Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 20, 2026

This policy explains what information blog.hydrolinx.top ("we", "us", "the site") collects, how it is used, and the choices you have. By using this site you agree to the practices described here.

1. Information We Collect

• Comments: when you post a comment via our comment system, we store the nickname, email address, and content you provide. The email is used only to display your avatar and private notifications, and is never shown publicly.
• Site analytics: we may use aggregate, privacy-friendly analytics to understand which pages are read. This data is statistical and does not identify you personally.
• Service logs: your browser, device type, and pages visited may be logged briefly by the hosting provider and CDN for security and performance.

2. Cookies

We may use cookies or local storage to remember preferences (such as theme and language) and to power third-party services described in Section 4. Most browsers let you disable cookies; some features may then work differently.

3. How We Use Information

To display and personalize content, operate comments, protect the site against abuse, and improve what we publish. We do not sell or rent your personal information.

4. Third-Party Services

• Comment system: comments are operated through a self-hosted service. Data is stored on our own server.
• Site verification & search: we may use search-console and site-verification services to confirm ownership and understand indexing.
• Advertising: if advertising is enabled, an advertising provider may set cookies and serve ads on the site. You can opt out of personalized advertising at your provider's settings page.
• Embedded content: articles may embed video or content from external platforms, which may set their own cookies under their own policies.

5. Advertising, Cookies and Your Choices

If we display advertising (for example through Google AdSense), the following applies:

• Third-party ad cookies. Advertisers and advertising networks (including Google and its partners) may use cookies or similar technologies to serve and measure ads, and to show you advertising more relevant to your interests.
• DART cookie. Google, acting as a third-party vendor, uses the DART cookie to serve ads to you based on your visits to this and other sites. You may opt out of the use of the DART cookie at https://www.google.com/privacy_ads.html.
• Personalized advertising. You can manage which ads Google shows you, or opt out of personalized advertising entirely, in your Google Ads Settings at https://adssettings.google.com. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' cookies through the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page (https://optout.networkadvertising.org/) or the About Ads page (https://www.aboutads.info/choices/).
• Consent (European Economic Area, UK and Switzerland). If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, we will ask for your consent before storing or accessing non-essential cookies or using data for personalized advertising. We aim to obtain such consent through a Google-certified consent management platform (CMP), and you may withdraw your consent at any time with the same ease you gave it.

6. Data Retention and Your Rights

Comment data is retained until you ask us to remove it. You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data by contacting us. We respond to legitimate requests promptly.

7. Children's Privacy

This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If we ever display advertising, we do not deliver personalized advertising to known audiences of children. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us personal information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

8. Regional Rights

Depending on where you live, additional rights may apply:

• European Economic Area, UK and Switzerland (GDPR): you have the right to access, rectify, erase, or port your personal data, and to object to or restrict its processing.
• California, USA (CCPA/CPRA): California residents have the right to know what personal information is collected, to request deletion, and to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information. We do not sell personal information, but if advertising involves sharing data for personalized ads, we will provide the option to opt out.
• Brazil (LGPD): you have the right to confirm, correct, anonymize, and delete your personal data, and to object to processing.
• China (PIPL): if you are in China, you have the right to access, copy, correct, and delete your personal information, and to request rules for the processing or automated decision-making.

Your choices under these laws do not limit the general rights described in Section 6. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The "last updated" date above reflects the most recent revision; continued use of the site means you accept the revised policy.
