Privacy policy for this website
What Diesel n' Steel Guide stores, which analytics it runs, how cookies are used for measurement only, and how to opt out of the numbers we can see.
This page explains what Diesel n' Steel Guide stores and what it does not.
What is collected
The site uses Google Analytics 4 to count visits. That gives the operator of this site aggregate information: which pages are viewed, roughly where in the world the visitor is, which browser and device type was used, and how the visitor arrived. It is measurement data, not a record of who you are.
No contact form submissions are stored on the site, because there is no contact form. The contact page lists an email address, and anything you send there arrives as ordinary email.
Cookies
Google Analytics sets cookies so it can tell a returning visitor from a new one. They are used for counting and nothing else. They are not used to build a profile of you across other websites by this site, and this site does not run advertising networks of its own.
If your browser blocks third-party cookies or runs in a private window, the site works exactly the same. The only thing that changes is the visitor count.
What is not collected
- No account, login or password
- No payment details, because nothing on this site is sold
- No precise location data
- No data entered into any form on this site, because there are no forms
Opting out of measurement
You can stop the analytics cookies being set in several ways:
- Enable tracking protection or "do not track" in your browser.
- Block third-party cookies in your browser settings.
- Use a private or incognito window for browsing.
- Install the official Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
None of these break anything on this site, because nothing on it depends on being able to identify you.
Email you send
If you email the address on the contact page, that message is stored in an ordinary mailbox so it can be answered and so a correction can be checked. Ask for it to be deleted at any time and it will be.
Third parties
The page content on this site is served with the site itself. Images are hosted here rather than loaded from other websites, so viewing a page does not tell anyone else that you were on it.
Changes
If this policy changes, the date on the page changes with it. The latest check date appears on every page of this site, and this site does not use the data it collects for anything other than counting page views.
