On a sidenote: the game ist (fun) advertisment for a website selling a book. When I visit this site (me sitting in Europe) they immediately set the _ga cookie (tested on vanilla Chrome on purpose). There is no privacy banner at all, they just set the cookie. They probably left out the banner to save my time, no?

EDIT: gumroad sets the cookie, not bigdatagirl. Does that make it better?

Hey, It's me the guy who made both those things. We spent along time removing all non essential cookies from the site, so i'm not sure what your getting. I just panicked and tried on vanilla chrome, and couldn't find that cookie? We have no GA but use fathom instead. But if it's there I want to remove it asap. Let me know if you have any more info

p.s. We have gumroad's trackers off. They seem to be one of the only payment system that allows that. https://gumroad.com/gumroad/p/turn-off-trackers-enhance-your...

I may be completely off, but would love to get this resolved.
