# Privacy and external links

This notice describes the current directory, not the third-party tools it links to.

## Browsing this site

The directory is delivered through Cloudflare Pages. The hosting provider processes connection information such as IP address, request URL and browser information to deliver and protect the site. We do not provide accounts or file uploads.

## Directory search

Tool filtering runs in your browser. Search text is not sent to a search endpoint, stored in a database or included in a URL. The search text is not included in analytics events.

## After you follow a link

External providers may use cookies, analytics, uploads or payment features under their own policies. Read those policies before submitting files or using a paid service. A provider’s statement about local file processing does not cover every optional online feature.

## Optional Google Analytics

On artcrafttools.com, Google Analytics 4 loads only after you allow analytics. It measures page visits and may set first-party analytics cookies. Google receives connection information and page information under its privacy policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy. We send the canonical page address without query parameters or a fragment; directory filter text is never sent.

Use Privacy choices in the footer to change your preference. Rejecting analytics stops future collection and removes accessible analytics cookies. We respect Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track signals. Local development and Pages preview addresses do not load analytics. Your privacy choice is stored in this browser for up to 180 days.

## Advertising

Adsterra display advertisements load only after you allow advertising and only on our public guides at artcrafttools.com. Adsterra and its advertising partners may process your IP address, browser and device information and ad interactions, and may use cookies or similar technologies. Its privacy policy is https://adsterra.com/privacy-policy/. Advertising is separate from analytics in Privacy choices.

Rejecting or withdrawing advertising consent prevents subsequent ad loading. Ads are isolated in embedded frames and identified as Advertisement; system pages and Markdown exports do not load ads. This site does not automatically open advertising pop-ups or replace tool links with advertising links.
