How Vice Wave FM collects, uses and protects your data.
Last updated: October 14, 2026
Vice Wave FM (vicewavefm.com) is an independent fan project covering news, trailers and guides about Grand Theft Auto VI. We are not affiliated with, sponsored or endorsed by Rockstar Games, Take-Two Interactive or any of their subsidiaries. This policy explains what information is collected when you visit the site and how it is used.
1. What we collect
You do not need to sign up, log in or pay to read Vice Wave FM. The data that may be collected is:
- Server logs: like almost every website, our host (Hostinger) automatically records technical details of each visit, such as IP address, browser type, pages requested and time of access. These logs are used only for security, performance and troubleshooting.
- Our own cookies and local storage: used to remember your language (English/Portuguese), to make the site cache work, to remember that you dismissed the cookie notice and to remember the last track you played in the Vice Wave FM player. They do not identify you personally.
- Embedded YouTube videos: trailers and the radio player use embedded YouTube videos (privacy-enhanced mode). When you play one, Google/YouTube may set its own cookies and collect data under Google’s Privacy Policy, which we do not control.
- Contact form: if you write to us, the information you send (such as your name and email) is used only to reply to your message.
2. Analytics (Google Analytics)
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand, in aggregate, which pages are read most, where visitors come from and which links are clicked, including clicks on affiliate links (we record the store, the page and the link text). We do not send your name, email or any other personal identifier to Google Analytics. Google may process this data under its own policies; you can opt out with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
3. Advertising (Google AdSense)
This site may show ads served by Google AdSense. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads based on your previous visits to this and other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies, including the DoubleClick cookie, enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the internet. You can opt out of personalized advertising in Google Ads Settings or at www.aboutads.info. Learn more in How Google uses cookies in advertising.
Visitors from the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland, and from US states with privacy laws, see a consent message managed by Google, where they can accept, reject or adjust how their data is used for ads.
4. Affiliate links
Some links on Vice Wave FM are affiliate links to Amazon (Amazon.com and Amazon.com.br) and Mercado Livre. If you buy through them we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases. When you click an affiliate link, the store may set its own cookies to attribute the purchase, under its own privacy policy. Affiliate links never change what we recommend.
5. How we use this information
We use the information above only to run and improve the site, understand in aggregate what content is useful, reply to messages and protect the site against abuse. We do not sell your personal data.
6. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or restrict the use of your personal data, and to object to its processing. This includes rights under the GDPR (EU/UK), Brazil’s LGPD and US state privacy laws such as the CCPA. Vice Wave FM does not sell personal information. To use any of these rights, email us at contato@vicewavefm.com.
7. Managing cookies
You can block or delete cookies at any time in your browser settings. Some features, such as remembering your language, may stop working.
8. Audience
Vice Wave FM covers a game rated for mature audiences. The site is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal data from them.
9. Changes and contact
We may update this policy as the site changes; the date at the top always shows the latest version. Questions? Write to contato@vicewavefm.com. The Portuguese version of this policy is available here.
