Who We Are

Martian Games is an indie game studio operating martiangames.com. We make free browser-based multiplayer games. We do not sell products, run user accounts, or process payments.

What We Collect

We collect the minimum necessary to operate the site and understand how it is used.

Analytics (anonymous)

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) via Google Tag Manager to collect anonymous usage data: pages visited, session duration, device type, and general geographic region (country/city level). No personally identifiable information is collected through analytics. GA4 property ID: 364600886.

We also track specific interaction events — clicks on game launch buttons, social icon clicks, and scroll depth — to understand how visitors engage with the site. No personal data is attached to these events.

Leaderboard scores

If you submit a score to the Tank Off leaderboard, we store the name or tag you enter along with your score. We do not require an account. Do not enter your real name if you prefer to remain anonymous.

Newsletter signup (optional)

If you choose to subscribe to game updates, we collect your email address and the game interests you select. This information is stored in Google Sheets and used only to send occasional Martian Games news. We do not share it with third parties. You can unsubscribe at any time by emailing support@martiangames.com with the subject "Unsubscribe".

Cookies and Tracking

We use cookies and browser storage for:

• Analytics — Google Analytics 4 sets cookies to distinguish sessions and track site usage anonymously.
• Tag management — Google Tag Manager loads and manages analytics scripts.
• Community voting — a session cookie remembers whether you have voted in a community poll to prevent duplicate votes.

We do not use advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, or sell cookie data. You can disable cookies in your browser settings. Google Analytics can be opted out via the GA opt-out browser add-on.

For full details on what cookies are set, see our Cookie Policy.

Third-Party Services

The site embeds content from the following third parties, which may set their own cookies:

• YouTube — video embeds on game pages (YouTube Privacy Policy)
• CrazyGames — some games are also playable on CrazyGames.com
• Steam — Steam widget embeds on select pages
• Google Tag Manager / GA4 — analytics (described above)

We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third-party services.

Data Retention

GA4 analytics data is retained for 14 months (Google’s default). Newsletter email addresses are held until you unsubscribe. Leaderboard scores are stored indefinitely as part of the public game record.

Children’s Privacy

Martian Games is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has submitted personal information through this site, contact us and we will delete it promptly.
