Privacy Policy

At ETS2Cloud, we value and respect the privacy of every person who visits our website. This Privacy Policy is intended to clearly explain what information we collect, why we collect it, how it is used, how it is protected, and what choices you have regarding your personal data.

By using ETS2Cloud, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. We encourage you to read this document carefully and contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

This policy applies to the ETS2Cloud website hosted on the Blogger platform and all content published under it. It does not apply to third-party websites or platforms that may be linked from our pages.

Information We Collect

ETS2Cloud does not require users to create an account or submit personal information to access our content. However, certain information may be collected automatically when you visit our website, either by our platform infrastructure or through third-party services we use.

The types of data that may be collected include:

• Log Data: When you visit ETS2Cloud, our hosting platform (Blogger, a Google product) may automatically record technical information such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, and timestamps.
• Cookies: Our website uses cookies — small text files stored on your device — to enhance your experience and enable certain website features and advertising functions. More details about cookies are provided in the section below.
• Analytics Data: We may use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our website. This includes data such as pageviews, session duration, bounce rate, and general geographic location (country/city level).
• Advertising Data: If advertisements are displayed on our website through Google AdSense, Google may collect data about your browsing behavior to serve relevant ads.

Cookies

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the website remember your preferences and improve your browsing experience. ETS2Cloud uses cookies for the following purposes:

• Essential Cookies: These cookies are necessary for the basic functionality of the website, such as page navigation and security.
• Analytics Cookies: Used by Google Analytics to collect anonymous information about how visitors use the site. This helps us understand which content is most popular and how to improve the user experience.
• Advertising Cookies: Used by Google AdSense to deliver advertisements that are relevant to your interests, based on your browsing activity across websites.

You have the right to accept or decline cookies. You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies at any time.

Google Analytics

ETS2Cloud may use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC. Google Analytics collects information about how you use our website through cookies and similar tracking technologies. The data collected includes pages viewed, time spent on the site, traffic sources, and general location data.

This information is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google uses this information to evaluate the use of our website and to compile reports on website activity. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf.

You can opt out of Google Analytics data collection by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Google AdSense & Advertising

ETS2Cloud may display advertisements served by Google AdSense, an advertising platform operated by Google LLC. Google AdSense uses cookies to show ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites across the internet. This is known as interest-based or personalized advertising.

Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to ETS2Cloud and other sites on the internet. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings page at g.co/adsettings.

Alternatively, you can opt out of third-party vendor use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting aboutads.info/choices or youronlinechoices.eu (for European users).

Please note that opting out of personalized ads does not mean you will stop seeing advertisements. You may still see generic, non-personalized ads.

Third-Party Services

Our website may utilize or link to third-party platforms and services, including but not limited to:

• Blogger / Google: Our website is hosted on Blogger, a blogging platform operated by Google. Google's Privacy Policy governs data processed through Blogger infrastructure.
• Google Analytics: For website traffic analysis.
• Google AdSense: For displaying advertisements.
• Social Media Platforms: We maintain a presence on Instagram (@ets2cloud). When you interact with our social media pages, those platforms collect and process your data in accordance with their own privacy policies.
• Mod Platforms: Links on our website may direct you to external mod repositories such as Steam Workshop, ModLand, Sharemods, and others. These platforms have their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them before providing any personal information.

ETS2Cloud is not responsible for the privacy practices of any third-party websites or services. We recommend that you review the privacy policy of each external site you visit.

How We Use Information

The data collected through our website and third-party services is used for the following purposes:

• To monitor and analyze website traffic and performance.
• To improve the quality and relevance of our content.
• To display advertisements to support the operation of the website.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third parties for their own marketing purposes.

Children's Privacy

ETS2Cloud is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Euro Truck Simulator 2 is a simulation game generally intended for players aged 3 and above (as rated by PEGI), but our website content is designed for a general audience including adults.

If you are a parent or guardian and you believe your child has provided personal information to our website, please contact us at ets2cloud@proton.me and we will take steps to remove that information from our records as soon as possible.

Data Security

We take reasonable precautions to protect the information on our website and ensure that it is not subject to unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, please be aware that no method of data transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure.

We use ProtonMail — a privacy-focused, end-to-end encrypted email service — for all communications. This ensures that your email correspondence with us remains private and secure.

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have certain rights with respect to your personal data, including:

• The right to access personal data we hold about you.
• The right to request correction of inaccurate data.
• The right to request deletion of your data.
