Site features
You should be able to read a guide and understand what happens when you use the site. This page explains the choices you control, what stays in your browser and which services help deliver the wiki.
Horde Defenders Wiki is an independent reference website at hordedefenders.wiki. It has no visitor account system or newsletter. Site search runs in your browser, and saved guides stay in that browser’s local storage. Google Analytics follows the regional defaults and choices explained below.
Regional analytics defaults
The site uses Google Analytics 4 to understand page views and basic visit information. From October 3, 2026, the Google tag applies a regional default without opening a floating notice: analytics cookies are denied by default in the European Economic Area (the 27 EU countries plus Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway), the United Kingdom and Switzerland. The default permits analytics cookies in other regions. Google applies these regions; the wiki does not infer your choice from your language or label a regional default as your consent.
Where analytics cookies are denied by the regional default, the tag can still send cookieless measurement signals. These requests can include page and device context and are not the same as disabling analytics completely. Reports based on restricted measurement have limits and may use modelling; they do not provide the same detail about users and sessions as cookie-based measurement. Choose Disable analytics below to stop this site’s Google tag and its measurement requests.
A saved explicit choice takes precedence. A valid earlier rejection continues to block the Google tag completely. Allow analytics cookies is an explicit choice that permits analytics storage. Local previews and unrelated preview domains do not load the tag.
Page-view configuration uses the fixed title and canonical address without query strings or fragments, and reduces the referring address to its website origin. Google’s default enhanced measurement can include scrolling, outbound clicks, file downloads and URL-based searches. The wiki adds no custom events for its search box, reading list or guide-tool inputs. Google signals and advertising personalization remain off; advertising storage, advertising user data and advertising personalization consent remain denied.
Your analytics choice
Regional analytics defaults apply unless you choose otherwise. JavaScript is needed to save a choice; with JavaScript disabled this site does not load analytics.
Use these controls to allow analytics cookies or disable analytics completely. Reading the wiki does not require either action. An allowance is stored in this browser for up to 180 days, then regional defaults apply again. A saved rejection, including an earlier rejection, keeps analytics off until you choose Allow analytics cookies or clear that choice from browser storage.
Disabling analytics stops new measurements, removes this site’s accessible _ga cookies and may refresh the page to apply the choice. If the browser cannot save the choice, the site keeps analytics disabled for the current page instead of refreshing into a lost choice. Storage restrictions may prevent a choice from carrying to another page or browser session. If saved choices cannot be read, automatic analytics stays paused until you explicitly allow it on that page.
The main choice is kept in local storage. Session storage is a fallback when that cannot be written, so the fallback is limited to this tab’s session. Other open tabs can apply a saved choice; some tabs may need refreshing. Analytics cookies have a maximum lifetime of 180 days and are not extended on each visit.
Changing a choice, clearing cookies or stopping new collection does not automatically delete information Google already received. Browser-storage limits do not define Google’s server-side retention. Your saved reading list is separate and is not cleared by the analytics controls.
Hosting and images
Cloudflare processes requests to deliver this website. Technical information can include your IP address, the requested address, browser information and request timing. This processing supports delivery and network security.
Game images, icons and credited video frames load from this site’s domain. Viewing them does not request images from their original media hosts. Following an external source link opens that publisher’s site, which has its own privacy practices.
Google Search Console remains in use for search-performance and indexing reports. These pages do not load a Search Console visitor-tracking script. Analytics choices do not remove the Search Console property or stop ordinary search-engine crawling.
YouTube videos
Some guides include optional YouTube players. Before you choose Load YouTube video or a video chapter, this site does not load the player or request YouTube thumbnails. Loading a player connects your browser to YouTube and Google; they receive technical information such as your IP address, browser details and the website origin needed to deliver the video.
The embedded player uses YouTube’s Privacy Enhanced Mode. This limits how video views are used for personalization; it does not mean that no data is sent or that playback is free of cookies or other storage. YouTube controls playback, availability, sign-in checks and any ads served within its player. The wiki does not start videos automatically.
Loading a video is separate from your Google Analytics choice. Disabling this site’s analytics does not block a YouTube player you choose to load. Reloading the page returns the player to its unloaded state; following Watch on YouTube opens YouTube under its own privacy practices.
Local reading-list control
Find saved articles in Guides using Saved in this browser. Saving and removing an item changes only this browser’s reading list; it is not synced to another device or sent to us.
Use the clear control below to remove only this site’s saved reading items from the current browser. It does not change your analytics choice or affect Roblox or other websites.
A language selection is saved in this browser to remember your preference. It does not change your analytics choice or redirect a URL you open. Clearing browser storage removes this preference.
Badge plans and reward examples
The badge-plan checker and reward example calculator run in your browser. Their selections and numbers are not saved, sent to a server or included in analytics events. They reset when you reload or leave the page.
These tools do not access your Roblox account, inventory, save data or purchase history. Their inputs are separate from the analytics choice.
Advertising status
This site is applying to Google AdSense. The wiki’s AdSense scripts are not enabled. Optional YouTube players may serve YouTube’s own ads after you choose to load them.
If the wiki enables its own advertising later, this notice and any required consent controls will be updated for the actual providers and data use. The analytics controls on this page do not control ads or data processing inside a YouTube player.
Contact and email correspondence
If any part of this explanation is unclear, use Contact to ask about the site’s data use. Email includes your sender address, message and any attachments you choose to send. Keep the message limited to the information needed for your question.
