Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy Last Updated: February 19, 2026

Your privacy matters to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect information when you visit our website, https://fengshuiessentials.online/. We operate an informational site focused on Feng Shui principles and applications, and we use third-party advertising services like Google AdSense to display ads.

By using the Site, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.

1. Information We Collect

We collect minimal information automatically when you visit the Site:

  • Device and usage data: IP address, browser type, operating system, referring pages, pages viewed, time and date of visit, and other standard server log information.
  • Cookies and similar technologies: We and our third-party partners use cookies, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies to improve functionality, analyze traffic, and serve personalized ads.

We do not collect personal information such as names, email addresses, or contact details unless you voluntarily provide them (e.g., via a future contact form—we currently have none).

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information to:

  • Operate and maintain the Site.
  • Understand visitor behavior and improve content.
  • Display relevant advertisements through third-party networks.

We do not sell your personal information.

3. Third-Party Advertising (Including Google AdSense)

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this Site or other websites.

Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our Site and/or other sites on the Internet.

You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google’s Ads Settings at: https://www.google.com/settings/ads

(Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor’s use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info/choices.)

If we have not opted out of third-party ad serving, cookies from other third-party vendors or ad networks may also be used to serve ads on the Site. We disclose this practice here as required.

For more details on how Google uses data when you visit sites or apps that partner with Google, see: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/

4. Other Third Parties

We may use additional analytics or service providers (e.g., basic traffic counters) that place cookies or collect anonymous usage data. These are limited to site performance and do not involve personalized tracking beyond standard industry practices.

5. Your Choices and Rights

  • You can manage cookies through your browser settings (most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies).
  • For personalized ad opt-outs, use the links above.
  • If you are in a jurisdiction with privacy rights (e.g., GDPR for EU/UK users, CCPA/CPRA for California residents, or similar US state laws), you may have rights to access, delete, or opt out of certain data uses. Contact us at the email below to exercise these rights—we will respond in accordance with applicable law.

Note: As of 2026, Google AdSense provides built-in Restricted Data Processing (RDP) and opt-out messaging for users in certain US states (e.g., California, Colorado, and others with active laws). These are handled automatically by Google where applicable.

6. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect information from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. However, no internet transmission or storage method is 100% secure.

7. Children’s Privacy

The Site is not directed to children under 13 (or 16 in some jurisdictions). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware of such collection, we will delete it promptly.

8. International Transfers

The Site is hosted in [your hosting location, e.g., the United States or wherever applicable]. Data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside your own, including by Google and other providers whose servers are located globally.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted here with an updated “Last Updated” date. Continued use of the Site after changes constitutes acceptance.

Suggested text: When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it.

Cookies

Suggested text: If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

Embedded content from other websites

Suggested text: Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Who we share your data with

Suggested text: If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

How long we retain your data

Suggested text: If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
