FOR PARENTS & PLAYERS

Privacy Notice

Last updated: August 11, 2026

Gato Run is a free browser game made for kids and families.

Game progress stored on your device

The game saves your high score, selected animal, sound and difficulty settings, unlocked powers, badges, and basic play progress in your browser's local storage. This information stays on your device and can be erased with Reset progress on the game menu.

Information we do not ask for

Gato Run does not require an account and does not ask for your name, email address, age, or other contact details.

Optional analytics is off by default

Google Analytics does not load unless you choose Allow analytics. Saying no does not block the game or any page. We keep your analytics choice in your browser's local storage so the same choice applies across Gato Run, Materials & Credits, and this notice. Clearing this site's browser data resets the choice.

If you allow it, Google Analytics 4 (measurement ID G-7DBB6GXGGE) uses cookies such as _ga and sends Google the page visited, browser and device details, technical information, and approximate location information. We use this information to count visits and page views and understand which site pages are used.

The site's Google tag denies advertising storage, advertising user data, and advertising personalization. It also disables Google Signals and advertising-personalization signals. Gato Run does not send scores, game progress, save data, custom gameplay events, names, email addresses, user IDs, or account information to Google Analytics.

Change or withdraw your analytics choice

Use the persistent Privacy choices button on any page to allow analytics, keep it off, or withdraw permission. Withdrawing stops future analytics use, tells an active Google tag that analytics storage is denied, and removes the Google Analytics cookies this site can access. Withdrawal cannot erase measurements already sent to Google or data already processed by Google.
