Privacy Policy

last updated 2026-11-03

The short version: What That Mean has no accounts and no forms. We read pages, our hosting provider keeps routine server logs, Google Analytics measures traffic with a cookie, and if you email us we keep the conversation. That is the whole picture.

What we collect

The site is served through Cloudflare, which processes standard technical data for every request — things like IP address, browser user agent and requested URL — to deliver pages and protect against abuse. This data is processed under Cloudflare’s own privacy policy and is not used by us to profile visitors. We do not collect names, emails or browsing histories, because we never ask for them.

Cookies and analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand which entries people find useful and how the site is found. Google sets first-party cookies (with names like _ga and _ga_*) that store an anonymous identifier, typically for up to two years. You can block these cookies in your browser settings or via Google’s own opt-out browser add-on, and the site keeps working without them.

As of the date above, we run no advertising and no other third-party trackers. If advertising is added in the future, vendors (such as Google) may use additional cookies to serve and measure ads — and this page will be updated to say so plainly before that happens, along with any opt-out links available to you.

If you contact us

Email you send to support@whatthatmean.com is kept only to handle your message — a correction, a suggestion, a question. We don’t add correspondents to mailing lists, and we never sell or share contact data with anyone.

Children

What That Mean is written for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We knowingly collect no personal information from any visitor, of any age.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, laws such as the GDPR or CCPA give you rights over personal data. Because we don’t maintain visitor profiles or accounts, there is generally nothing of yours for us to export or delete — but if you have a request or concern, email support@whatthatmean.com and we will help.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version replaces this page with an updated date above. Material changes — like advertising — will be described in plain language, not buried.
