Privacy Policy
Your privacy is important to us
Last updated: April 19, 2026
Introduction
SkinsVault ("we", "our", or "us") operates skinsvault.gg (the "Site"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website.
By using the Site, you consent to the data practices described in this policy. If you do not agree with the terms of this Privacy Policy, please do not access the Site.
Information We Collect
Personal Data
We may collect personally identifiable information that you voluntarily provide to us, including:
- Name and email address (when you contact us)
- Any other information you choose to provide
Automatically Collected Information
When you visit our Site, we automatically collect certain information about your device:
- IP address and browser type
- Operating system and device information
- Pages visited, time spent on pages, and links clicked
- Referring website or application
- Date and time stamps of your visit
Affiliate Link Data
When you click on affiliate links to third-party platforms (Clash.gg, Cases.gg, CSGOEmpire, etc.), we may track that you clicked through our site. This helps us understand which platforms are most popular and earn affiliate commissions at no extra cost to you.
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies
This site sets two kinds of cookie. Google Analytics cookies (_ga and _ga_*) tell one visit from the next when we count readers. The Reddit Pixel cookie (_rdt_uuid) tells Reddit whether someone who saw or clicked one of our Reddit ads went on to visit or click through to a site, so we can see which ads work. If you are in the EEA, the UK or Switzerland both are off until you press Accept on the cookie card; elsewhere they are on unless you press Decline. Your answer is kept in your browser's local storage and you can change it by clearing that storage.
What We Store On Your Device
Up to three values in your browser's local storage, all of them set by something you did, all readable only by this site:
- skinsvault.locale — the language you picked
- skinsvault_theme — your display preference
- skinsvault_internal — only if you opened a link ending in ?sv_internal=1. It marks this browser as ours so our own testing stays out of our click stats. Opening ?sv_internal=0 removes it.
- skinsvault_cookie_consent — your answer on the cookie card, so we do not ask again.
None of them identifies you, none of them is sent anywhere, and clearing your browser storage removes them.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 and Vercel Web Analytics to count page views and see which pages people read. Vercel's is cookieless. Google's uses the cookies described above once you have accepted them; without consent it still counts the page view, but without a cookie, so it cannot tell whether two visits came from the same browser. Neither builds an advertising profile of you.
Reddit Pixel
We advertise on Reddit, and the Reddit Pixel reports two things back to Reddit: that a page on this site was visited, and that a Claim button was clicked. Reddit uses that to measure our ads and to show them to people more likely to find them useful. It runs under Reddit's own privacy policy. It does not load until you accept in the EEA, the UK or Switzerland, and not at all if you press Decline.
Affiliate Clicks
When you click a Claim button we record that the click happened: which brand, which page and placement it came from, the country and device type your browser reports, and a random identifier for that one click. We keep it so we can tell which of our pages are useful. It is not tied to a profile and nothing about it is stored on your device. Once you land on the operator's own site you are on their terms and their privacy policy, not ours.
Turning Analytics Off
Press Decline on the cookie card, or use any content blocker or browser tracking protection, which will stop the analytics scripts and the Reddit Pixel loading. The site works exactly the same without them.
