Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 1, 2026

Smart Snails ("we", "us") operates https://smartsnails.co. This policy explains what information is collected when you visit, and how it's used.

What we collect

We do not collect or store personal information you provide directly, such as your name or email address, because we do not currently offer any account or subscription features. We do use third-party analytics and advertising services (Google Analytics, Google AdSense), which may collect information such as IP address and device data via cookies. See the sections below for details on those services and your choices.

This site has no user accounts, logins, comments, or forums. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. This site is directed at adults — parents, teachers, and caregivers.

Advertising

We display ads served by Google AdSense. Google and its partners may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings . For users in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland, we use a Google-certified consent management platform (Privacy & messaging, certified with IAB Europe's Transparency & Consent Framework) to obtain consent before serving personalized ads.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics (GA4) and Cloudflare Web Analytics to understand aggregate traffic patterns — which pages are visited, how, and how often. This data is not used to identify individual visitors.

Hosting

This site is hosted on Cloudflare, which logs visitor IP addresses as part of standard infrastructure operation and security (e.g. abuse prevention). This is Cloudflare's data as our hosting provider, separate from the analytics and advertising data described above.

Cookies

Advertising and analytics providers may set cookies as described above. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling them may affect ad personalization but not your ability to browse or download printables.

Data retention

We do not operate our own database of personal visitor information — we don't collect anything directly from you. Data collected by GA4, AdSense, and Cloudflare (IP address, device data, cookie identifiers) is retained per each provider's own standard retention periods, not ours.

Third-party links

Pages may link to third-party sites (e.g. affiliate or resource links). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of sites we don't operate.
