Privacy Policy

This privacy policy describes how Dimraeth Archives ("we", "us", or "our") handles information when you visit this website.

Information We Collect

Dimraeth Archives is a static website. We do not require you to create an account or submit personal information, and we run no database that stores visitor data. Everything described below comes from third-party services that load together with the page.

Third-Party Services

• Advertising (Adsterra) — our ad network. Adsterra and its advertising partners use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads, to cap how often you see the same ad, and to measure performance. Its own privacy policy describes what it collects. Ad units load together with the page content.
• Advertising (Google AdSense) — third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet. You can opt out of personalized advertising at Google Ads Settings , or opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info .
• Analytics (Google Analytics) — collects usage data such as page views, approximate location, and browser and device information, and is cookie-based. It loads on every page.
• Cloudflare — our hosting and CDN provider. It processes basic request data (IP address, user agent, requested URL) to serve the site and protect it from abuse. Cloudflare Web Analytics is cookieless and, if enabled, would collect aggregate page-view statistics only.
• Comments (giscus — currently disabled on this site) — if the comment section is ever enabled, giscus.app loads an embedded GitHub view; viewing it exposes your IP address and browser information to that service, and signing in to comment is handled by GitHub under its own privacy policy.
• Embedded videos (YouTube — currently not used on this site) — pages with videos load thumbnail images from i.ytimg.com and, after you press play, the YouTube player from youtube-nocookie.com. Until you interact, no YouTube cookies are set.

Cookies and Local Storage

We set no first-party cookies of our own. Your browser's local storage holds only interface preferences (such as the theme and dismissed banners); those values stay in your browser and are never sent to us.

Third-party services set their own cookies when they are active:

• Adsterra — sets advertising, frequency-capping and measurement cookies from its own ad-serving domains when an ad unit is served.
• Google Analytics — sets _ga and _ga_<container-id>, used to distinguish visitors and sessions.
• Google AdSense — sets advertising cookies, including Google's third-party DoubleClick cookie, when ads are served.

You can review or delete these cookies at any time through your browser's settings. Blocking cookies does not stop you from reading any page on this site.

Opting Out

You can opt out of personalized advertising through the Google Ads Settings and aboutads.info links above, block analytics and ad requests entirely with a content blocker, or disable cookies in your browser settings. Nothing on this site requires those third-party services to work.

Data Retention

We hold no visitor data on our own servers. Aggregate analytics data is retained by Google for the retention period configured on our property.

Your Rights

Depending on where you live — for example under the GDPR in the EEA or UK, or the CCPA in California — you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your personal data, and to object to processing. Because we do not hold visitor data ourselves, requests about analytics or advertising data should be directed to the relevant provider (Google) or exercised through the opt-out links above. You are welcome to contact us using the details below, and we will help where we can.

Children's Privacy

Dimraeth Archives is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from children.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes are posted on this page, and the "last updated" date at the top is revised when they are.
