sent over HTTPS where the connection allows, expires after 30 minutes of inactivity, and its identifier is replaced every 30 minutes.

In addition to first-party session cookies, embedded third-party games may set cookies or similar identifiers of their own when loaded on your screen. Furthermore, if analytics or advertising services are enabled on the site, those services may also set cookies or similar identifiers under their own operational procedures.

You have controls within your web browser to delete stored cookies, block cookies, or manage how storage functions operate. Be aware that some site features, advertisements, analytics or embedded games may behave differently when browser storage or third-party scripts are restricted.

Analytics

This site may use Google Analytics to measure visitor traffic across pages. When this service is enabled, Google Analytics may use cookies or similar identifiers to perform traffic measurement.

These cookies and identifiers operate entirely under Google's own policies and configurations. First-party page views recorded independently by this site do not share any data with third parties, but any measurement performed directly by Google Analytics relies on its own collection practices.

Advertising

The site may show advertisements served by Google AdSense to help sustain catalog operations. When advertisements are enabled, Google may use cookies and similar identifiers to deliver them.

These advertising identifiers and cookies are deployed and managed under Google's own policies. The site operator does not control the identifiers Google chooses to place, nor does the operator set whether ads are personalised or non-personalised for any individual visitor, as those determinations are managed by Google according to visitor settings and consents.

Visitors can manage advertising preferences or adjust ad personalisation settings through controls provided by Google within their own account settings or browser tools.

Third-Party Games and Embedded Content

Kart Bros is the main game hosted on the site's homepage, and any other game listed alongside it is a closely related title chosen to sit with it. The catalog includes 2 game categories: Bros Series and Kart Racing. Every game runs directly in your browser with no download, plugin, or account needed, and titles that stop working are deactivated.

All games are embedded in iframes from third-party providers. This site did not build, develop, or publish any of them; it lists and embeds those games from external sources.

Because games run inside iframes, third-party providers receive the visitor IP address whenever a game loads. These providers also set their own cookies within their frames. We do not control these third-party providers, their storage technologies, or their data practices.

Children’s Privacy

The audience for this website includes school-age children. Because younger visitors browse the catalog, personal information is treated with extra care.

Nothing this site collects is used to build an advertising profile of a child. Furthermore, playing games on the site never requires registering an account, providing a profile, or saving passwords. Visitors can access browser games without creating user credentials.

How Long We Keep Data

Information retained by the site is stored for different durations depending on its technical purpose. Raw page-view rows are deleted after 3 days; only daily aggregate totals are kept beyond that timeframe.

Session cookie identifiers are replaced every 30 minutes, and session cookies expire after 30 minutes of inactivity. Contact form messages and their associated rate-limiting technical details are kept until manually deleted by site administrators. Comments submitted on a game remain stored until removed, and they are deleted whenever the associated game is deleted. Reports submitted about game pages remain stored with administrative review statuses.

Your Rights and Choices

Visitors have several choices regarding how their information is collected and processed when browsing the site. Because there are no user accounts, logins, or stored passwords, you do not need to register or manage a user profile to access any playable title.

You can control the storage of local data through your web browser settings. Most modern browsers allow you to clear existing cookies, block third-party cookies, or receive alerts when a cookie is placed. If you prefer not to have cookies set by third-party advertising or analytics services, you can configure your browser to decline third-party storage or use opt-out controls provided by Google.

If you have previously submitted personal details through the website—such as your name or email address within a contact message, game report, or public comment—you can request the review or removal of that data. Requests concerning stored communication entries or posted comments should be directed to the site operator via the privacy mailbox.

Changes to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated to reflect changes in site operations, administrative procedures, or the technical services active on the website. Revisions will be published directly to this page so visitors can see how information is handled.

How to Contact Us

If you have questions, notices, or data requests regarding this Privacy Policy or personal information submitted to the site, you can contact the site operator by email at privacy [at] kartbros [dot] co. This mailbox exists and is monitored for inquiries.
