Funfactorium

Effective date: 2026-05-30 (initial publication target) Last reviewed: TBD Operator: Funfactorium Editorial — funfactorium.com — contact: [email protected]

This page explains what data Funfactorium ("we", "the site") collects, how we use it, and your choices. Plain-English version. The site is a static publication; we do not run a backend that stores user accounts.

What we collect

1. Cloudflare logs (always-on infrastructure)

The site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. Cloudflare automatically processes:

IP address
Browser user-agent
Request URL and timestamp
Referrer header

Cloudflare uses this for DDoS protection, caching, and basic analytics. We do not store these logs ourselves. See Cloudflare's privacy notice: https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/

2. Cloudflare Web Analytics (if enabled)

A privacy-friendly, cookie-less analytics tool that counts page views and referrers. No personally identifying tracking. No cookies. Aggregated visit counts only.

3. Google Analytics 4 (if/when enabled — currently disabled)

If we enable GA4, it will set first-party cookies (_ga, _ga_*) to measure session counts and user flow. We will update this page and surface a cookie banner before enabling. Until then, no GA4 tracking is active.

4. Google AdSense (when ad serving is live)

When AdSense is live (target: 2026-06+), Google may set cookies (e.g., __gads, IDE) to serve and personalize advertising, measure clicks, and detect fraud. Google's AdSense privacy notice: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads

You can opt out of personalized advertising at https://www.google.com/settings/ads or via https://www.aboutads.info/choices/.

5. Wikimedia Commons images

Hero images on plant guides are loaded directly from Wikimedia (upload.wikimedia.org). Wikimedia may log image-fetch requests per their privacy policy: https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Policy:Privacy_policy

What we don't do

No user accounts, no sign-up, no profiles
No newsletter signup forms (yet)
No remarketing pixels (Facebook, TikTok, etc.)
No email collection
No first-party tracking beyond Cloudflare logs

Cookies

We do not set first-party cookies of our own. Third-party cookies (Google AdSense, optional GA4) are set by those services as described above. Your browser settings let you block or delete cookies; doing so will not break site functionality.

Children's privacy

The site is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Your rights (GDPR / CCPA)

Where applicable laws give you rights to access, correct, or delete personal data, contact us at the email above. Because we do not maintain user accounts, requests are typically handled through the upstream services (Cloudflare, Google).

Changes

We may update this policy. Material changes will update the "Effective date" above. Substantive changes will be linked from the homepage for at least 14 days.
