This Privacy Policy explains how Captain's Meta ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and safeguards information when you visit this website. By using the site, you agree to the practices described here.
Information we collect
We do not ask you to create an account, and we do not sell personal information. We collect:
- Usage data — pages visited, referring site, approximate location (country/region), device and browser type, collected through analytics in aggregate.
- Cookies and similar technologies — small files used for analytics and, where applicable, advertising (see below).
- Information you provide — only if you contact us (e.g. via our contact page), limited to what you choose to send.
Cookies and similar technologies
Cookies help us understand how the site is used and allow advertising partners to deliver and measure ads. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings, and you can manage advertising cookies through the consent tools described below. Blocking some cookies may affect how the site functions.
Third-party advertising (Google AdSense)
We use Google AdSense to display ads. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.
- 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.
- You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
- You can opt out of third-party vendor cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info/choices or youronlinechoices.eu.
- For more on how Google uses data when you use our partners' sites or apps, see policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
For visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland (GDPR), and in applicable US states, we use a Google-certified consent management platform to request your consent or present privacy choices before personalized ads are served. You can change your choices at any time through the consent prompt on the site.
Analytics
We use privacy-respecting analytics to understand traffic in aggregate. Where possible this runs in a cookieless or anonymized mode and is not used to identify you personally.
Affiliate links
Some links on this site are affiliate links, and we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Affiliate networks may set cookies to attribute referrals. See our Affiliate Disclosure for details.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete your personal data, and to opt out of personalized advertising or the "sale"/"sharing" of personal information (as defined under laws such as the GDPR and the CCPA/CPRA).
