Privacy Policy

This site at https://gw2.guildwars.games does not keep an account for you unless you sign in. When you sign in with Google, Discord, Twitch or Steam, the site keeps the account ID, display name and email address that service provides, so it can contact you about your account. Steam provides no email address. With Google, the display name is the name Google provides, or your email address when Google gives no name. A sign-in cookie keeps you signed in for 92 days. Comments, ratings, screenshots, drafts, favourites and publications you submit are stored with your account.

Google Analytics loads on public pages. It records the pages you open, your browser and device and an approximate location derived from your address, and sets its own cookies to recognise a returning browser. Google keeps this data under its own retention settings. PostHog also records the pages visited, to measure traffic.

When you use this site’s app in ChatGPT or another assistant, the assistant sends this site the tool it calls and that tool’s inputs: a search phrase, a kind, a page address, a language and a page number. The site uses them only to answer that request and does not store them. The request carries no account, so the site cannot tie it to you.

Every request, an assistant app’s included, is recorded in the web server’s access log: the sending address, the time, the requested path, the response status and size, the referring page and the client name. Access logs are deleted after 15 days. What you submit stays until you delete it or ask for it to be removed.

You can delete your own comments, ratings, screenshots, drafts, favourites and publications on the site, and signing out removes the sign-in cookie.
