Privacy Policy
This policy explains what information may be processed when you visit WireShaman and how to control optional browser storage.
Information processed when you visit
WireShaman does not require an account. Like most websites, its hosting and delivery providers may process technical request information such as an IP address, browser type, requested URL, timestamp, and security or diagnostic data. Those providers process information under their own terms and retention practices.
The current newsletter form runs in the browser and is not connected to a mailing-list provider. WireShaman does not currently receive or retain the address entered there.
Cookies and local storage
The privacy notice stores one first-party preference named wireshaman-privacy-choice-v1 in your browser's local storage. It records whether you accepted or rejected optional technologies so the site can remember your choice. You can reopen the notice through “Cookie settings” and change the selection.
Blocking or clearing browser storage may cause the notice to appear again. Essential security and delivery operations may occur regardless of the optional preference.
Advertising and Google services
WireShaman is preparing to use Google AdSense. When advertising is enabled, Google and its partners may use cookies, web beacons, IP addresses, or other identifiers to deliver, measure, limit, and personalize advertising where permitted.
Google explains how it uses information from partner sites in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services. You can manage personalized advertising in Google Ads Settings.
Where required, advertising consent will be collected through a Google-certified consent management platform. The WireShaman preference notice does not replace choices presented by that certified platform.
External links and embedded services
Articles link to publishers, vendors, standards bodies, and other external sources. Visiting those sites subjects you to their privacy practices. WireShaman does not control their content, cookies, or retention policies.
Your choices and contact
- Use “Cookie settings” to revisit the local WireShaman preference.
- Use your browser controls to delete or block cookies and local storage.
- Use Google Ads Settings to control Google ad personalization.
Privacy questions or requests can be sent to corrections@wireshaman.com. Include “Privacy” in the subject line. This policy may be updated when services or legal requirements change.
