This Privacy Policy explains what information Now Explained (“we”, “us”) collects when you visit this website, how it is used, and the choices available to you.

Information we collect

We do not require an account or any personal information to read articles on this site. The information we do handle is:

• Basic view counts. When you open an article, we log a timestamp and your IP address to count unique views. This data is used only for aggregate readership statistics and is not shared or sold.
• Aggregate analytics. We use Vercel Web Analytics to understand traffic to the site (pages visited, approximate location, device type). This is privacy-friendly by design — it does not use cookies and does not track you individually across sites.
• Admin accounts. Editors who log in to manage articles are authenticated with a secure, HTTP-only session cookie. This applies only to site administrators, not to readers.

Advertising and cookies

This site displays ads served by Google AdSense. Google and its partners use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites. You can learn more about how Google uses data and opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google’s advertising policy page and Google Ad Settings. You can also manage cookie preferences generally through your browser settings.

Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on someone’s past visits to this website or other websites on the internet.

Children’s privacy

This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
