Privacy Policy

This page explains what information CineGaze collects and how it is used. CineGaze is a small, static website that publishes film notes and reference material. It is operated by a single individual as a hobby project.

The short version

• This site has no user accounts, registration, or login.
• It does not sell anything or accept payments.
• It does not collect personal information through forms.
• It uses cookies only for basic functionality, analytics, and advertising.
• Third-party advertising services, including Google, may display ads and set their own cookies.

Information collected by this site

CineGaze itself does not operate a server-side database or collect personal data. The only information processed relates to standard technical requests needed to serve pages: anonymous, aggregate metrics such as which pages were visited and broad region-level statistics. This information is not used to identify individuals.

Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored by your browser. This site uses cookies for three limited purposes:

• Basic functionality — remembering simple preferences while you browse.
• Analytics — understanding which pages are read most often, in aggregate.
• Advertising — supporting the display and measurement of ads provided by third-party services.

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some features of the site but will not prevent you from reading the content.

Third-party advertising

To help cover hosting costs, this site may display advertising provided by third-party services, including Google. These services may use cookies or similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.

• Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this and other websites.
• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visit to this site and/or other sites on the internet.
• The specific practices, retention periods, and opt-out choices for these services are governed by their own policies, not this one.

You may opt out of personalised advertising through your browser settings or through the settings provided by the advertising service. This site does not control how third-party advertising services handle their data and is not responsible for their practices.

External links

Film entries link to external reference pages so readers can verify credits and find fuller information. Once you follow a link to another website, you are subject to that website's own practices and policies, which CineGaze does not control.

Children

This site is not directed at children and is not intended for use by anyone under the age of 13. No personal information is knowingly collected from children.

Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated occasionally to keep it accurate and consistent with how the site actually works. The most recent version will always be posted on this page.
