Welcome to Pixl Perfect (“we”, “us”, or “our”), a gaming news website located at pixlperfect.uk. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information is collected when you visit our site, how it is used, and your rights under UK GDPR.
If you have any questions about this policy, please contact us at hey.pixlperfect@gmail.com.
Who we are
Pixl Perfect is a gaming news publication operated as a sole trader based in the United Kingdom. Our website is pixlperfect.uk. For the purposes of UK GDPR, we are the data controller for information collected through this site.
What Information Is Collected
We do not directly collect personal information such as your name, email address, phone number, or postal address through this website. However, certain third-party services we use may collect technical data automatically when you visit, including: your IP address, browser type and version, device type, operating system, pages visited on our site, time and date of your visit, time spent on pages, and referring website addresses. This data is collected by third-party services described below and is used for analytics and advertising purposes.
Cookies
Our website uses cookies — small text files stored on your device. Cookies are used by the third-party services we use to serve advertising and analyse site traffic. When you first visit our site, you will be shown a cookie consent banner giving you the option to accept, decline, or manage cookie preferences. You may withdraw or change your consent at any time.
You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of our site.
Google AdSense
We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on our website. Google AdSense uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to our site and other sites on the internet.
You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google’s Ads Settings or by visiting aboutads.info.
For more information on how Google uses data when you use our site, please visit How Google uses data when you use our partners’ sites or apps.
Google Analytics (Site Kit)
We use Google Analytics via Google Site Kit to understand how visitors interact with our website. Google Analytics collects information such as how often users visit the site, which pages they visit, and what other sites they used prior to visiting. We use this information to improve our content and user experience.
Google Analytics collects only the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit this site, rather than your name or other identifying information. We do not combine the information collected through Google Analytics with personally identifiable information.
You can prevent Google Analytics from recognising you on return visits by disabling cookies in your browser or by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Poll Voting (Supabase)
Our website features a weekly poll. When you cast a vote, a single anonymous record is stored in our database (hosted by Supabase) containing the poll identifier and your selected option. No personal information is stored alongside your vote. Your vote preference is also stored locally in your browser (via localStorage) so that the site can show you results rather than the voting form on return visits. This local data does not leave your device.
Affiliate Links
Some links on Pixl Perfect are affiliate links, meaning we may earn a small commission if you click through and make a purchase, at no additional cost to you. Affiliate links appear in our articles, our weekly deals feature, our release calendar, and our upcoming releases widget. Where affiliate links appear, we aim to clearly indicate this. Clicking an affiliate link may result in the retailer or affiliate network placing a cookie on your device in accordance with their own privacy policies.
Third-Party Websites
Our website may contain links to third-party websites. Once you leave pixlperfect.uk, we are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of any site you visit.

Data Retention
Anonymous poll votes are retained indefinitely for the purpose of historical record keeping. We do not retain any other personal data directly. Data collected by Google AdSense and Google Analytics is retained in accordance with Google’s own data retention policies.
Children’s Privacy
Our website is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through our site, please contact us and we will take steps to remove it.
