At AddictFishing.com we take your privacy seriously. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and what choices you have — including in relation to advertising cookies used by Google AdSense.
1. Information We Collect
Information You Provide
We may collect your email address if you voluntarily subscribe to our newsletter or contact us via the contact form. We do not sell, rent, or share this information with third parties for their marketing purposes.
Automatically Collected Information
When you visit AddictFishing.com, certain information is automatically collected by our servers and analytics tools, including your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, pages visited, and time spent on pages. This data is used in aggregated, anonymous form to improve the site.
2. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use cookies — small text files placed on your device — to operate the site, understand how visitors use it, and serve relevant advertising. We use three categories of cookies:
Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function. They remember your cookie consent preference and enable core site features. They cannot be disabled.
Analytics Cookies
We use analytics services (such as Google Analytics) to understand traffic patterns, popular content, and how users navigate the site. These cookies collect anonymous, aggregated data. You may opt out by rejecting non-essential cookies in our cookie banner or by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Advertising Cookies (Google AdSense)
AddictFishing.com participates in the Google AdSense advertising programme. Google and its advertising partners use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our site and other sites on the internet. These advertising cookies allow Google to show you relevant ads across the web.
Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our visitors based on their visits to AddictFishing.com and/or other sites on the internet. Users may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page.
When you visit this site, Google AdSense may set or read cookies on your browser to collect information about your browsing activity and show you relevant advertisements. The data collected includes, but is not limited to, page views, ad impressions, and ad interactions.
For more information on how Google uses data when you use our site, please visit: How Google uses data from sites that use their services.
3. Google Consent Mode
We have implemented Google Consent Mode v2 on this website. By default, advertising and analytics cookies are disabled until you grant consent via our cookie banner. If you select "Reject Non-Essential," personalised advertising will not be served and your data will not be used for analytics.
4. Third-Party Links
AddictFishing.com may contain links to external websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of any third-party site you visit.
5. Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:
- Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
- Deletion: Request that we delete your personal data.
- Correction: Request correction of inaccurate personal data.
- Opt-out: Opt out of personalised advertising at any time via our cookie banner or through Google's ad settings.
- CCPA (California residents): You have the right to know what personal information is collected, the right to opt out of the sale of personal information (we do not sell personal information), and the right to non-discrimination for exercising your rights.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected].
6. Data Retention
We retain newsletter email addresses for as long as you remain subscribed. Analytics data is retained in aggregated, anonymous form. Cookie consent preferences stored in your browser expire after 12 months.
7. Children's Privacy
AddictFishing.com does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.
