Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 6, 2026

This is a personal blog, redmugguy.dev, written by Red Mug Guy. I don’t sell anything here, there are no accounts, comments or sign-up forms, and I don’t collect your name or email unless you choose to email me.

The site does use a couple of third-party services that set cookies. This page explains what they are and how to opt out.

📊 Analytics Link to heading

I use Google Analytics to see which posts people read and how they found them. Google Analytics uses cookies and collects information such as the pages you visit, how long you stay, your approximate location (based on IP address), your browser and device type, and the site that referred you.

I only look at aggregate reports. I don’t use Analytics to identify individual visitors.

Google’s own explanation of how it uses this data: How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.

📢 Advertising Link to heading

This site uses Google AdSense to show ads.

  • Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your previous visits to this website or other websites.
  • Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the internet.
  • You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google’s Ads Settings.
  • You can opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalized advertising at www.aboutads.info.

Other ad networks or vendors may also serve ads through AdSense. Google maintains a list of them, and you can manage your choices through the links above.

If you’re visiting from the European Economic Area, the UK or Switzerland, you’ll be asked for your consent before personalized ads are shown, and you can change your choice at any time from the consent message.

🍪 Managing Cookies Link to heading

Besides the links above, you can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. The site works fine without them. You may just see less relevant ads.

🖥️ Hosting Link to heading

Like any website, the hosting provider that serves these pages may keep standard server logs (IP address, requested page, browser and time) for security and operations.

✉️ Email Link to heading

If you email me at contact@redmugguy.dev, I’ll use your address only to reply. I won’t add you to a list or share it.

👶 Children Link to heading

This site is written for software developers and isn’t directed at children under 13. I don’t knowingly collect information from children.

🔄 Changes Link to heading

If this policy changes, I’ll update this page and the date at the top.
