Who we are
Leonida Verse is an independent fan project with no affiliation to Rockstar Games, Take-Two Interactive, or their subsidiaries. The site hosts an unofficial interactive map of Leonida, the Leonida Gazette (GTA VI news) and the Leonida Codex (guides and tips).
The site is operated by an individual, reachable at leonidaverse@gmail.com.
What data we collect
We aim for the strict minimum. Here is the full list of what the site processes:
- Language preference: a technical cookie remembers your EN or FR choice for up to one year. It contains no personal identifier.
- Server logs: our hosting provider retains short-lived technical logs for security and performance, including IP address, user-agent and requested path.
- Map contributions: if you submit a point of interest, only the data you deliberately type is stored (title, description, coordinates). No personal information is required.
- Google AdSense advertising: article pages (/news/...) display ads served by Google AdSense. Google and its partners may set third-party cookies and use your IP address to deliver, measure, and (depending on your consent) personalise ads. See the dedicated section below.
What we don't do: no user accounts, no data resale. No third-party behavioural analytics tool (Meta Pixel, Hotjar, Google Analytics) is loaded outside of AdSense.
Cookies
The site sets one strictly necessary cookie (the language preference described above), exempt from prior consent under EU guidelines.
On article pages, Google AdSense and its partners may set third-party advertising cookies (including __gads, __gpi, IDE) for ad delivery and measurement. These cookies are managed through Google's own controls.
Google AdSense advertising
Leonida Verse shows Google AdSense ads only on article pages (/news/...). No other page (map, countdown, home, codex) loads any advertising script.
Google and its partners use cookies and advertising identifiers to serve ads based on your previous visits to this site and other sites. You can opt out of personalised advertising via Google's Ad Settings or via youronlinechoices.eu for European advertisers as a whole.
For more details on Google's practices, see the Google Advertising Policy.
Hosting and processors
The site relies on hosting, CDN and database providers operating on infrastructure located in the European Union.
Each of these vendors acts as a data processor under the GDPR. Their own privacy policies apply to the infrastructure they operate on our behalf.
Your rights
Under the GDPR and equivalent laws, you have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, port, and object to the processing of your personal data.
To exercise these rights, email leonidaverse@gmail.com. You can also lodge a complaint with your local data-protection authority.
External links
The site regularly cites external sources (press articles, videos, social posts). Leonida Verse is not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party sites. Please review their own notices before browsing.
Updates
This policy may evolve if the site's scope changes (for instance, adding user accounts). Any change will be dated at the top of this page. The current version was published on 2026-05-18.
