Privacy Policy

Information we collect

When you visit Doing The Online Thing, we automatically collect standard technical data such as your browser type, device type, and pages visited, through Google Analytics. If you submit our contact form or subscribe to our newsletter, we collect the name and email address you provide.

Cookies

We use cookies to support basic site functionality and to power Google Analytics, which helps us understand which articles are useful. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some site features may work less smoothly as a result.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 to measure traffic and reader behavior in aggregate. Google's own privacy policy governs how this data is processed on their end. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking using the official Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

Advertising

This site displays advertising through Revive Adserver. Ad zones may use cookies or similar technology to measure impressions. We do not control the specific tracking practices of individual advertisers shown through the ad network.

Third-party links

Articles on this site sometimes link to external tools, platforms, or resources. We aren't responsible for the privacy practices of those third-party sites, and we encourage you to review their own policies before sharing information with them.

Email communications

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we use your name and email address only to send the newsletter and related updates. We don't sell or rent subscriber information to third parties. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal information we hold about you. To make a request, contact us through the form on our Contact page and we'll respond within a reasonable time.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as our tools or practices change. The date at the top of this page reflects the most recent update, and continued use of the site after a change means you accept the revised policy.
