Privacy,
plainly stated.

Last updated September 29, 2026. This notice describes the current static HowCurio site.

Information on this site

The current site has no account registration, comment form, advertising tags, or affiliate tracking. The guide filter runs in your browser and does not send its text to HowCurio. Cloudflare delivers the public site through a tunnel to a local server and adds its Web Analytics beacon to public pages. The beacon records page views and performance information; Cloudflare says it does not use cookies or browser storage to track individual visitors. Cloudflare also handles requests for delivery, security, and operational purposes, which can involve your IP address and browser details. HowCurio does not run a separate Google Analytics script.

External services

Guides link to third-party tools. Following a link or uploading a file to one of them puts you under that service's terms and privacy practices. HowCurio does not receive the files you upload there. When we test an online service, we use synthetic files; other guides may rely on official instructions without an independent upload test. Check your privacy requirements before sending your documents to another service.

Messages

When you email the editorial address, the message is routed by Cloudflare to our mailbox. We receive the address and content you send so we can reply and review the issue. Please avoid sending sensitive documents. For privacy requests, email contact@howcurio.com.

Advertising changes

HowCurio has applied for AdSense, but there are no ads or Google ad tags on the current site. The public ads.txt file identifies the authorized seller; it does not load ads in your browser. If ads are enabled later, Google and other ad providers may place or read cookies, or use web beacons and IP addresses, to deliver and measure ads. Read how Google uses information from partner sites. Before turning on ad delivery, we will identify the actual providers and uses in this notice and add consent controls where required. Personalized ads for visitors in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland require a Google-certified consent management platform integrated with the IAB framework. An AdSense application does not mean the site has been approved.
