Privacy Policy

Last updated: 1 November 2026.

This policy explains what information FreshSynapse (freshsynapse.com, "we", "us") collects when you visit this website, how we use it, and the choices you have.

Information we collect

• Usage data: like most websites, our hosting provider records standard server logs (pages visited, browser type, referring page, date and time, and an IP address) to keep the site secure and understand which articles are read.
• Information you send us: if you contact us, we keep your message and contact details only to reply and handle your request.
• We do not require accounts, and we do not collect names, payment details, or other personal information through this website.

Cookies

This site itself sets as few cookies as possible. However, third-party services we use — described below — may set cookies on your device. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time; the site will still work.

Advertising and Google AdSense

FreshSynapse may display advertising provided by Google AdSense and other third-party vendors. In connection with that advertising:

• Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites.
• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
• Users may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or by visiting www.aboutads.info to opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising.
• Where required by law (including for visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland), ads will only be personalised after consent is collected through a Google-certified consent management platform, as required by Google's EU user consent policy.

Analytics

We may use privacy-respecting analytics or Google Analytics to understand aggregate reading patterns (for example, which categories are most popular). Analytics data is used in aggregate and is not sold.

Sharing

We do not sell personal information. Data is shared only with the service providers needed to run this site (hosting, analytics, and advertising as described above) or when required by law.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data we hold about you (for example under the EU/UK GDPR). To exercise a right, contact us via the contact page and we will respond within the timeframe required by law.

Children

This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the site's services change. The "last updated" date at the top will change when we do, and continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated policy.
