How we handle information.

Site operation

Smoke & Sear is a static information site. The web host may process standard technical logs — such as IP address, browser type, requested path, and timestamp — to operate the site and protect it from abuse.

The theme preference is stored locally in your browser as smoke-theme; it is not submitted to Smoke & Sear.

Analytics and advertising

Smoke & Sear loads the Google AdSense publisher script on public content pages. No manual ad units or Auto ads are configured at this time. If advertising is enabled, Google and its advertising partners may use cookies and similar identifiers to serve, measure, and personalize ads. Ads are not placed on the privacy, terms, contact, editorial policy, image credits, or 404 pages. Advertising does not change the editorial scope of the guides.

Consent management

Where consent is required — for example for visitors in the EEA, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland — Smoke & Sear uses a consent management platform (CMP) to present clear choices about cookies and personalized advertising. The CMP message provides consent, refusal, and preference controls, plus a way to withdraw or change a choice at any time. Visitors in California and other US states receive the privacy choices required by the law that applies to them.

Google ad choices

Google provides controls for reviewing or changing ad personalization choices through its Ads Settings. Those controls are operated by Google, may vary by account and region, and do not replace a consent message where consent is required.

Contact and corrections

For privacy questions or data requests, email alghalytahmdbab@gmail.com. We do not collect email addresses through forms or subscriptions.

Updates

This page is dated by its deployment version and will be revised when the services used on the site change. The published policy should match the live advertising script, CMP, analytics, and contact process.
