Overview

AncientChinese.net ("we", "us", "the site") is a free editorial website covering Chinese history, culture, language, drama, and travel. This policy explains what data is collected when you use the site, how it is used, and your rights.

Data we collect

We do not collect any personal information directly. However, third-party services used on this site may collect data automatically:

Analytics

We may use website analytics services to understand how visitors use the site. These services can collect:

• Pages visited and time spent on each page
• General geographic location (country/city level)
• Browser type, device type, and operating system
• Referring websites and search terms

This data is anonymous and aggregated — we cannot identify individual visitors. Analytics services typically use cookies to track sessions. You can opt out via your browser's "Do Not Track" setting or available opt-out tools provided by the analytics provider.

Advertising

This site may, in the future, display advertisements served by third-party advertising networks such as Google AdSense. Such networks may use cookies and similar technologies to show ads relevant to your interests based on your browsing history across websites. You can control personalised advertising via Google's Ad Settings or opt out of interest-based ads through the Network Advertising Initiative.

Cookies

This site may use cookies set by analytics or advertising services as described above. We do not set any first-party cookies ourselves. You can manage or disable cookies in your browser settings; note that this may affect how some features work.

Children's privacy

This site is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information, please contact us.

This site links to external websites, including streaming platforms, retailers, and reference sources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites.

We may update this policy occasionally. The "last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
