Privacy Policy

Last updated: 18 Sep 2026

The short version

Cupwell is a static website. It has no accounts, no comment form, no newsletter and no login, so there is very little for us to collect. What is collected is standard web-server logging and, where advertising is enabled, cookies set by Google.

What the server records

The web server keeps an access log containing the request time, the page requested, the referring page, the browser user-agent string and the requesting IP address. These logs are used to find broken links and to understand which entries are read, and they are rotated and deleted on the hosting provider's normal schedule.

Cookies and Google AdSense

If advertising is enabled on this site, it is served by Google AdSense. Google and its partners use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.

Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and other sites on the internet. You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings; you can also opt out of third-party vendor cookies for personalised advertising at aboutads.info.

Third-party vendors and ad networks may also serve ads on this site. Those vendors have their own privacy policies, and this policy does not cover their cookies.

The DoubleClick cookie

Google uses the DoubleClick DART cookie for advertising served on partner sites. It records which pages you have viewed so that ads can be matched to interests rather than repeated. If you have not opted out, the DoubleClick cookie is used when ads are served on this site.

You can opt out of the DoubleClick cookie at any time through Google's Ads Settings page, or through the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page. Opting out does not remove ads; it makes them non-personalised.

Analytics

If a web-analytics tag is present on this site, it is Google Analytics 4 with IP anonymisation enabled. It records page views, approximate location (city level), device type and traffic source. It is not used to build profiles of individuals and is not linked to advertising data by us.

You can block analytics with any content blocker or with the browser's Do Not Track setting; the site works identically without it.

Your rights under the GDPR

If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, you have the right to be informed, to access, to rectification, to erasure, to restrict processing, to data portability, and to object to processing. Because this site has no accounts, in most cases we hold no data that identifies you beyond a server log line.

Where processing is based on consent — advertising and analytics cookies — you may withdraw that consent at any time through the consent banner or your browser settings. Where we have a legitimate interest in keeping server logs to secure the site, you may object and we will assess the request.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your national supervisory authority. Requests about your data can be sent to [email protected] and are answered within 30 days.

Your rights under the CCPA

If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information is collected, to request deletion of it, to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, and to not be discriminated against for exercising those rights.

Cupwell does not sell personal information. The only sharing that takes place is the standard disclosure to advertising and analytics providers described above, which you can limit by opting out of personalised advertising and by using a browser content blocker.

To exercise any CCPA right, write to [email protected]. We will confirm receipt and respond within 45 days.

Children

This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. The content is written for adults managing their own daily routine.

Advertising partners and external links

Entries may link to outside sources — a published guideline, a piece of equipment, a reference table. Those sites have their own privacy practices and this policy does not apply to them. No entry contains a paid placement.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the Last updated date at the top of the page changes with it. Material changes — a new advertising partner, a new analytics tool — are described in this section rather than made silently.
