Operator and contact
Forever Tavern operates this independent fan journal at wowforevertavern.com. Contact the site operator about privacy or personal information at dleowls01@gmail.com.
Data used by the current site
We do not offer registration, comments, newsletters, or a contact form. Guide search runs locally in your browser; the site does not send search terms to a server. Optional Google Analytics 4 loads only after you choose Allow analytics. We currently load no advertising scripts or advertising tracking pixels and set no advertising cookies. The AdSense account-verification tag and ads.txt are passive publisher identifiers, not advertising scripts.
Our hosting provider may process request information, such as IP addresses and browser request details, to deliver and protect the website. Editorial illustrations are hosted locally and the site uses system fonts. Talent icons use an external image provider as explained below. Visiting external links takes you to another service whose privacy policy applies.
Email inquiries
When you email us, your email address and message are processed through Gmail to respond to your request and keep correspondence relevant to that request. Do not send passwords, sign-in codes, or private game-account information. Contact us to ask about or request deletion of correspondence; some information may need to be retained where required by applicable obligations.
Planned Google advertising
Google AdSense is not serving ads on this site yet. If enabled, Google and other advertising providers may use cookies and similar technologies to serve, measure, and personalize ads based on visits to this and other websites. We will update this notice to identify the services actually used before advertising begins.
You can manage Google's personalized advertising through My Ad Center and read Google's advertising technology policy. Information about participating companies' advertising choices is available at YourAdChoices. Browser settings may also control cookies.
Consent before ads
Before serving ads where consent is required, we will configure appropriate consent controls, including a Google-certified consent management platform for visitors in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland. These controls are not currently installed because advertising is not active. Required consent will be obtained before services that require it load.
Quest search and talent builds
Quest search and filters run in your browser; we do not send your search terms to a search service. Talent choices are saved in the page URL fragment, without an account or a database. Sharing a build exposes the selected class, level and allocation to the person receiving the link. Copying a build uses clipboard access only after you select Share build.
Quest checklist selections are stored only in this browser under a per-quest key. They are not sent to us or Google Analytics. Use Reset this checklist on a quest page, or clear this site’s browser storage, to remove them. They are independent of your in-game character.
Externally hosted talent icons
Talent calculator pages load game icons from wow.zamimg.com, Wowhead’s image CDN. Your browser contacts that service to display the images, which exposes your IP address and normal request information to the image provider. We use a no-referrer policy for these image requests. This feature does not send your talent allocation or search terms to the image provider.
Optional visitor analytics
With your consent, Google Analytics 4 measures page visits and interaction counts: internal search area, query length and result count; equipment IDs viewed; and the class, level and number of points in a shared talent plan. We do not send search text, talent allocations, email addresses, or URL query strings and fragments. Google can process network and device information and use first-party _ga cookies to distinguish visits. Our analytics cookies expire after 90 days unless renewed. Google signals and advertising personalization are disabled in our tag configuration.
Your analytics choice is stored locally in this browser. Use Analytics preferences in the footer to change it at any time. Declining prevents analytics from loading; withdrawing consent disables tracking, removes accessible analytics cookies and reloads the page. Browser storage settings may also remove this preference. No choice is required to read guides or use the tools. These analytics controls are separate from any future Google-certified advertising consent platform.
