Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 2026
Pywel respects your privacy. This policy explains what data is collected when you visit this site, who collects it, and what choices you have.
Information We Collect
Pywel is a static website. It has no user accounts, no login, and no forms, so we do not ask you for personal information and we do not collect it directly. Data about your visit is instead collected by the third-party services described below, which operate on our behalf or serve advertising on this site.
Cookies, Web Beacons & Similar Technologies
Third-party services used on this site set and read cookies in your browser, and may use web beacons (also called pixel tags or clear GIFs) and your IP address to recognise your device across visits and across other websites. Pywel itself does not set cookies for its own purposes — your language preference is carried in the URL path rather than stored in your browser — but the analytics and advertising providers described below do. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings; the site's own features do not depend on them and will continue to work.
Analytics
This site uses Google Analytics to understand how visitors find and use our guides. Google Analytics sets cookies and collects your IP address, pages viewed, referring site, browser and device type, and approximate location derived from your IP address. This information helps us decide which guides to write and update. You can opt out of Google Analytics across all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Advertising
Pywel is funded by advertising. This site uses Google AdSense: the AdSense script runs on every page, and third-party advertising vendors, including Google, may serve ads here. These vendors use cookies, web beacons, device identifiers, and your IP address to serve ads and to measure how ads perform. 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. If personalised advertising is enabled, these ads may be tailored to your prior visits to this and other websites. You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings page, and you can opt out of third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising at www.aboutads.info. Third-party vendors set these cookies under their own privacy policies, which I do not control.
Third-Party Services
Beyond analytics and advertising, this site relies on Cloudflare Pages for hosting and content delivery, which processes your IP address and request data in order to serve pages and protect the site from abuse. Each third party listed in this policy handles your data under its own privacy policy, and we encourage you to review them.
Your Choices & Regional Rights
You can control cookies through your browser settings, and you can opt out of personalised advertising and analytics using the links described above. If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, advertising cookies require your consent; a consent management tool is being put in place for this purpose, and until it is live you can prevent advertising cookies through your browser settings and the opt-out links above. If you are a California resident, note that I do not sell personal information as that term is defined under the CCPA. To exercise any data right, contact me using the details below.

Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time, for example when we add or remove a third-party service. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date, and we encourage you to review it periodically.
