Abstract
Rust Statistics sets no cookies of its own and asks visitors for no account. This page defines what is recorded, who processes it, and what is not collected.
1. What the site collects
Rust Statistics has no user accounts and no sign-up. The web server records standard access logs for each request: the requesting IP address, the page requested, the time, and the browser's user-agent string. These logs are retained briefly and used to operate the site and to understand which pages are used. Visitor preferences such as light or dark appearance are stored in your own browser's local storage; that value stays on your device and is not sent to us.
2. Cloudflare
All requests to ruststatistics.org pass through Cloudflare, which delivers and protects the site. Cloudflare processes visitors' IP addresses and may set its own security cookie when it needs to verify that a request is not automated. That cookie belongs to Cloudflare, not to Rust Statistics.
3. Fonts and third-party files
The fonts used on this site are served from this site. The force wipe countdown page loads country flag images from jsDelivr, a public code and asset host; when your browser requests those files, jsDelivr receives your IP address and browser details. No Google service is used here.
4. Cookies and analytics
The site sets no cookies of its own. There is no analytics script and no advertising tracker. No profile of individual visitors is built, and nothing about visitors is sold or shared, because no such data is held.
5. Server data
The figures published on this site describe Rust servers, not people. They come from what each server publishes to the public server list and from direct queries to those servers: names, player counts, settings, descriptions and images. Player counts are totals only; the site does not list which players are connected. See the server directory and the live player count.

Appendix AQuestions
A.1Does Rust Statistics use cookies or analytics?
Rust Statistics sets no cookies of its own and runs no analytics or advertising scripts. A preference such as light or dark appearance is kept in your browser's local storage and never leaves your device. Cloudflare, which delivers the site, may set a security cookie of its own when checking for bots.
A.2What visitor data does Rust Statistics keep?
The web server keeps ordinary access logs: IP address, requested page, time and browser type. These are held briefly to run the site and see which pages are used. No accounts exist and no visitor profiles are built from them.
A.3Does the site show which players are on a server?
No. Server figures come from what each server publishes publicly and answers to direct queries, and player counts are totals only. The site does not record or display the identities of connected players.
