Risk It For The Biscuit
Privacy Policy
Last updated October 25, 2026
This covers riskitforthebiscuit.co and the Risk It For The Biscuit live streams on YouTube and Twitch. We don't sell your data, and we don't use it for ads.
The website
We use Google Analytics to see how this site is used: which pages and sections people view, which buttons they press (like Watch, the social and email links, the menu, the music button, Zack's welcome and one-liners, and the live player), roughly where visitors are (country and city, from their connection), what device and browser they use, and how they found the site. We don't collect names, email addresses or anything you type.
Cookies
Google Analytics sets cookies named _ga and _ga_ERH8VENYYS so it can tell a returning browser from a new one. In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland we ask first, and nothing is sent to Google Analytics unless you press Accept. Everywhere else it's on. Your choice is remembered on this device, and you can change it here at any time.
Cookie settings
Your choice: not set.
The site also remembers in your browser whether you've already heard Zack's welcome this visit, and your cookie choice. That stays on your device.
Hosting
The site runs on Cloudflare, which handles connection data (like your IP address) to deliver and protect it, under Cloudflare's privacy policy. To know whether to ask about cookies, the page checks which country you're connecting from. Cloudflare works that out from your connection, and we don't store or log it.
Google processes the analytics data for us under its own privacy policy (see also how Google uses information from sites that use its services). You can block Google Analytics on every site with Google's opt-out browser add-on.
The YouTube and Twitch players
The live player on the home page loads only when you press play. YouTube or Twitch may then set their own cookies, under their own policies.
The live streams and chat
The streams are public broadcasts, and they're recorded. When you chat during a stream on YouTube or Twitch, your public username and message can appear on screen and in the recording.
Our stream tools read the public chat to show messages on screen, count which tickers chat mentions (the "Top 5 mentioned" card) and run chat games and alerts. They keep usernames and scores for the chat game leaderboards, and the names on recent alerts and tips. Chat messages themselves aren't saved by our tools. A chat bot, Nightbot, answers commands in chat under its own terms.
If tips are offered, they're handled by StreamElements under its own terms and privacy policy. We see your name, the amount and your message, and we may show your name and message on stream. If you include a trade in your tip, it can be shown on stream too.
YouTube API Services
Our stream tools use YouTube API Services to read the public live chat and, for the channel's own account only, to post messages in the channel's live chat. By watching or chatting on YouTube you're also bound by the YouTube Terms of Service, and Google handles your data under the Google Privacy Policy.
The only Google account that signs in to our tools is the channel's own. Posting in a live chat needs YouTube's broad "see, edit and delete" permission, but our tools only ever post the channel's own chat messages and read the channel's name to show who's posting. They don't read, change or delete anything else. The sign-in token is kept only on the streamer's own computer, is used for nothing else, and is never shared or sold. Anyone can see and remove the access they've given an app at any time in Google's security settings.
Twitch chat is read and posted to in the same way, under Twitch's terms of service and privacy notice.
If you email us, we get your email address and whatever you write. We use it only to reply, and we don't add you to any list.
Children
The site and streams aren't directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect anything from them.
Your choices
You can turn analytics off above, block cookies in your browser, chat under any username the platform allows, or ask us to remove your username from the chat game leaderboards by emailing us.
Changes
If anything here changes, we'll update this page and the date at the top.
