Who runs this site

Scripts For Unity (scriptsforunity.com) is run by Mete, an independent Unity developer. "We" and "us" in this policy mean the site and the person who runs it.

Google Analytics

The site uses Google Analytics 4, a service from Google, to understand how it is used. When you visit, Google Analytics records:

• the pages you view, how you arrived (for example from a search engine or another site) and roughly how long you stay;
• your browser, device type, operating system, screen size and language;
• your approximate location (country and city), which Google works out from your IP address. Google Analytics 4 does not log or store IP addresses;
• a few actions on the site: downloading a script or kit, choosing, copying, downloading or resetting a template in the playground, and clicking a link to one of our tools on the Unity Asset Store.

We see this information as totals and trends, such as how many people read a page or downloaded a script. We cannot use it to identify you, and we do not combine it with any other data. We use it to decide what to improve and what to make next.

Google processes this data under its own terms. You can read how Google uses information from sites that use its services and Google's privacy policy. Analytics data is kept for the retention period set in our Google Analytics account, at most 14 months, and is then deleted.

Cookies

When cookies are allowed (see Your choice below), Google Analytics sets these first-party cookies on scriptsforunity.com:

• _ga: a random ID that tells one visitor's visits apart from another's. Lasts up to 2 years.
• _ga_<ID>: keeps track of the current visit. Lasts up to 2 years.
• _gali: briefly records which link you clicked, so links that lead to the same page can be told apart. Lasts about 30 seconds.

The site does not set any other cookies of its own.

Your choice

The first time you visit, a banner asks you to Accept all or Reject all. The site uses Google Consent Mode to apply your answer:

• Accept all: Google Analytics sets the cookies above and records your visit as described.
• Reject all: no Analytics cookies are set, and any already set are deleted. Google receives only cookieless signals without identifiers, which it uses for aggregate counts. Ad cookies stay off.
• Before you choose: in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, no Analytics or ad cookies are set until you accept. Elsewhere, Analytics runs until you reject. Ad cookies stay off everywhere until you accept.

Your answer is saved in your browser's local storage under sfu-consent, so the banner does not ask again. To change it, use Cookie settings at the bottom of any page.

Advertising

To pay for hosting, the site may show ads served by Google AdSense. When ads are switched on, Google and its partners use cookies to show ads based on your earlier visits to this and other websites. You can turn off personalised ads in Google's Ad Settings, and opt out of personalised advertising from many other companies at aboutads.info. This policy will list the advertising cookies when ads are live.

How to opt out

• Install Google's Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
• Choose Reject all in the cookie banner, or reopen it with Cookie settings at the bottom of any page.
• Block or delete cookies for scriptsforunity.com in your browser's settings, or use a content blocker.

Everything on the site keeps working when analytics is blocked.

What stays in your browser

• Code you paste or edit. The Unity 6 script checker, the error lookup, the playground and the shader Inspectors run entirely in your browser. What you paste, type or tune there is processed on your device and is never sent to us or to anyone else.
• Your cookie choice. Whether you accepted or rejected cookies is saved in local storage, so the banner does not reappear on every page.
• Reading progress. Which chapters you have read in the Learn, AI and CLI, and Migration guides is saved in your browser's local storage, so the site can show your progress. It stays on your device; clearing the site's data in your browser removes it.
• Navigation. When you open a link to an inner page directly, the site may store that address in session storage for a moment so it can open the right page. It is removed straight away.

Other services the site relies on

• Netlify hosts the site. Like any web server, it receives your IP address and the pages you request so it can deliver them, and may keep standard server logs under Netlify's privacy policy.
• Google Fonts provides the site's typefaces. Your browser downloads the font files from Google's servers, which receive your IP address to deliver them.
• Google Analytics, described above, and Google AdSense when ads are live.
• Netlify Forms receives and stores messages sent through the contact page: the name, email address, topic and message you enter. They are used only to reply to you, and deleted on request.
• Product images in the Asset Store cards are loaded from Unity's servers, which receive your IP address to deliver them. Links to the Unity Asset Store open Unity's site, which has its own privacy policy.

Downloads of scripts, kits and shaders come straight from scriptsforunity.com; we do not ask for any details to download.

Your rights

You can withdraw consent at any time with Cookie settings. Depending on where you live, laws such as the GDPR give you rights over your personal data, including the right to see it, correct it, have it deleted and object to its use. Because the site holds no accounts and stores no names or emails, the data we can reach is limited to the anonymous analytics described above. If you have a question or a request, send it through the contact page and we will help as far as that data allows.

Children

The site is written for game developers and is not aimed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to this policy

If the site starts collecting something new, such as advertising data, this page will be updated first and the date at the top will change.
