This policy explains what happens to data when you visit howloop.how ("the site", "we", "us"). It applies to every page on this domain.

1. What we collect ourselves

Nothing that identifies you. The site is a set of static pages. There is no account system, no login, no comment box and no newsletter sign-up, so there is no personal information for us to store.

Our hosting provider keeps standard server logs (IP address, browser type, the page requested, the time of the request) for a short period for security and abuse prevention. We do not use those logs to build a profile of you and we do not sell them.

2. Cookies and similar technologies

We do not set our own cookies for analytics or personalisation. Cookies on this site come from third parties, described below. Your browser lets you block or delete cookies at any time — that will not break the site.

3. Advertising

This site is funded by advertising and uses Google AdSense, a third-party advertising service provided by Google LLC.

  • Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site or other sites.
  • Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this and/or other sites on the internet.
  • You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
  • You can also opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalised advertising at aboutads.info/choices or, in Europe, at youronlinechoices.eu.
  • Where required, third-party vendors we work with may collect and use data under a consent framework. If you are in a region that requires consent (such as the EEA or the UK), you will be shown a consent message before personalised ads are served, and you can change your choice at any time.

Google's own explanation of how it uses data from sites that use its services is at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

4. Fonts

We load one display typeface from Google Fonts. When your browser requests it, Google receives your IP address as part of that request. No cookie is set by the font request itself.

5. Links to other sites

Guides sometimes link to manufacturers, standards bodies or retailers. Once you follow a link you are on someone else's site under their privacy policy, not ours. We are not responsible for their practices.

6. Children

This site is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect information from them. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

7. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or restrict the use of personal data held about you, and to object to processing or withdraw consent. Because we do not hold identifiable data ourselves, most of these requests are best directed to Google, whose ad services set the cookies described above. If you'd like help, write to hello@howloop.how with "Privacy" in the subject line.

California residents: we do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined by the CCPA/CPRA.

8. Changes

If this policy changes we will update the date at the top of this page. Material changes will be noted on the page for at least 30 days.
