404 Memory Found is a nostalgia blog. We keep things simple. We collect anonymous visitor counts (no personal data attached), cookie preferences you set via our cookie banner, guestbook entries you voluntarily submit (name, email, message), and basic analytics through standard web server logs (IP address, browser type, pages visited).
We use minimal cookies to remember your cookie consent preference, store local game leaderboard data (Pong), and remember if you've seen the welcome tutorial. No tracking cookies, no ad cookies, no third-party marketing cookies.
We use Firebase Realtime Database to store Snake game leaderboard scores globally. When you submit a Snake score, your chosen display name and score are stored. We use CounterAPI for anonymous visitor counting. We use Unsplash for post images, which may load assets from their CDN.
We don't sell, trade, or share your personal information with anyone. Your guestbook entries are stored for display purposes only. You can request removal of your guestbook entry by emailing us.

This site is built for fun and nostalgia. We take your privacy seriously even if we don't take ourselves too seriously.

Remember: on the internet of the 90s, terms of use were just a checkbox nobody read. We've tried to make ours actually worth reading.
