Privacy Policy

What This Policy Covers

This policy covers the information collected directly by cargames.lol and through third-party services integrated into the site. The website offers a curated collection of Driving and Racing games, specifically organized into seven categories: Car Crash, Car Stunt, Drifting, Driving Simulator, Off-Road, Parking, and Racing.

Every game listed on this site runs directly in a web browser without requiring a download, plugin, or the creation of a user account. There are no logins or stored passwords. The site functions as a directory and host for these titles; it did not build, develop, or publish any of the games found here. This policy explains how data is handled when you browse these categories, search for titles, submit reports, post comments, or interact with embedded content from third-party providers.

Information We Collect Automatically

The site automatically records certain information to maintain functionality and measure traffic. Every page view is recorded first-party, including the page path, page type, game identifier, if applicable, device class, the referring host, and a timestamp. This specific page-view data is not shared with third parties. A visitor counter also operates by creating a hash of a secret, the date, your IP address, and your browser user-agent string. This method allows the site to count unique daily visitors without storing the IP address in any form, ensuring a visitor cannot be linked from one day to the next.

When you like or favourite a game, your IP address is stored to prevent the same action from being counted twice. Additionally, a first-party session cookie is used so a visit holds together across different pages. This cookie is restricted to HTTP requests, sent over HTTPS when available, expires after 30 minutes of inactivity, and its identifier is replaced every 30 minutes. Some site features, advertisements, analytics or embedded games may behave differently when browser storage or third-party scripts are restricted.

Information You Send Us

If you use the contact form to reach the operator, the site stores the name, email address, subject, and message you submit. Along with the message, the sender's IP address and browser user-agent string are recorded. This data is used to rate-limit submissions to three per hour and to block abusive senders. These messages are readable by site administrators and are kept until they are manually deleted.

You may also use the report form found on every game page. Submitting a report stores the reason chosen from a fixed list, such as copyright, the description you write, a timestamp, and your IP address. An email address is only stored if you choose to provide one. The IP address is used to limit reports to three per item per address each day. Each report is tracked in an administrative system with a status of reviewed, resolved, or dismissed, which also records which administrator handled the report and when.

Comments You Post

Visitors have the option to post comments on game pages. When you post a comment, the site stores the name you provide, the text of the comment, your IP address, and your browser user-agent string. You may also choose to provide an optional email address.

Comments are not deleted on a fixed schedule. A comment remains on the site until it is removed by an administrator. If a game is deleted from the website, all comments associated with that specific game are deleted at the same time. Because comments are public, please be mindful of the information you choose to include in your display name or the text of your message.

Search Queries

When you use the search function on the site to find specific games, the site logs the search text you entered. In addition to the search terms, the logs include the browser user-agent, the referring page, and your session identifier.

To protect visitor privacy, the IP address associated with a search query is stored only as an irreversible hash. It is never stored in a readable form within the search logs.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

This website uses cookies and similar technologies to function correctly. A cookie is a small piece of data stored on your device by your web browser. The site sets its own session cookie to maintain your session as you move between pages. This cookie expires after 30 minutes of inactivity and is replaced every 30 minutes to enhance security.

In addition to first-party cookies, third-party services enabled on the site—such as Google Analytics, Google AdSense, and embedded game providers—may set their own cookies or similar identifiers. These third-party cookies are governed by the respective policies of those providers. You can control how your browser handles cookies through your browser settings, where you can choose to block or delete them. However, please note that some site features, advertisements, analytics or embedded games may behave differently when browser storage or third-party scripts are restricted. The site does not control the cookies set by third-party game providers when their content is loaded in an iframe.

Analytics

The site may use Google Analytics to measure and analyze traffic patterns. This service helps the operator understand how visitors interact with the website. When Google Analytics is enabled, it may use cookies or similar identifiers to collect data under Google's own privacy policies.

This data is used to generate reports on site usage, such as which game categories are most popular. The information collected by Google Analytics is subject to Google's data practices, and the site operator does not have direct control over how Google manages this data. Visitors can learn more about how Google uses data by visiting Google's privacy and terms page.

Advertising

This site may show advertisements served by Google AdSense to support its operation. When advertisements are displayed, Google may use cookies and similar identifiers to deliver them to your browser. These identifiers are used according to Google's own privacy policies.

The site does not use the information it collects to build advertising profiles of children. While ads are served by Google, the site operator does not control whether these advertisements are personalized or non-personalized for any specific visitor, as that is determined by Google's own systems and the visitor's own settings or consent.

Visitors can manage their ad preferences through Google's Ads Settings or by adjusting their browser's cookie configurations. As noted elsewhere, some advertisements may behave differently if you choose to restrict browser storage or third-party scripts. The presence of advertising allows the site to remain free to use for all visitors.

Third-Party Games and Embedded Content

Many of the games available on this site are embedded in iframes from third-party providers. When you load a game page, these third-party providers receive your IP address and may set their own cookies or other tracking technologies. This site lists and embeds these games but does not control the data practices of the external providers who built and published them.

Because these games are hosted on third-party servers, their data collection is governed by the privacy policies of the respective game developers or distributors. If a game stops working, it is deactivated and removed from the site collection. Visitors who have concerns about a specific game can use the report form or contact the operator. Please be aware that interacting with embedded content is the same as visiting the third-party provider's own website directly regarding how your IP address and browser information are handled by their servers.

Children’s Privacy

The audience for this site includes school-age children. Because of this, personal information is treated with extra care. Nothing that this site collects is used to build an advertising profile of a child.

The site does not require user accounts or registrations to play games, which limits the amount of personal information requested from younger visitors. Direct communication through the contact form or game comments is optional. We encourage parents and guardians to monitor their children's online activities and to use browser controls to manage how data is shared with third-party game providers and advertising services.

How Long We Keep Data

The site follows specific retention periods for different types of data. Raw page-view rows, which include details like the page path and device class, are deleted after 3 days. Only daily totals are kept beyond that timeframe.

Contact form messages and their associated metadata, including IP address and user-agent, are kept until they are manually deleted by an administrator. Reports submitted via the report form are stored with their status and review history. Comments posted on games remain on the site until they are removed or until the associated game is deleted. Session cookies expire automatically after 30 minutes of inactivity. This approach ensures that detailed visitor logs are not kept longer than necessary for site maintenance and security.

Your Rights and Choices

Visitors have several choices regarding their data on this site. You can choose not to provide optional information, such as your name or email address in the contact or comment forms. You can also browse the site without posting comments or liking games, which prevents the storage of your IP address for those specific actions.

Your browser provides tools to manage cookies and local storage. You can set your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. You may also use browser extensions to restrict third-party scripts, including those used for analytics and advertising. As previously stated, some site features, advertisements, analytics or embedded games may behave differently when browser storage or third-party scripts are restricted.

If you have previously submitted a comment or a message and wish to request its removal, you may contact the operator. Because the site does not use accounts, we cannot identify visitors by a username; requests must be linked to the specific information, such as an email address or specific comment, you provided.

Changes to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in site practices or how third-party services operate. Any updates will be posted directly to this page. Visitors are encouraged to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how their information is handled. The date of the most recent update will be reflected in the site's records.

How to Contact Us

The monitored mailbox for these inquiries is privacy [at] cargames [dot] lol. Messages sent to this address are read and can lead to titles being checked or information being reviewed by the site administrator.
