This Privacy Policy explains how Checkout Practice handles information when you visit www.checkoutpractice.com. We don't require accounts, logins, or forms. This policy mainly concerns cookies used by our advertising and donation partners.
1. Information we collect
We do not directly collect, store, or request any personal information (no sign-ups, no forms, no accounts). However, third parties we use may collect data via cookies when you visit:
- Google AdSense may use cookies to serve ads and measure their performance, and may use your browsing activity across sites to personalize ads shown to you. If you're located in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, Google's own certified consent management platform collects your consent before any personalized advertising cookies are set.
- Ko-fi powers our optional "Tip us" widget, which loads on every visit and may use cookies to power the donation form. If you choose to use the donation button, Ko-fi handles any payment information directly; we never see or store it.
- Basic technical data (IP address, browser type, approximate location) may be logged automatically by our hosting provider for security and performance, as is standard for any website.
2. Cookies
This site uses cookies placed by Google AdSense (to serve and measure ads) and by Ko-fi (to power the optional "Tip us" widget), both of which may load on every visit. For visitors in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland, Google's certified consent management platform handles consent for ad cookies directly, in line with GDPR and PECR. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings, or opt out of personalized advertising via Google Ads Settings and the Digital Advertising Alliance.
3. Third-party links
This site may contain affiliate links (e.g. to dart equipment). If you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. We don't control, and aren't responsible for, the privacy practices of those third-party sites.
4. Children's privacy
This Service is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through a third-party service linked here, contact us here and we'll address it.
5. Your rights
Depending on where you're located, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict use of your data under the Australian Privacy Act 1988, the EU/UK GDPR, or the California CCPA/CPRA. Since we don't hold personal data ourselves, most such requests (e.g. ad personalization opt-outs) are handled directly through Google's tools linked above. For anything else, contact us here.
Australian users may also lodge a complaint with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (oaic.gov.au).
