Privacy Policy - HistoryZ

Who we are

HistoryZ is an independent history publication available at https://historyz.net.

Information processed when you visit

Like most websites, our hosting and security systems may process technical information such as your IP address, browser type, requested pages, timestamps, and error or security events. This information is used to operate, secure, and troubleshoot the website.

Information you send to us

If you contact HistoryZ, we use the information you provide only to review and respond to your message, correction request, source question, or business inquiry. Please do not send sensitive personal information.

Cookies and embedded content

The website may use technically necessary cookies for security, administration, and core site functions. Articles may link to or embed material from third-party websites. Those services may process data under their own privacy policies.

Data retention and sharing

Technical and correspondence records are retained only as needed for site operation, security, legal obligations, or responding to requests. HistoryZ does not sell personal information. Information may be processed by service providers that support hosting, security, and website operation, or disclosed when required by law.

Your choices

You may contact us to ask about personal information you have directly submitted to HistoryZ or to request a correction or deletion where applicable.

Contact and updates

Privacy questions can be sent through the contact information on our Contact page. This policy may be updated when site practices or services change.

Google advertising cookies and opt-out choices

If Google advertising is enabled on this website, third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve advertisements based on your previous visits to this website or other websites. Google’s advertising cookies allow Google and its partners to deliver advertisements based on those visits, subject to applicable consent requirements.

You can manage or opt out of personalised Google advertising in Google My Ad Center. Participating third-party vendors provide additional choices through the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out tool. These choices do not necessarily stop all advertisements. Where a consent message is shown, its settings identify participating vendors and let you revisit optional processing choices.

Read how Google uses information from websites and apps that use its services and Google’s cookie policy. Advertising approval and availability are separate from these privacy disclosures.

Optional audience measurement

HistoryZ uses Google Analytics only after you choose to accept optional analytics through the site’s Analytics preferences control. Measurement may use cookies and event information to understand aggregate use of articles and navigation. Declining analytics does not prevent access to the site. You can reopen Analytics preferences at the bottom of a page and decline to withdraw that choice; the site disables its analytics tag and removes its accessible analytics cookies.

Analytics preferences concern audience measurement, not advertising consent. The Advertising privacy information link leads to this policy. Where Google’s European consent system is available and applicable, that link becomes Advertising privacy & cookie settings so that you can reopen Google’s advertising choices. Google advertising approval, message delivery and your consent choice are separate matters.
