1. Introduction
Infinity Area is operated from France. The processing of personal data carried out through this website is therefore subject, where applicable, to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), French data protection law and the requirements of the French Data Protection Authority (CNIL).
This website is intended for readers in the United States and other countries. Depending on your country or U.S. state of residence, additional privacy rights may also apply.
Our website uses cookies and related technologies. For simplicity, these technologies are collectively referred to as cookies throughout this policy.
Some cookies and similar technologies may also be placed or used by third-party services integrated into the Website.
This Privacy and Cookie Policy explains what information may be collected, how cookies are used, how we protect your information and what choices and rights are available to you.
2. What Are Cookies?
A cookie is a small file stored by your browser on your computer, smartphone, tablet or other device when you visit a website.
Information stored in cookies may be sent back to our servers or to the servers of relevant third parties during subsequent visits.
Cookies may be used to ensure that the Website works correctly, remember your preferences, measure Website traffic or, depending on your choices, support advertising and third-party services.
We do not sell our internal analytics data.
For our own audience measurement, we use a self-hosted instance of Matomo. This allows us to maintain direct control over our analytics infrastructure.
IP addresses used for our internal analytics are anonymized where configured.
Third-party advertising providers and embedded platforms may process information independently under their own privacy policies.

Scripts may be necessary for essential functionality or used for features such as analytics, advertising, video players and embedded content.
4. What Are Web Beacons and Tracking Pixels?
A web beacon, sometimes referred to as a tracking pixel, is a small and potentially invisible element used by websites or third-party services to measure traffic or interactions.
Depending on the technology involved, information such as page views, browser information, device information or interactions may be processed.
We make reasonable efforts to prevent non-essential tracking technologies from being activated before obtaining consent where consent is required.
5. Cookies
5.1 Essential and Functional Cookies
Some cookies are necessary for certain parts of the Website to work correctly.
These cookies may be used for security, session management, storing your cookie preferences and providing functionality explicitly requested by you.
Functional cookies may also remember certain choices so that you do not need to enter the same information every time you visit the Website.
Where permitted by applicable law, cookies that are strictly necessary for the operation of the Website may be placed without prior consent.
Disabling these cookies through your browser may prevent certain Website features from working correctly.
5.2 Analytics Cookies
We use Matomo for audience measurement and Website statistics.
Our Matomo installation is self-hosted on infrastructure under our control rather than relying exclusively on an external analytics provider.
We configure Matomo with privacy protection in mind and anonymize IP addresses where configured.
Analytics information may include pages visited, date and time of visits, approximate visit duration, referring pages or websites, browser type, device type, operating system, interactions with Website content and anonymized IP information.
This information helps us understand our audience, identify technical issues and improve our Website and editorial content.
Our internal Matomo analytics data is not sold to advertisers or data brokers.
5.3 Advertising and Marketing Cookies
Infinity Area is financed in part through online advertising.
Advertising providers may use cookies, local storage, pixels or similar technologies to display advertisements, measure their performance, prevent fraud and, depending on your choices and applicable law, personalize advertising.
Non-essential advertising and tracking technologies are subject to the choices available through our cookie consent system where consent is required.
Third-party advertising providers operate under their own privacy policies and may process information independently from Infinity Area.
6. Third-Party Cookies and Embedded Content
We make reasonable efforts to limit cookies and tracking technologies originating from third-party scripts.
However, our articles may contain content embedded from external platforms including YouTube, Dailymotion, Twitch, X, social networks, video platforms, advertising providers and other third-party services.
When third-party content is loaded or activated, the relevant provider may receive technical information about your browser, device, IP address or interaction with the embedded content.
These third parties are responsible for their own processing activities in accordance with their respective privacy policies.
Where required, our cookie consent system is designed to prevent non-essential cookies and advertising technologies from being activated until you have made your choice.
7. Managing, Disabling and Deleting Cookies
You can use your browser to automatically or manually delete cookies.
You can also configure your browser to prevent certain cookies from being stored or to notify you whenever a website attempts to place a cookie.
Please note that the Website may not function correctly if all cookies are disabled.
You can also change your consent preferences through the cookie management interface available on Infinity Area.
If you delete cookies or Website data from your browser, you may need to set your privacy choices again.

