DragonSword Guide is an independent fan-made guide site. We use Google Analytics 4 to understand site usage. Analytics requests send information from your browser to Google. The interactive map also sends usage events, such as filter changes and marker completion, when Analytics is available.

When last checked on November 5, 2026, enhanced measurement was enabled for our web data stream. Depending on the page and interaction, it can measure page changes, scrolling, outbound link clicks, site searches, video engagement, file downloads and form interactions. Site-search measurement can use search terms found in URL parameters named q, s, search, query or keyword. These settings do not mean every interaction is recorded.

Our web data stream also had email redaction enabled. Google Analytics attempts to remove text that looks like an email address from event data before it is sent, but this is a best-effort measure and does not guarantee removal of all personal information. It does not evaluate HTTP headers or prevent collection through other data input methods.

When last checked on November 4, 2026, our Google Analytics property was configured to retain event data for two months and user data for fourteen months, with the user-data period reset by new activity. These settings do not describe the retention of cookies, aggregated reports or data held by other services.

Some content pages load third-party advertising from Adsterra. Ad requests connect your browser to advertising providers, which may receive information such as your IP address and browser details. Adsterra publishes its privacy policy and cookies policy. You can use browser settings or extensions to limit cookies and third-party requests; this site does not provide a separate advertising consent control.

The English and Japanese homepages embed a YouTube player using youtube-nocookie.com. Your browser may connect to YouTube when the player loads, even if you do not leave this site.

The interactive map saves the IDs of locations you mark as found in your browser's local storage so your progress can be restored on this device. The site does not set an expiration for this entry; clearing the map progress or your browser's site data removes it.

External links may take you to Steam, YouTube, Discord or other third-party services. Their privacy policies apply when you leave this site.
