Current service status
The site loads Google AdSense to connect to Google advertising and its privacy messages. Ad requests start paused. Advertising storage, ad user data, ad personalization and analytics storage default to denied. Google Analytics 4 loads only after an explicit analytics choice, either through Google’s privacy message where applicable or the optional analytics control in Privacy choices elsewhere. If consent settings are unavailable, advertising requests and analytics stay off. Loading an advertising or consent script sends a request to Google even while ad requests are paused; existing Google cookies may be read, but pausing does not set new advertising cookies or use existing cookie data for ad serving or measurement.
Analytics data
If you allow analytics, Google may receive page visits, approximate location derived from an IP address, browser or device information, language and interaction events. Our tool events measure the first planner selection, a copied share link, image export and submitted search result counts. These custom events exclude the search text, selected evolution list and shared-link contents; they use the page path without its query or fragment.
Advertising and cookies
Everything is Crab Guide integrates Google AdSense, an advertising service provided by Google LLC. When advertising is available and the required consent is given, Google and its advertising partners may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on prior visits to this and other websites. They may process pages viewed, approximate location derived from an IP address, browser and device information, and ad interactions. Advertising availability depends on Google’s approval and applicable privacy choices. We do not sell contact messages or email addresses to advertisers.
Hosting and performance measurements
Cloudflare delivers and protects this site. Its Web Analytics beacon measures page performance without analytics cookies, separately from the optional Google Analytics choice. Cloudflare also processes request information to deliver and secure pages.
Cookies and similar technologies
The static guide has no account, checkout, comments, or user-profile database. Outside Google’s European consent message, we save your optional analytics choice in this browser for 180 days unless you clear it earlier. Optional Google Analytics cookies are configured to last 180 days. Consent choices made in Google’s message use that provider’s own storage and retention rules. Withdrawal stops future site analytics events and clears this site’s Google Analytics cookies; it does not erase information already sent to Google. If local browser storage is unavailable, the local choice applies only to this page.
Consent for Google advertising
For visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, advertising requires Google’s certified consent management platform and its IAB Transparency and Consent Framework message. When that message is available, Privacy choices at the bottom of each page reopens it to change or withdraw consent. Advertising requests remain paused without affirmative advertising consent. Unknown, unavailable or unconfigured settings never count as permission. If the privacy message is blocked or unavailable, no advertising consent is inferred and the guides remain usable.
Advertising choices
Google Ads Settings lets you manage personalized advertising. You can also use the advertising choice services for the United States or Europe and the United Kingdom. These services may allow opting out of some vendors’ personalized advertising; opting out does not necessarily remove all ads. Browser cookie controls offer additional options. On this site, use Privacy choices to review the consent message where it applies, or to allow or decline optional analytics elsewhere.
Email and correction data
If you email corrections, localization feedback, media permissions, or a removal request, the message and contact details are used to handle that request and retain an accountable correction record. Do not send passwords, payment details, identity documents, or unrelated sensitive information.
External links and retention
Steam, Google, Reddit, community platforms, and other linked sites have their own privacy policies and retention practices. This site does not control their pages. The guide retains static content and correction records needed to operate and document the site; third-party retention is governed by the relevant provider.
