Privacy Policy

1. Scope and contact

This policy covers gametheoryatlas.blog and its English, Turkish and Ukrainian editions. The website is published as Game Theory Atlas, an independent educational and research-reference project. Questions, access requests or privacy concerns may be sent to a.i.anastasiaivanova@gmail.com. For the website’s editorial information, see About Game Theory Atlas.

2. Information that may be processed

• Technical information such as IP address, approximate location inferred from an IP address, browser and device details, referring URL, page visits, timestamps, diagnostics and security logs.
• Cookies, device identifiers and local-storage data used, where applicable, for session operation, site preferences, analytics, fraud prevention, advertising and consent choices.
• Information you voluntarily provide in messages, correction requests, contact forms, comments, surveys, newsletter sign-ups or other reader tools, where those functions are made available.
• If a Reader Revenue Manager contribution, subscription, registration or rewarded-ad experience is enabled, relevant sign-in, entitlement, interaction or transaction-status data may be handled by Google or another disclosed provider under its own applicable notice.

3. Purposes and legal grounds

Data may be used to provide the website and requested services, maintain security, prevent abuse, respond to enquiries, understand audience engagement, improve accessibility and reliability, and display or measure advertisements where enabled. Depending on jurisdiction and context, processing may rely on consent, performance of a requested service, legal obligations or legitimate interests subject to applicable safeguards. Optional cookies and personalised advertising should only be used where the legally required consent has been obtained.

4. Cookies, Google services and other third parties

The site uses WordPress.com/Automattic infrastructure and has Google services integrated, including Google AdSense advertising code and Google Site Kit components. Google Analytics or Tag Manager may operate according to the site’s active configuration. Google Reader Revenue Manager may also be used for reader registration, access offers, rewarded ads or other reader-facing functions if activated. Third-party services may process personal data, use cookies or receive device and browsing information under their own policies.

• WordPress/Automattic: Automattic Privacy Policy.

5. Consent, choice and controls

Where required by law, non-essential cookies and personalised advertising depend on a valid consent choice, managed through an available consent interface or the relevant provider. You may change your browser’s cookie settings or withdraw consent through an available consent-management interface. A browser-level block can affect some functionality. This text is a disclosure and is not itself a consent-management mechanism.

6. Sharing, transfers and retention

Necessary information may be made available to hosting, security, analytics, advertising and reader-services providers for their respective functions. Some processing may take place outside your country, subject to the legal protections applicable to the specific provider and transfer. Data is retained only for the periods applicable to the purpose, provider settings, security needs or legal obligations; third-party retention periods are governed by their published policies.

7. Your rights

Depending on applicable law, you may have rights to receive information about processing, access, correct or erase personal data, restrict or object to processing, withdraw consent and lodge a complaint with a competent authority. Contact a.i.anastasiaivanova@gmail.com for requests relating to Game Theory Atlas. For data handled directly by Google, WordPress.com or another platform, use that provider’s privacy controls as well.

8. Children, links and changes

This educational website is intended for a general audience and is not designed to solicit personal data from children. External academic resources and websites are subject to their own privacy notices. This policy may be updated when features or legal requirements change; the effective date above will be revised when a material update is made.
