Privacy policy
The full receipt for fliplab.fyi: what gets logged, which cookies ads and affiliate stores may set, and how to switch off personalized ads.
Here’s what fliplab.fyi keeps when you visit, itemized like a receipt.
Nothing to sign up for
No accounts, no comments, no profile. There’s nothing here to log in to.
The server’s tally
Each page you open adds a line to the server’s access log: your IP address, your browser, the page and a time stamp. We go through it to catch attacks and broken pages, and old lines get tossed on a rolling basis.
Ads and their cookies
Ads from other companies, Google among them, may turn up on FlipLab. What their cookies do:
- Ad companies, Google included, set cookies so the ads you get can be based on sites you visited earlier, this one included.
- Google’s ad cookies let Google and the partners it works with pick ads for you from your trips around FlipLab, the rest of the web, or both.
- Google lays out the details on its partner sites policy page.
Turning off personalized ads
- Google: switch personalized ads off in Google Ads Settings.
- Plenty of other ad companies: opt out in one place at aboutads.info/choices.
Affiliate links
Click an affiliate link and the store on the other end may set a cookie so it knows FlipLab sent you. Once you’re on their site, their privacy policy is the one that counts.
Kids
FlipLab is for adults doing their own buying and selling. It isn’t meant for anyone under 13, and we don’t knowingly keep any information about kids.
If this changes
Add analytics, an email list or any other way of collecting info, and this page gets a new line saying so.
