Privacy

This page explains what data this website collects and what happens to it.

Information we collect

Trinket File is a static website. We do not operate accounts, we do not ask you to register, and we do not run a comment system that stores personal information. There is no database of visitors on this site.

The information that reaches us is limited to what your browser and our hosting and analytics providers send automatically:

  • The page you requested and the time you requested it.
  • An approximate location derived from your IP address, at city or region level.
  • The referring page, if there was one.
  • Your browser type, operating system and screen size.

This information is used in aggregate to understand which guides are useful. It is not used to build a profile of you as an individual.

If you use the contact form, we receive whatever you choose to write in it, including your name and email address if you include them. We use that only to reply.

Cookies

This site sets cookies for two purposes.

Analytics cookies measure how many people read each guide and where they arrive from. These are aggregate and do not identify you.

Advertising cookies are set by third-party advertising networks. They may be used to show you advertising that relates to pages you have visited on this and other sites.

Advertising

This site displays advertising. Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Where that happens, Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and other sites on the internet.

You can opt out of personalised advertising in your Google Ads settings, or opt out of third-party vendor cookies for personalised advertising through aboutads.info and similar industry opt-out pages.

Some links to retailers on this site are affiliate links. If you follow one, the retailer may record that you arrived from Trinket File and we may earn a commission. The retailer’s own privacy policy governs what it collects from you at that point; we do not receive your personal details.

Your choices

You can block or delete cookies at any time in your browser settings. Blocking advertising cookies does not prevent you from reading any part of this site; every guide is fully readable without them.

Children

This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.

Changes

If this policy changes, the revised version will be posted on this page. We will not quietly change what we do with data that has already been collected.
