Cookies & Local Storage
This site sets no advertising cookies and no tracking cookies. It stores a handful of preferences in your own browser, and — only if you agree — one analytics tag. Everything it stores is listed below by name. Nothing is hidden in a category.
Last updated: — the Vice City Streets game and its save were removed.
Strictly necessary — always on
These are set without consent because the site cannot work without them. Under the EU ePrivacy Directive and the UK’s PECR, storage that is strictly necessary for a service you asked for is exempt from consent. All of these live in local storage on your device and are never transmitted.
| Key | What it holds | Why | Expires |
|---|---|---|---|
gta6hub_consent | all or necessary |
Remembers your cookie choice so you are not asked on every page | Until you clear it |
gta6hub_sub | That you already signed up | So the signup prompt stops appearing | Until you clear it |
gta6hub_promo_* | Which banners you dismissed | So a dismissed banner stays dismissed | Until you clear it |
vc-resize | Your layout preference | To keep the view you chose | Until you clear it |
None of these identify you to anyone. They are readable only by this site, in your browser, on this device.
Optional — off until you accept
Nothing in this section loads until you press Accept. If you choose “Necessary only”, or ignore the banner entirely, the script below is never fetched and these cookies are never created.
| Cookie | Set by | Purpose | Expires |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga | Google Analytics 4 | Distinguishes one browser from another | 2 years |
_ga_* | Google Analytics 4 | Keeps session state for this property | 2 years |
Analytics runs with IP anonymisation enabled. It is used to see which pages are worth writing — nothing more. There is no advertising integration, no remarketing, no Google Signals, and no data sharing for advertising purposes.
Your choice, and changing it
The banner appears once. Whatever you pick is remembered in gta6hub_consent.
- Accept — necessary storage plus analytics.
- Necessary only — the first table, nothing else. The site works identically.
To change your mind at any time: clear this site’s data in your browser, and the banner will ask again on your next visit. Withdrawing consent is exactly as easy as giving it, which is what the GDPR requires.
Global Privacy Control: if your browser sends a GPC signal, it is treated as a refusal and analytics stay off, whatever the banner says.
Third parties your browser contacts
Some of these are contacted even with analytics off, because they serve the page itself. They can see your IP address as a consequence of your browser requesting a file from them.
| Who | When | Sets cookies? |
|---|---|---|
| Netlify — hosting | Every visit | No |
| Google Fonts | Every visit | No — font files only |
| Google Analytics | Only after you accept | Yes — the table above |
| YouTube | Only if you play an embedded video | Yes, by YouTube. Embeds use the no-cookie domain where possible |
| Discord / Ko-fi | Only if you follow a link or use those features | On their own sites, under their own policies |
Blocking storage in your browser
You can block or clear everything here without asking anyone. The site is built to survive it — blocking storage costs you your saved game and your dismissed banners, and nothing else.

Where you are
EEA, UK and Switzerland — consent is collected before any non-essential storage, refusing is as easy as accepting, and refusal is remembered. Strictly necessary storage is exempt under the ePrivacy Directive and PECR.
United States — nothing here is sold or shared for cross-context behavioural advertising, so there is no “Do Not Sell or Share” link to click. GPC is honoured regardless.
Everywhere else — the same banner and the same choice are offered to everyone. There is no region where analytics load without being accepted first.
