1. Who we are

Extra Special Studio (“we”, “us”) operates extraspecialstudio.co.uk, the public home for our mods, software, music, and community links.

Questions: Discord · GitHub

2. What this site collects

The studio website is a static site (GitHub Pages). We do not operate login accounts, comment systems, or a first-party analytics dashboard on this domain.

  • Hosting logs — GitHub Pages and your browser/CDN may log IP addresses, user agents, and requested URLs as part of normal web delivery. We do not use those logs directly for marketing profiles.
  • External links — CurseForge, Modrinth, GitHub, Discord, and donation pages have their own privacy policies when you leave this site.

3. Cookies and advertising

We may show optional third-party display advertising (for example Google AdSense or a developer-focused network such as EthicalAds) in a single sidebar on wide screens. Ads are not shown on narrow/mobile layouts.

  • Non-essential advertising cookies load only if you choose Accept on the cookie banner (UK PECR / GDPR).
  • If you choose Reject non-essential, we do not load the ad network script; the site remains usable without ads.
  • Ad partners may use cookies or similar tech to measure impressions and clicks. See Google’s Advertising policies when AdSense is enabled.

Your choice is stored in localStorage on your device under the key ess-cookie-consent. You can clear it in browser settings to see the banner again.

4. Desktop software (EST)

Extra Special Tracker (EST) is a separate Windows app with its own privacy policy. EST is local-first, free, and does not include third-party advertising SDKs. The website may be ad-supported; the EST app is not.

EST privacy policy

5. Children

This site is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

6. Changes

We may update this policy when we add features (for example enabling an ad network). The effective date at the top will change when we do.
