Mirkwood WorkshopWho runs this site
Mirkwood Workshop (mirkwoodworkshop.com) is a small, independent site of name generators and tools for tabletop and video game players. Questions about this policy go to mirkwoodworkshop@gmail.com or through the contact page.
The short version
- There are no accounts. You never sign up or log in.
- Names you roll, dice you throw and images you load into the Token Forge stay in your browser. They are never sent to us.
- The site is paid for by Google ads. Google uses cookies to show and measure those ads, and you choose whether they can be personalised.
- If you write to us, we see what you send and use it only to reply.
Cookies and browser storage
We store a few small values in your browser so the site remembers your choices. None of them leave your device.

|---|---|---|
| mw-consent | Remembers your cookie choice | Until you clear it |
| mw-dice-character | Saves the ability scores and bonuses you set in the Dice Roller | Until you clear it |

Google sets its own advertising cookies, described in the next section. You can change your choice at any time with , or by clearing this site's data in your browser.
Advertising
We use Google AdSense to show ads. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and other sites on the Internet.
Until you choose Accept all, we ask Google for non-personalised ads only. Non-personalised ads are based on the page you are on rather than your browsing history, though Google may still use cookies for frequency capping, fraud prevention and measurement. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we treat it as a choice of Essential only.
You can opt out of personalised advertising from Google at Google Ads Settings, and from other participating vendors at aboutads.info. Read how Google uses information from sites that use its services.
Visitor counts
If we measure traffic, we use GoatCounter, which counts page views without cookies and without building a profile of you. It records the page, the referring site, and your browser type and screen size in aggregate. We do not use Google Analytics.
When you contact us
If you use the contact form or email us, we receive your name, email address and message. We use them only to read and answer you, and we delete messages we no longer need. Form messages are delivered through a form service or your own email app; that provider handles them under its own privacy policy.
Hosting and fonts
The site is hosted on GitHub Pages. Like any web server, GitHub receives your IP address and browser details when you load a page and may keep them in security logs; see the GitHub Privacy Statement. Fonts load from Google Fonts, which receives your IP address to deliver them.
Your choices and rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to know what personal information we hold, to ask us to delete it, and to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information for targeted advertising. We do not sell personal information for money. Choosing Essential only in Cookie settings opts you out of personalised ads on this site. To make any other request, email mirkwoodworkshop@gmail.com; we answer within 30 days.
Visitors in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland see Google's own consent message where it is shown, and can change it through that message.
Children
This site is for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
Changes to this policy
If we change how the site handles information, we will update this page and the date at the top.
