We believe privacy is a right, not a formality. This page explains exactly what data we collect, why we collect it, and how you stay in control.
Information we collect
When you visit Clarity Nooks, we may collect two types of information: personal information and non-personal information. Here is what each one means.
Personal information is data that could identify you as an individual. We only collect this if you choose to contact us directly for example, by sending an email or submitting a contact form. In that case, we may receive your name and email address. We do not ask for this information unless you provide it voluntarily.
Non-personal information is general, anonymous data collected automatically when you browse the site. This may include:
- Your browser type and version (e.g., Chrome, Safari)
- The type of device you are using (desktop, mobile, tablet)
- Pages you visit on our site and how long you spend on them
- Your approximate geographic region (country or city level, not precise location)
- Referring website or search engine that brought you to our site
- Your IP address (used for analytics, not stored for identification)
This information is collected through standard web analytics tools and advertising platforms, which are described further below.
How we use information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes only:
- To understand how visitors use our website so we can improve our content and design
- To display relevant advertisements through Google AdSense
- To monitor and protect against any technical issues or misuse of the site
- To respond to your messages if you contact us directly
- To comply with legal obligations if required by law
We do not sell, trade, rent, or transfer your personal information to any outside parties. We do not use your data to build marketing profiles or engage in targeted advertising beyond what Google AdSense handles through its own platform.
Cookies and web beacons
Like most websites, Clarity Nooks uses cookies. A cookie is a small text file that is saved to your device when you visit a website. Cookies help websites remember your preferences and understand how people use the site.
We use cookies for the following reasons:
- To understand which pages and content are most popular
- To enable advertising features through Google AdSense
- To measure how our site performs over time
We may also use web beacons small invisible images embedded in pages or emails that work alongside cookies to gather similar usage data.
You have the right to disable cookies at any time. Most web browsers allow you to manage cookie settings in their preferences or settings menu. Here is how to do it in the most commonly used browsers:
Please note that disabling cookies may affect how some parts of our website function. Advertising features in particular may behave differently if cookies are turned off.
Google AdSense & DoubleClick DART cookies
Clarity Nooks uses Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google AdSense is an advertising service provided by Google LLC. To show relevant ads, Google uses a cookie known as the DART cookie, which is set by Google’s DoubleClick platform.
The DART cookie allows Google to serve ads based on a user’s previous visits to our site and other websites on the internet. This is a standard practice used across millions of websites worldwide.
Important: Google’s use of the DART cookie enables it to serve ads based on browsing history. You can opt out of this at any time by visiting Google’s Ads Settings at google.com/settings/ads, or by visiting aboutads.info to opt out of interest-based advertising by third-party vendors.
We do not have direct access to or control over the cookies that Google places on your device. Google has its own privacy policy, which governs how it handles data collected through AdSense. We encourage you to review it at policies.google.com/privacy.
Third-party privacy policies
Clarity Nooks may contain links to other websites, and our pages may embed third-party services such as analytics tools, social sharing buttons, or advertising networks. These third parties operate independently and have their own privacy policies.
We have no responsibility for the content or privacy practices of those external sites. Once you leave our website by clicking a link, this Privacy Policy no longer applies. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of any website you visit.
Third-party services we may use include, but are not limited to:
- Google Analytics — for website traffic and performance analysis
- Google AdSense — for displaying advertisements
- Social media platforms — for content sharing features
Each of these services has its own data practices and opt-out mechanisms. We recommend reviewing their individual policies for full transparency.
