Privacy Policy

Last updated 28 August 2026.

GTA Codex ("we", "us") is an independent, fan-made companion site for Grand Theft Auto VI. This policy explains what data we handle when you visit gtacodex.com. We keep it minimal.

The short version

  • You don't need an account, and we don't ask for your name, email, or any personal details to use the site.
  • Your progress and checklists are stored on your own device (in your browser), not on our servers.
  • We use privacy-respecting, aggregate analytics to understand traffic.

Information we collect

Usage analytics. We use Google Analytics to understand how the site is used — for example, which pages are popular and roughly where visitors come from. This may include your approximate location (from your IP address, which Google truncates), device and browser type, and the pages you view. It is used in aggregate and is not used to identify you personally.

On-device storage. Features like "My Progress" and the collectibles checklists save your selections in your browser's local storage. This data stays on your device, is not transmitted to us, and you can clear it any time through your browser or the in-page reset controls.

We do not collect payment information, and we do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.

Cookies and similar technologies

We use a small number of cookies and equivalent storage:

  • Analytics cookies set by Google Analytics to measure traffic.
  • Local storage for your on-device progress (described above).

Advertising (future). We may in future display ads through third-party vendors such as Google, including Google AdSense. When we do, those vendors may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other sites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits here and elsewhere. You can opt out of personalised advertising via Google Ads Settings, or opt out of third-party cookies for personalised advertising at aboutads.info. This section will be updated with specifics before any ads go live.

Third-party services

Your choices

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, use the Google Analytics opt-out add-on, and clear your on-device progress at any time. Most browsers also offer a "Do Not Track" signal, which we respect where technically feasible.

Changes

We may update this policy as the site grows — for example, before enabling advertising. Material changes will be reflected by the "last updated" date above.
