Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how HoKStats.gg (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses and shares information when you visit https://hokstats.gg (the “Site”). By using the Site you agree to this Policy.

1. Who we are

HoKStats.gg is an independent fan database for the game Honor of Kings. We are not affiliated with Tencent Games, TiMi Studio Group, Level Infinite or any official publisher of Honor of Kings. All game assets, hero names, item icons and trademarks are the property of their respective owners.

2. Information we collect

HoKStats.gg is a static website. We do not require account creation and we do not ask for personal information directly. The only data processed about you comes from:

• Server request logs — our hosting provider (Cloudflare) automatically records IP address, user-agent, referrer, timestamp and requested URL for basic security, caching and aggregate traffic analytics. These logs are retained for a short period and are not used to identify individual visitors.
• Cookies set by third-party advertising partners (when enabled — see Section 4).
• Embedded YouTube videos — the Site embeds gameplay videos using youtube-nocookie.com to minimize tracking. YouTube may still set cookies once you press play. See YouTube/Google Privacy Policy.

3. How we use information

• To operate, maintain and secure the Site.
• To understand aggregate usage patterns (which pages are popular, device/browser breakdowns).
• To serve advertising and measure ad performance through trusted partners (Section 4).
• To comply with applicable laws and respond to lawful requests.

We do not sell your personal information. We do not build cross-site advertising profiles on our own.

4. Advertising and third-party cookies

We may display advertising served by Google AdSense or equivalent networks. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this Site and other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our Site and other sites on the Internet.

• You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
• You may opt out of third-party vendor cookies via aboutads.info or youronlinechoices.com.
• EEA/UK users: we rely on a consent signal (Google’s Consent Management Platform) for non-essential cookies where required under GDPR.

5. Analytics

We may use privacy-respecting analytics tools (such as Cloudflare Web Analytics or similar) that do not set cookies and do not collect personal information. If we enable cookie-based analytics in the future (e.g. Google Analytics), we will update this Policy and disclose it here.

6. Data retention

Server logs are retained by our hosting provider for a limited period (typically up to 30 days) and then deleted or anonymized. We do not store personal data beyond what our hosting and ad partners require.

7. Your rights

Depending on your jurisdiction (including GDPR for the EEA/UK, CCPA for California, LGPD for Brazil), you may have the right to:

• Request access to the information we hold about you.
• Request deletion or correction.
• Object to or restrict processing.
• Withdraw consent for non-essential cookies at any time (via your browser settings or ad vendor opt-outs).

Because we do not maintain user accounts, most requests can be served by clearing your browser cookies for this Site.

8. Children

This Site is not directed at children under 13 (or the equivalent age of consent in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

9. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top of the page indicates when the current version was published. Material changes will be highlighted on the homepage.
