Who is responsible for this site?
CSRated is an independent review site published at csrated.com. For any privacy question or request, email hello@csrated.com or use the contact page.
What stays in your browser?
The free tools save your level, XP, streak, achievements, recently used tools, simulated case items, daily case result, collection book progress, challenge progress and any portfolio items you enter in your browser's local storage. If you do not sign in, this data never leaves your device and we cannot see it. Clearing your browser data deletes it.
What do we store if you sign in with Steam?
Signing in is optional. It uses Steam's own sign-in page, so we never see your Steam password or email. When you sign in we store:
- your 64-bit Steam ID, and your public Steam name and avatar (updated each time you sign in)
- your level, XP, streak, achievements and the stats shown on your profile
- a log of the XP you earned (event type, amount and day), used to apply daily limits
- the simulated items our server rolls for you in the case simulator, with their market value, used for your profile and the leaderboards
The first time you sign in, the progress saved in your browser is copied to your account. Your profile page, level and best pulls are public and can appear on the leaderboards. You can delete your account at any time from your profile page: this removes all of the data above straight away.
What do we log when you click a sponsored link?
When you click a link that goes through /go/, we record the time, which site the link points to, which page you were on, where the button was on the page, and your country code as reported by our hosting provider. We do not store your IP address, name, email or any account details.
What do we log when you use a tool?
When you use a tool, your browser sends the name of the tool to us so we can show which tools are used most. That record holds the tool name and the time only. No user ID, IP address or other personal data is attached.
Do you use cookies?
We set these small cookies:
| Cookie | Why | How long |
|---|---|---|
age_ok | Remembers that you confirmed you are 18 or older | 1 year |
geo | Your country code, used to hide case opening links where they are not allowed | 1 day |
csr_session | Keeps you signed in, only if you sign in with Steam. It holds your account number and Steam ID, signed so it cannot be changed | 90 days, or until you sign out |
csr_next | Remembers which page to return you to after Steam sign-in | 10 minutes |
We do not use advertising or tracking cookies.
Analytics
When analytics is turned on, we use Plausible Analytics to count page views and outbound clicks in aggregate. Plausible does not use cookies and does not track you across other sites. When analytics is turned off, no analytics script loads at all.
Third-party sites
Links to marketplaces, case opening sites, Steam and other sites lead to services we do not control. Their privacy policies apply once you leave csrated.com.
Your rights
You can ask what data we hold about you and ask us to delete it. If you signed in with Steam, you can delete your account and everything tied to it yourself from your profile page. Guests have no personal data stored with us. For any other request, email hello@csrated.com or use the contact page.
Changes
If this policy changes, we update the date at the top of this page.
