Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 29, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains what information is collected when you visit Arenarium Infinitum (https://arenariuminfinitum.com, “the site”, “we”, “us”), how it is used, and what choices you have.
Arenarium Infinitum is a personal blog. It is a static website, and I do not run user accounts, comments, or a database of visitors. The data described below is limited to what is needed to run the site, understand how it is used, and show ads.
1. Information collected
1.1 Information you provide
I do not ask you to create an account or submit personal information to read the site. If you contact me directly (for example by email at arenarium.infinitum@proton.me), I receive whatever you choose to send, such as your name, email address, and message. I use it only to reply to you.
1.2 Information collected automatically
When you visit the site, limited technical data may be processed by our hosting provider, analytics tool, and advertising partners, such as:
- IP address (often truncated or anonymized)
- Browser type and version, device type, operating system
- Pages visited, referring page, and approximate time and duration of the visit
- Approximate location (country or region level, derived from IP)
1.3 Data stored in your browser
The site may store small amounts of data in your browser (local storage or cookies), for example:
- Your preferences, such as the selected color theme
- Consent choices, if a cookie banner is shown
- Cookies set by third-party advertising and analytics services (see below)
2. How the information is used
- To operate, secure, and maintain the site (including limiting bots and scrapers)
- To understand which content is useful and improve it
- To display advertising and measure its performance
- To track affiliate referrals so that commissions can be attributed
- To respond to messages you send me
I do not sell your personal information for money, and I do not build individual profiles myself.
3. Advertising
This site displays ads served by third-party advertising networks (for example Google AdSense). These partners may use cookies, device identifiers, or similar technologies to:
- Show ads based on your visits to this and other websites
- Limit how often you see the same ad
- Measure ad performance and prevent fraud
Ad partners act as independent controllers of the data they collect and have their own privacy policies. You can manage ad personalization through:
- Google Ads Settings: https://adssettings.google.com
- Your browser or device settings (block or delete cookies, use “Limit Ad Tracking” or similar controls)
Ads on this site are intended to be unobtrusive. The site does not use pop-ups or open new windows or tabs for advertising.
4. Affiliate links and disclosure
Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase or sign up, I may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. Participation in affiliate programs (for example [Amazon Associates / other programs]) does not influence my opinions, and I only link to things I consider relevant to the content.
When you click an affiliate link, the affiliate network or merchant may set cookies to record that the visit came from this site. Their handling of your data is governed by their own privacy policies.
5. Analytics
The site uses Google Analytics to measure aggregate traffic. This tool uses cookies and collects usage data as described in its privacy policy.
6. Hosting and third-party services
The site is built from Markdown files and hosted using services that may process visitor data as part of delivering the site:
- Cloudflare — DNS, content delivery, and security (may log IP addresses and request data)
- Advertising and affiliate partners — as described above
- Google fonts
Each provider has its own privacy policy, and I encourage you to review them.
7. Cookies
Cookies and similar technologies are used for preferences, analytics (if applicable), advertising, and affiliate tracking. You can control cookies through your browser settings, including blocking or deleting them. Blocking some cookies may affect how parts of the site work, and you may still see ads, just less relevant ones.
We will be using the local storage for storing theme configuration.
8. Data retention
- Analytics, advertising, and affiliate data are retained by those third parties according to their own policies.
- I do not otherwise store personal data about visitors.
9. Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR in the EU/UK or the CCPA/CPRA in California), you may have the right to:
- Access the personal data held about you
- Request correction or deletion of that data
- Object to or restrict certain processing, including personalized advertising
- Withdraw consent at any time (where processing is based on consent)
- Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority
Because most data is collected by third-party providers, you may also need to contact them directly. To make a request to me, email arenarium.infinitum@proton.me.
10. Children’s privacy
This site is not directed at children under 13 (or under 16 where local law requires), and I do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact me and I will delete it.
11. Security
I rely on the security of the hosting and infrastructure providers listed above and keep the site’s data collection minimal. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so I cannot guarantee absolute security.
12. External links
The site may link to other websites that I do not control. I am not responsible for their content or privacy practices.
13. Changes to this policy
I may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top shows when it last changed. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
