Privacy policy
Short version: no accounts and no ad trackers; visits are measured through Google Tag Manager; the specs you type are not kept.
Parts you enter into the tools
Some tools work entirely in your browser. Others — Can I Run It?, the FPS calculator and the search boxes — send your choices (a game, a graphics card, a processor, a memory size) to our server to work out the answer. The answer is sent back and the choices are not saved or tied to you.
When you look up a game we don’t already hold, its requirements are fetched from Steam and stored for up to 30 days so the next person gets them faster. That stored copy is about the game, not about you.
Cookies and tracking
We use Google Tag Manager to load Google’s measurement tools, such as Google Analytics. If you accept, they may set cookies and collect details like the pages you visit, how long you stay, your approximate location, device and browser, so we can see which pages and tools are used. We don’t use this for advertising and don’t sell it. Google processes the data under its own privacy policy.
Nothing is measured with cookies until you say yes. On your first visit a banner asks; until you accept, Google’s tags run in their cookieless mode. Your answer is remembered in your browser, and you can change it at any time from Cookie settings at the bottom of every page. The site works the same either way.
You can also block cookies in your browser settings, or install Google’s Analytics opt-out add-on. Our own fonts and images are served from this domain.
Hosting
The site runs on Cloudflare. Like any web host, Cloudflare processes technical request data — IP address, browser and the address requested — to deliver pages and protect the site from abuse, and may set a strictly necessary security cookie to do so. Its handling is covered by Cloudflare’s own privacy policy.
If you write to [email protected], we keep the message only as long as needed to reply and act on it, and we don’t share it.
Children
The site is not aimed at children and asks no one to enter personal information.
Changes and questions
If this policy changes, the date at the top changes with it. For any privacy question, email [email protected].
