Privacy Policy

This page says what HeatCoolFix collects when you read it, what it does with it, and what you can do about it. It is written to be read, not to be skimmed past.

Who we are

HeatCoolFix is a repair guide for the machines that heat and cool a home, at https://heatcoolfix.com. It sells nothing, takes no bookings and does not ask you to create an account.

What we collect

Almost nothing directly. There are no comment boxes, no sign up forms and no accounts for readers. You can read every guide without telling us anything about yourself.

The search box. What you type is sent to our server so it can find matching guides. We do not keep a list of searches ourselves, but see the analytics section below.

The hosting company. Like every website, our host receives the basic details any browser sends when it asks for a page, such as your IP address, the page asked for and the type of browser, and uses them to deliver the page, keep the site running and block attacks.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics to count how many people read the site and which guides they read, so we know which pages are useful and which need work.

Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technology to do that. It records things like the pages you view, roughly where in the world you are, the type of device and browser, how you arrived at the site, and the words typed into the site search. We do not use it to identify you, and we have switched off Google’s data sharing options for this site.

You can read how Google uses this data at How Google uses information from sites that use its services, and you can stop Google Analytics collecting data about you on every site with the Google Analytics opt out browser add-on.

Advertising

HeatCoolFix is paid for by advertising, which is what keeps every guide free to read.

Third party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to this website or other websites.

Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.

You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of a third party vendor’s use of cookies for personalised advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.

If other ad networks or vendors serve ads here, they will be named on this page with a link to their own policies and opt out pages.

Cookies

A cookie is a small file a website stores in your browser. On this site they come from the analytics and advertising described above. The site itself does not need cookies to show you a guide.

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time. The guides will still work.

Links to other sites

Some guides link to other websites, such as a maker’s own support pages. We do not control those sites and this policy does not cover them.

Children

HeatCoolFix is written for adults looking after a home. It is not aimed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect information from them.

Your choices

Because we do not hold accounts, names or email addresses for readers, there is no profile of you here to see, change or delete. What analytics and advertising partners hold is covered by their own policies, linked above, and by the opt outs on this page.

We do not sell personal information.

Changes to this policy

If the site starts collecting anything new, this page changes first and the date at the top changes with it.
