Analytics and Product Improvement
We use Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity to understand page views, clicks, scrolling behavior, general device and browser context, referrers, and other aggregate usage patterns.
These tools help us measure content quality, navigation friction, and site performance. They may use cookies or similar technologies under their own privacy terms.
Security, Delivery, and Abuse Prevention
We use Cloudflare to cache content, deliver pages and static assets, filter malicious traffic, and keep the site available.
Cloudflare may process IP address, request metadata, and strictly necessary security or challenge cookies or tokens when serving cached content or protecting the site from abuse.
Browser Storage and Preferences
PokopiaMap stores language selection and theme preference in first-party localStorage and a first-party cookie.
We also store on-device gameplay helpers such as collected Pokemon, favorites, and map found or hidden markers in browser storage. Some temporary list or filter states may be kept in sessionStorage.
These records stay on your device unless you choose to export or share them, and you can clear them in your browser at any time.
Sync Codes, QR, and Share Features
If you use favorites sync, QR import or export, or collection share cards, PokopiaMap can generate a unified sync code, QR code, downloadable image, or native share payload from the data already stored in your browser.
We do not create an account for these tools. Information is transferred or shared only when you explicitly copy, scan, download, or send it.
Contact and Data Use
We do not sell personal data. We use information only to operate the site, support advertising, analyze usage, protect against abuse, and improve content.
