Privacy Policy

Information We Collect

We may collect:

Information you provide directly

When you fill out a contact form, leave a comment, or send an email, we may collect your name, email address, and message.

Analytics and usage data

We use tools like Google Analytics to collect anonymous data, such as which pages you visit, your device/browser type, and general location (by country or region).

Cookies and similar technologies

We and our advertising partners use cookies, pixels and local storage to remember your preferences, measure how the site is used, and show ads. Some of these ads may be personalized based on your browsing. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, or change your ad choices in the consent banner shown on this site.

How We Use Your Information

We may use your information to:

• Respond to your messages or comments
• Improve website performance and content
• Understand what topics visitors are interested in
• Send occasional newsletters (only if you opt in)

We never sell your name, email address or contact details. Our advertising partners do collect device and browsing data through cookies to show relevant ads. Section 4 explains how that works and how to opt out.

Affiliate Disclosure

Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you click a link and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission — at no extra cost to you. These earnings help support the blog and allow us to keep content free.

We recommend products we have tested ourselves or researched in depth.

As an Amazon Associate, Makers101 earns from qualifying purchases.

Advertising

Makers101 shows ads through Ezoic Inc. (“Ezoic”) and its advertising partners. These partners may use cookies, device identifiers and similar technologies to show ads that match your interests and to measure how ads perform. Ezoic’s full disclosure, including the list of partners it works with, is available here: Ezoic Services privacy disclosure.

Visitors in the EU, UK and certain US states see a consent banner on their first visit. You can change your choices at any time through that banner. You can also opt out of interest-based ads at aboutads.info or youronlinechoices.eu.

Newsletter and Push Notifications

If you sign up for the newsletter or the free print settings guide, your email address is stored with our email provider, MailerLite. We send a confirmation email first, and you are only added once you click the link in it. Every email includes an unsubscribe link.

If you allow browser notifications, OneSignal delivers them on our behalf. You can turn them off at any time in your browser settings.

Embedded Content and External Links

Some articles may include embedded content (e.g. YouTube videos, social media posts) or links to other websites. These third-party sites may collect data through cookies or tracking tools. We are not responsible for their content or privacy practices.

Your Rights

If you are located in the EU, UK, or California, you have the right to:

• Request access to any personal data we hold about you
• Ask us to delete or update your data
• Opt out of cookie tracking and analytics
• Opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of your personal information for targeted advertising, as defined under California law, through the consent banner or by emailing us

To make a request, please email us at nikita@makers101.com.
