Privacy Policy
Last updated: 18 September 2026
Raw Edge (raw-edge.co.uk) publishes beginner-friendly game guides. This page explains what happens to your data when you visit. It is written to be read, not to be waded through.
The short version
We don't ask you for any personal information, and we don't run analytics. The only meaningful data collection here comes from Google AdSense, which serves the ads on this site and sets cookies to do so. If you're in the UK or EEA, you'll be asked to consent before any advertising cookies are set, and you can decline.
What we collect directly
Nothing. There are no accounts, no sign-up forms, no newsletter, and no comments. We don't run Google Analytics or any other analytics package. Fonts are served from this site rather than from a third-party CDN, so loading a page doesn't hand your IP address to a font provider.
Our web host keeps standard server logs (including IP addresses) as a normal part of running a website. These are used for security and troubleshooting, not to build a profile of you.
Advertising and Google AdSense
This site uses Google AdSense to display ads. Google is a third-party vendor and uses cookies to serve them.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and other sites on the internet.
- Third-party vendors and ad networks may also serve ads on this site and may use cookies of their own.
- These cookies may be used for personalised advertising, meaning the ads you see can be influenced by your browsing history.
You can opt out of personalised advertising by Google atGoogle Ads Settings, and opt out of many other vendors ataboutads.info orYour Online Choices(the European equivalent). Opting out doesn't remove ads — it makes them non-personalised.
More detail on how Google handles data from sites that use its services is inGoogle's own policy.
Consent, if you're in the UK or EEA
Advertising cookies are only set after you consent to them. Consent is collected through Google's certified Consent Management Platform, which appears the first time you visit a page carrying ads and records your choice. You can change your mind at any time using the privacy options link the consent dialog provides, or by clearing this site's cookies in your browser.
Pages without ads — including this one, the cookie notice and the affiliate disclosure — load no advertising code at all, so no advertising cookies are set while you're reading them.
Under UK GDPR, the lawful basis for advertising cookies is your consent. The lawful basis for server logs is legitimate interest in keeping the site running and secure.
Affiliate links
Some guides contain affiliate links, which are always visibly labelled as such. If you click one and buy something, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Following an affiliate link takes you to a third-party retailer whose own privacy policy and cookies then apply — we don't control those, and we don't receive personal information about your purchase. See ouraffiliate disclosure for more.
Your rights
Under UK GDPR you have the right to access, correct or delete personal data held about you, and to object to processing. Since we hold no personal data of our own, most requests are better directed at Google (for advertising data) or handled by clearing your browser cookies. If you want to raise something with us directly, use the contact route below. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office atico.org.uk.
Changes
If this policy changes, the date at the top will change with it. Material changes to how advertising works here will be reflected before they take effect.
