Who we are

IO Games HQ is a free browser game site at iogameshq.com. It launched in November 2026 and is written in English. We publish .io games made by independent developers, including snake and worm games, hole and eat-to-grow games, battle and shooter arenas, and obby and survival games. The site is for a general audience.

What the site collects

Nothing. The site sets no cookies and shows no ads of its own. We have no user accounts, no comments, no chat, no newsletter and no forms that collect personal data. We do not sell or share personal data. We use Cloudflare Web Analytics, a cookieless page-view counter run by Cloudflare. It records aggregate visits only, such as page, referrer, country and browser type, without cookies or cross-site tracking.

Hosting logs

The site is hosted on Cloudflare, which processes request logs such as IP address and user agent for security and delivery. We do not use these logs to build profiles of visitors.

Third-party game provider and thumbnails

Games are made by independent developers and distributed by GameDistribution and Y8. A game runs in the provider’s player inside an iframe on our page, and it only loads after the visitor presses Play. Before Play, no third-party game or ad request is made. When the visitor presses Play, the player loads from html5.gamedistribution.com or www.y8.com, and the provider and its ad partners then receive the visitor’s IP address and browser data. Game thumbnails are copied to and served from our own site.

Cookies after Play

After Play, the game provider and its ad partners may set cookies or use similar identifiers under their own policies, which you can read at gamedistribution.com/privacy-policy and y8.com/privacy. Ads inside the player come from the game provider, not from us, and we do not control them. Parents can use browser or device controls to limit ads and play time.

Children

The site is not aimed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect personal data.

Contact

There is no public email address yet; it is being set up and will be published on the contact page. Until then, the contact page explains what to include in a broken game report, correction or copyright request. A rights holder can ask us to remove a game page, and we remove it after checking the request. A visitor can also ask us what data we hold; the answer is normally nothing beyond Cloudflare’s logs.
