Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 1, 2026

At Simple Printables ("we," "us," or "our"), your privacy matters to us. This Privacy Policy explains what information is collected when you visit simpleprintables.blogspot.com (the "Site"), how it's used, and — because this Site displays advertising — specifically how Google collects and uses data through the services we use. If you have questions after reading this, you can reach us through the Site's contact page.

Information We Collect

Information you give us directly. If you contact us, subscribe to updates, or leave a comment, we may collect basic personal information such as your name and email address.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we (and the third-party services we use) automatically collect non-personal and pseudonymous information when you visit, including your browser type, device type, general location, pages viewed, time spent on the Site, and referring URLs. This is collected primarily through cookies and similar tracking technologies, described below.

Google AdSense

Simple Printables uses Google AdSense, a third-party advertising service provided by Google, to display ads on this Site. Google AdSense may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this Site and other websites across the internet.

Specifically:

  • Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies (including the DoubleClick cookie) to serve ads on this Site.
  • 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. This is often referred to as personalized or interest-based advertising.
  • Ad partners working with Google may also use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to collect information for the purpose of measuring ad performance and delivering relevant ads.
  • We do not control the content of ads shown by Google AdSense, nor do we have access to the specific cookie data Google collects for ad personalization.

How to Opt Out of Personalized Advertising

You can control or opt out of personalized advertising served by Google in a few ways:

  • Visit Google's Ads Settings to opt out of personalized advertising: https://adssettings.google.com/
  • Visit the Digital Advertising Alliance's opt-out page if you'd like to opt out of participating third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising: https://optout.aboutads.info/
  • You can also generally opt out of certain third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info/choices.

Note that opting out does not mean you will stop seeing ads — it means the ads you see may no longer be personalized based on your browsing activity.

Google Analytics

Simple Printables uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, to help us understand how visitors use the Site — for example, which pages are most popular and how visitors navigate the Site. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect standard internet log information and visitor behavior information in an anonymous or pseudonymous form.

The information generated by the cookie about your use of the Site (including your IP address, which may be truncated or anonymized) is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers, potentially outside your country of residence. Google uses this information to evaluate your use of the Site, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage.

You can prevent Google Analytics from recognizing you on return visits by disabling cookies in your browser, or by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Cookies, Generally

A cookie is a small text file stored on your device that helps websites and services remember information about your visit. In addition to the Google AdSense and Google Analytics cookies described above, this Site may use cookies for basic functionality, such as remembering that you've dismissed a cookie notice.

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies, delete existing cookies, or receive a warning before a cookie is stored. Please note that disabling cookies may affect certain features of the Site, and will not remove ads — it will only affect whether those ads are personalized.

How Google Uses Information

Google's use of information collected through AdSense and Analytics on this Site is governed by Google's own privacy policy. We encourage you to review it directly:

Other Third-Party Services

Beyond Google AdSense and Google Analytics, we may from time to time use other trusted third-party tools (for example, comment or contact-form services provided by Blogger/Google) to operate the Site. These services may independently collect information in accordance with their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party service linked from or embedded in this Site.

How We Use the Information We Collect Directly

Information you provide to us directly (such as your name or email address, if you contact us or subscribe) may be used to:

  • Respond to your inquiries or messages
  • Send occasional updates, but only if you've subscribed to receive them
  • Improve our content based on visitor feedback

We do not sell or trade your personally identifiable information to third parties. We may share non-personal, aggregated information with service providers (like Google, described above) as part of operating the Site and displaying advertising.

Children's Privacy

This Site is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.

Data Retention and Security

We retain information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy. We take reasonable measures to protect information we hold, but no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your Choices

In addition to the ad-personalization opt-outs described above, you can:

  • Adjust your browser settings to block or delete cookies
  • Use browser extensions or privacy tools to limit tracking
  • Contact us to ask what personal information (if any) we hold about you, or to request it be corrected or deleted

Consent

By continuing to use this Site, you consent to the collection and use of information as described in this Privacy Policy, including the use of cookies by Google AdSense and Google Analytics as described above.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal or regulatory reasons. Any changes will be posted on this page along with an updated "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or how your information is handled, please reach out through the contact form on the Site.
