Privacy Policy

Your privacy matters. This policy explains what information is collected when you visit How Many Zeros, which third-party services are used, and how your data is handled.

Information Collection

This website does not collect any personal information directly. There are no sign-up forms, accounts, or data-entry fields. No name, email, or personal identifier is collected by this site itself.

Cookies

This site uses the following types of cookies:

  • Preference cookie — stores your light/dark mode choice in localStorage. No expiry, never sent to a server.
  • Analytics cookies — set by Google Analytics to measure page views and traffic patterns (see below).
  • Advertising cookies — set by Google AdSense to serve relevant ads (see below).
  • Session recording cookies — set by Microsoft Clarity for heatmaps and session insights (see below).

You can manage or block cookies in your browser settings. Note that blocking advertising or analytics cookies may not affect your ability to use the content of this site.

Google Analytics

This site uses Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with the site — which pages are popular, how long people stay, and where traffic comes from. Google Analytics collects data such as:

  • Pages visited and time spent
  • Approximate geographic location (country/city level)
  • Browser type, operating system, and device
  • Referral source (search engine, direct, social media)

This data is aggregated and does not identify individual users. IP addresses are anonymised. Google Analytics is governed by Google's Privacy Policy. You can opt out using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Google AdSense

This site displays advertisements served by Google AdSense. Google uses cookies to show ads based on your prior visits to this site and other websites on the internet. This enables Google to serve ads relevant to your interests.

Google AdSense may collect:

  • Cookie data to serve personalised ads
  • Interaction data with ad units (impressions, clicks)
  • Approximate location for regional ad targeting

You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google's Ad Settings or aboutads.info. AdSense is governed by Google's Privacy Policy.

Microsoft Clarity

This site uses Microsoft Clarity, a behaviour analytics service that records anonymised user sessions — including mouse movements, clicks, and scrolling patterns — to help improve the site's usability. Clarity may collect:

  • Anonymised session recordings (no personally identifiable information)
  • Heatmap data showing aggregate click and scroll patterns
  • Device and browser type

Clarity does not track personally identifiable information. Data is stored and processed by Microsoft. For more information, see Microsoft's Privacy Statement.

Third-Party Services

This site uses the following third-party services, each with their own privacy policies:

  • Fonts — self-hosted locally via @fontsource. No requests are made to third-party font servers (Google Fonts, etc.).
  • Google Analytics — traffic analysis (see above).
  • Google AdSense — advertising (see above).
  • Microsoft Clarity — session analytics (see above).

This site may link to external websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites. Links to third-party services (Google, Microsoft, Behance) open in a new tab with rel="noopener noreferrer" for security.
