Privacy Policy

Last Updated: November 18, 2025

Welcome to Linux Simplify. We create straightforward, practical guides about Linux, networking, and related technologies. This Privacy Policy explains, in plain language, what information we collect, why we collect it, and what choices you have. We wrote this to be clear and useful — not full of legal terms — while meeting the requirements of services we use, including Google and Google AdSense.

1. What information we collect

a) Information you give us directly

If you contact us through email or a contact form, we collect the information you provide, such as your name, email address, and the contents of your message. This information is only used to respond to you.

When you visit Linux Simplify, our server and analytics tools automatically collect technical details such as:

  • Your IP address
  • Browser type and version
  • Device information
  • Pages you visit and how long you stay

This helps us improve the website and understand what readers find most helpful.

2. Cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies to keep the website functional, understand visitor behavior, and support advertising. Cookies let us:

  • Remember simple preferences
  • Improve layout and content decisions
  • Serve ads through Google AdSense

You can disable cookies through your browser settings, although some features may not work as expected.

3. Advertising and Google AdSense

Linux Simplify uses Google AdSense to display ads. Google and other ad partners may use cookies and similar technologies to show relevant ads based on your browsing activity.

According to Google’s requirements:

  • Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.

We do not sell your personal information.

5. Third-party services and links

Our site sometimes links to external resources, such as Linux documentation or networking vendors. These sites have their own privacy policies, which may differ from ours. Third-party analytics or advertising tools may also collect data under their respective policies.

6. Security

We take reasonable steps to protect the information we collect. However, no internet transmission or storage system is completely secure. Please avoid sending sensitive personal details through contact forms or email.

7. Children’s privacy

Linux Simplify is not designed for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If information about a child under 13 has been submitted, please contact us so we can remove it.
