Privacy

Dressmaker Wiki is a static site. There are no accounts, no logins, and nothing on it asks you for personal information. It runs the analytics services listed below.

Analytics

  • Google Analytics 4 counts visits and records which pages get used. It also records scroll depth, clicks that leave the site, file downloads and bounded search interactions. Search statistics use categories and result-count ranges, not your question text. Page addresses sent to Google omit query parameters and saved-design fragments. Google signals and ad personalization are switched off in its configuration. It loads after the page has finished loading.
  • Microsoft Clarity records sessions. That is more than counting: it captures pointer movement, clicks and scrolling so that pages can be replayed and aggregated into heatmaps. It does not start until you click, scroll or press a key. Recording skips dedicated search, catalogue, designer and calculator routes where URL state is used, as well as addresses with user query parameters or saved-design fragments. Ordinary guide pages can still record masked interactions, including short embedded checks. Navigation across the recording boundary opens a fresh document without forwarding the previous address, so an existing recording does not follow your inputs. Once it starts, Microsoft’s servers set their own cookies on clarity.ms and bing.com.

Each sets its own identifiers. They are not used to build a profile of you or to identify individual visitors.

Advertising

The home page and some of the most-read pages show ads from Adsterra. Banner and sponsored-card ads load in isolated frames on ads.dressmakerwiki.site, and from then on Adsterra and the advertisers it serves receive what any web request carries, including your IP address, your browser details and the address of the page, and may set their own cookies to choose ads and count them. Popunder ads are disabled. Clicking an advertisement can open the advertiser’s page.

What is stored in your browser

A same-tab search result click is kept temporarily in this tab so navigation does not erase it before analytics loads. It contains category labels and page paths, not the question or saved design, and expires after ten minutes. The site keeps your light or dark theme preference in your browser, so the page does not flash the other theme on the next visit.

If you use the achievement checklist, its handed-in card notes are also stored locally in this browser. They are not sent to Steam and do not sync between devices. Unchecking a card removes that note; clearing the site’s browser storage removes the saved checklist and theme preference.

What reaches Cloudflare

The site is served as static files from Cloudflare, so ordinary web server request logs exist at that layer, as they do for any website. They are not read or used for anything here.

Cloudflare also adds its own small analytics script, Web Analytics, to pages it serves to browsers. It reports page load timings and visit counts to Cloudflare, which describes it as cookieless. A content blocker stops it too.

Who runs this

This is an unofficial fan reference, not the studio’s site. More on the about page.

Opting out

A content blocker, or a browser that blocks third-party scripts, stops any analytics script here from loading. Every page works the same without them.
