Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 20, 2026

Overview

ClearHowTo ("we," "us") publishes free how-to articles at clearhowto.net. This policy explains what information is collected when you visit the site and how it's used.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand which articles are helpful and how visitors find the site. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to collect information such as your approximate location, device and browser type, and the pages you visit. This data is aggregated and does not identify you personally. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Advertising

ClearHowTo does not currently run advertising. If we add advertising in the future (for example, through Google AdSense), this section will be updated to describe the cookies and data those networks use, and how you can manage your ad preferences via Google Ads Settings.

Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. Aside from analytics cookies described above, ClearHowTo does not use cookies to identify you or track you across other websites.

Your rights (GDPR/CCPA)

If you are located in the European Economic Area, UK, or California, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete personal data we hold about you, and to opt out of certain data processing. Since we collect only aggregated analytics data and no account information, there is generally no personal data tied to you individually to request. If you have questions or a request, contact us using the details on our Contact page.

Children's privacy

ClearHowTo is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the site changes, for example when we add advertising. The "Last updated" date above will reflect the most recent revision.