9. Information We May Process
Depending on how you use the Website and the choices you make, we may process limited categories of information including IP address or anonymized IP information, browser type and version, device type, operating system, pages visited, date and time of visits, referring website or source, interactions with Website content, cookie consent preferences, information voluntarily submitted through forms and technical information necessary for security and fraud prevention.
We do not intentionally request sensitive personal information simply to access or read our gaming content.
10. How We Use Information
Information processed through the Website may be used to operate and secure the Website, deliver requested functionality, understand Website traffic and audience trends, improve our articles and user experience, diagnose technical problems, prevent abuse, spam and fraudulent activity, remember privacy and cookie preferences, display and measure advertising and comply with applicable legal obligations.
11. Advertising Partners
Our Website may work with advertising providers to monetize our content.
Our current advertising partners may include RollerAds.
Advertising partners operate under their own terms and privacy policies and may process information independently when their technologies are used on the Website.
The availability of personalized or targeted advertising may depend on your location, browser settings, consent choices and the technologies used by the advertising provider.
12. Sale and Sharing of Personal Information
We do not sell our internal Matomo analytics database or directly sell personal information collected through our own analytics system in exchange for money.
However, certain U.S. state privacy laws define terms such as sale, sharing or targeted advertising more broadly than an ordinary monetary sale.
As a result, some data processing performed by advertising or third-party technology providers may fall within these definitions depending on the applicable law and the technologies in use.
Where required by applicable law, eligible users may exercise available opt-out rights regarding such processing.
13. Your Rights Under the GDPR and French Data Protection Law
Where the GDPR applies, you may have the right to know why your personal data is processed, how it is used and how long it is retained.
Right of access: you may request access to personal data we hold about you.
Right to rectification: you may request the correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data.
Right to erasure: you may request deletion of personal data in circumstances provided by applicable law.
Right to restriction: you may request that certain processing activities be restricted.
Right to data portability: where applicable, you may request certain personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format.
Right to object: you may object to certain processing activities where the law provides such a right.
Withdrawal of consent: where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with the French Data Protection Authority, CNIL, or another competent supervisory authority where applicable.
14. Additional Rights for U.S. Residents
Depending on the U.S. state in which you live and whether the applicable privacy law applies to our activities, you may have additional rights regarding your personal information.
These rights may include access, correction, deletion, obtaining a copy of certain personal information and opting out of certain forms of targeted advertising, sale or sharing of personal information.
These rights are not identical in every U.S. state and may be subject to legal exceptions.
We will not unlawfully discriminate against you for exercising a privacy right available to you under applicable law.
15. California Privacy Rights
California residents may have additional rights under applicable California privacy laws.
Depending on whether those laws apply to a particular processing activity, eligible California residents may have rights concerning access, correction, deletion and certain uses or disclosures of personal information.
California law may also provide eligible consumers with the right to opt out of certain activities legally defined as the sale or sharing of personal information.
A request can be submitted using the contact information provided below.
16. Children’s Privacy
Our Website provides general gaming news and editorial content and is not designed as a service specifically directed at children under the age of 13.
We do not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children under 13 through our general Website services.
If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us inappropriately, please contact us so that we can review the situation.
17. Data Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect the information processed through our Website.
However, no Internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
We therefore cannot guarantee absolute security of information transmitted or stored online.
18. Data Retention
We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including Website operation, analytics, security and applicable legal requirements.
Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the service involved.
Third-party providers may apply their own retention periods according to their respective privacy policies.
19. International Visitors and Data Transfers
Infinity Area is operated from France and our Website may use service providers or infrastructure located in different countries.
As a result, information may be processed in countries other than the country in which you reside.
Where required, we apply appropriate safeguards for international transfers of personal data in accordance with applicable European and French data protection law.
20. Matomo Opt-Out
Although we configure our internal analytics with privacy in mind, you may choose to opt out of Matomo analytics where the opt-out functionality is made available on this page.
Your opt-out preference may depend on your browser and device. Clearing browser data may require you to set your preference again.
21. Your Privacy Choices
You can manage your privacy preferences through our cookie consent interface.
You may also use browser privacy controls, cookie settings and other privacy preference mechanisms where supported.
Requests relating to personal information can be submitted using the contact information below.
We may need to verify a request before acting on it, particularly where disclosure, correction or deletion of personal information is requested.
