Privacy policy
The short version: we collect as little as possible, we don't sell your data, and you can switch analytics off whenever you like.
Last updated July 25, 2026.
Who we are
Arcode Studio is a US-based software studio (LLC registration in progress) and the maker of Ate-bit. You can reach us any time at hello@arcode.studio.
Analytics & cookies
We use Google Analytics to understand how the site is used: which pages people visit and where they came from. It helps us build a better product. We do not run ads and we do not sell your personal information.
How this starts out depends on where you are. In the US, analytics is on by default and you can switch it off at any point. In the EU and the UK, and anywhere we can't tell, nothing runs until you accept it in the consent banner, and declining sets no analytics cookies at all. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we take that as a no and don't ask.
Whatever you choose sticks, and it always beats the default we picked for you. To change it, use the Cookie preferences link at the bottom of any page. Switching analytics off also clears the analytics cookies already on your device. We've also configured Google Consent Mode so advertising signals are always disabled.
Separately, we set one small cookie of our own to remember that you've already seen the arcade intro animation, so we don't make you sit through it on every visit. It stores nothing but a yes, it doesn't identify you, and it isn't used for analytics. Click the ARCODE logo in the top left any time you want to watch it again.
The Ate-bit waitlist
This site doesn't collect email addresses or run any forms. The Ate-bit waitlist lives on atebit.app, and what happens with your signup there is covered by the Ate-bit privacy policy.
Your choices
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete the information we hold about you, and to opt out of its sale or sharing (we don't do either). To exercise any of these, just email us and we'll take care of it.
Changes to this policy
We'll update this page as Ate-bit and ARCODE grow, and change the date at the top when we do. If we ever make a significant change, we'll do our best to let you know.
