Privacy Policy
This site, nocodepicks.com ("NocodePicks", "we", "us"), is operated by SIA Lightsource Games, registration No. 42103105077, registered office Nīcgales iela 18-11, Rīga, LV-1035, Latvia (lightsourcegames.com) , the data controller for the purposes of this policy and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This page explains what we collect, why, and your choices. We aim to collect as little as possible.
1. What we collect
- Usage analytics. We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how pages are used (pages viewed, approximate location, device/browser, referrer). This relies on cookies and similar identifiers.
- Server & security logs. Our hosting and CDN may process standard request data (IP address, user-agent, timestamps) to deliver the site and protect against abuse.
- Affiliate link clicks. When you click an outbound "Try / Visit" link, you pass through a redirect (
/go/…) that may record the click and forward you to the partner via an affiliate network. The partner may set its own cookie to attribute a referral. - Advertising (if shown). We may display third-party ads (e.g. Google AdSense). Ad partners may use cookies to serve and measure ads. (Not active at all times.)
We do not ask for or store names, emails, or payment details, there are no accounts on this site.
2. Cookies & similar technologies
Cookies are used for analytics and, where ads are shown, for advertising and measurement. Where required (e.g. for visitors in the EU/EEA/UK), advertising and non-essential cookies are only set after consent, and you can withdraw consent at any time via the cookie controls or your browser settings. Blocking cookies will not stop you reading the site.
3. Affiliate links & independence
NocodePicks is independent and reader-supported. Some outbound links are affiliate links: if you sign up or buy through them, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. This never changes our rankings or verdicts, we are not paid for placement. See our affiliate disclosure for details.
4. Third parties we share data with
We don't sell your personal data. Data is processed by the service providers that run the site and its measurement:
- Google, Analytics, and AdSense if ads are shown (policies.google.com/privacy).
- Affiliate networks, e.g. Impact.com and Dub, to attribute referrals when you click an affiliate link.
- Cloudflare, DNS and network/security layer.
5. Legal bases (EU/EEA/UK)
We rely on your consent for analytics and advertising cookies, and on our legitimate interests for security, basic operation, and aggregate, non-identifying statistics.
6. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your personal data, to object, to data portability, and to withdraw consent. EU/EEA/UK residents may lodge a complaint with their data protection authority. California residents may exercise rights under the CCPA/CPRA, including to opt out of any "sale"/"sharing" of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. To exercise any right, contact us below.
7. Data retention
Analytics data is retained per Google Analytics' configured retention period. Logs are kept only as long as needed for operation and security.
8. International transfers
Our providers may process data outside your country (including the United States). Where required, transfers rely on appropriate safeguards such as the providers' Standard Contractual Clauses.
9. Children
This site is intended for a general, professional audience and is not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect data from children.
10. Changes
We may update this policy; material changes will be reflected by the "Last updated" date above.
