Privacy Policy
Last updated: 18.09.2026
This policy explains how we handle your personal information when you visit our World of Tanks game guide. We keep it short and plain — no legal jargon, no hidden clauses.
Who runs this site
This guide is operated by the team behind torvan.online. If you have a question about your data or want to exercise any of the rights listed below, reach us at info@torvan.online and we will respond within 30 days.
What we collect — and what we don't
- Your IP address and browser fingerprint (device type, OS, screen size) — used only to serve the page and block abuse.
- Cookie identifiers set by us and by our ad/affiliate partners — only after you consent via the banner.
- On-site behaviour: which guide sections you read, how long you stay, and which links you click.
- We do NOT collect your in-game World of Tanks account name, tank roster, battle history, or any data from the game itself. This site is a reader guide, not a game client.
Why we process it
- To show you relevant ads and measure whether our guide actually helps new players find their first tank — with your consent.
- To credit our affiliate partners when you click through to the World of Tanks download page — with your consent.
- To keep the site secure from bots, scrapers, and fraudulent traffic — based on legitimate interest.
- To improve the guide itself (which tips get read, which sections get skipped) — with your consent.
Our advertising and affiliate partners
When you click the "Play World of Tanks" button on this page, you are redirected to the official game download through our affiliate link. The game publisher and our affiliate network may set their own cookies on that destination site — their policies apply there, not here. On this guide, we work with standard ad-tech vendors (Google Ads, Network Advertising Initiative members) to display and measure ads.
You can opt out of personalised advertising at any time:
- Network Advertising Initiative: optout.networkadvertising.org
- EU: Your Online Choices — youronlinechoices.eu
- US: NAI Consumer Opt-Out — aboutads.info/choices
Cookies on this guide
We only set non-essential cookies (analytics, ad measurement, affiliate click tracking) after you hit "Accept" on the cookie banner. The full list of cookie names, providers, and how long each one lives is in our Cookie Policy.
Your rights (EU/UK and similar)
If you live in the EU, EEA, UK, or a region with comparable data-protection law, you can: ask what we hold about you; correct it if it's wrong; ask us to delete it; stop us from processing it for a specific purpose; get a copy in a machine-readable format; withdraw consent you've given; and complain to your local data-protection authority. Email info@torvan.online to exercise any of these.
Cross-border transfers
Our ad and analytics vendors are based in the US and EU. Where data crosses borders, we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses or an equivalent recognised safeguard, as required by law.
How long we keep it
Cookie and click data is deleted or anonymised after 90 days. We don't build long-term profiles of individual readers. If you ask us to delete your data, we do so within 30 days unless a legal obligation requires us to keep a record.
Not for kids
This guide is aimed at players of World of Tanks, which is rated for teens and up. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 16. If you believe a child has sent us data, email us and we will delete it.
Changes
If we change how we handle your data, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We won't change anything that materially reduces your protections without telling you first.
