Privacy

Last changed 7 November 2026.

This site has no accounts and no forms, and our own code sets no cookies. It counts visits, its web server keeps a log of requests, and its home page shows ads from Google. This page says what is kept and why.

Visit counts

We keep basic anonymized analytics so we can keep the service running and free from errors, and see which parts of it people use so we can improve it. Apart from the ad network, described under Ads below, the only third parties we rely on are those that provide infrastructure, such as your internet provider and Cloudflare, or assets and login services, such as Google.

The counts set no cookies and store nothing that identifies you.

Server logs

Our web server writes a line for each request it answers: the time, the page or file asked for, the page you came from, the browser and operating system your device reports, and your IP address. The logs stay on our own machines and are separate from the visit counts.

The player count

The number of players online comes from our own server, which asks the Minecraft server and remembers the answer for 30 seconds. Your browser asks pwnedgalaxy.net for it and never contacts the Minecraft server or a status site.

Cookies and your browser

Our own code sets no cookies and saves nothing in your browser's storage. The site's fonts, images and our own scripts all load from pwnedgalaxy.net. Cloudflare, which carries the site, adds one script of its own that loads from Cloudflare. On the home page, Google's ad script loads from Google and uses the cookies described under Ads. The Copy buttons put the server address on your clipboard when you press one, and read nothing from it.

Ads

The home page shows ads. They come through Google, the only ad network we use. This page and the page you get at an address that doesn't exist show none.

Google, and the other ad networks whose ads Google shows, place and read cookies in your browser and use web beacons and your IP address to show ads and count them. If you allow it, they also use those cookies to choose ads based on your earlier visits to this site and to other websites. This site has no accounts, and we never give them your Minecraft username, your player ID or anything you do on the server.

If you visit from the EEA, the UK or Switzerland, Google's consent message asks you first. You can change your choice at any time with Privacy and cookie settings at the foot of the home page. To turn off personalised ads, use Google's Ads Settings, or aboutads.info for many ad networks at once. Google explains how it uses information from sites and apps that use its services.

Other services

This page covers the website only. The Minecraft server at mc.pwnedgalaxy.net, our Discord, the store, Gaming Galaxy, and the vote pages on Planet Minecraft and Minestatus are separate services. This site loads nothing from them. Once you follow a link or join the server, that service's own policy applies.
