This policy explains how FixWikiHub collects, uses, and protects your information when you visit our site. We are committed to transparency about cookies, analytics, advertising, and affiliate relationships.

Last updated: April 22, 2026

Information We Collect

FixWikiHub collects minimal information necessary to operate the site and understand how visitors use our content:

  • Usage data via analytics: We use Google Analytics to collect anonymized information about page views, session duration, and traffic sources. This data helps us understand which guides are most useful and where we should improve coverage.
  • Device and browser information: Google Analytics collects technical data such as browser type, operating system, screen resolution, and approximate geographic location (city/region level only). No personally identifiable information is collected.
  • Search queries: When you use our site search, the query terms are processed locally on our servers and are not shared with third parties.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

FixWikiHub uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to provide core functionality, analyze traffic, and serve advertising. By continuing to use our site, you consent to our use of cookies as described below.

Types of Cookies We Use

  • Essential cookies: These are necessary for the site to function properly, including theme preference (dark/light mode) and basic navigation. They cannot be disabled.
  • Analytics cookies: We use Google Analytics cookies (including _ga, _gid, and_gat) to understand how visitors interact with our site. These cookies collect aggregated, anonymized data about page visits, time on site, and referral sources. Google Analytics may share this data with other Google services in accordance with their privacy policy.
  • Advertising cookies: We use Google AdSense to display relevant advertisements. Google and its partners may use cookies (including__gads, __gpi, andIDE) to personalize ads based on your browsing history and to measure ad performance. These cookies enable Google to show you ads that are more relevant to your interests across different websites.

Managing Cookies

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. Please note that disabling analytics or advertising cookies will not stop ads from appearing, but they will be less relevant to your interests. To opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites, visit Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. To manage Google ad personalization, visit Google Ad Settings.

Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services to operate and improve FixWikiHub. Each service operates under its own privacy policy:

Affiliate Disclosure

FixWikiHub participates in affiliate marketing programs. When you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. All affiliate relationships are clearly disclosed on the pages where they appear.

Affiliate links do not influence our editorial content. We recommend products and services based on their technical merit and relevance to the troubleshooting topic, not on commission rates.

  • The right to know what personal information is collected about you
  • The right to request deletion of your personal information
  • The right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information
  • The right to non-discrimination for exercising your privacy rights

FixWikiHub collects minimal personal information. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us. We will respond to verifiable requests within 45 days as required by applicable law.

Data Retention and Security

Analytics data is retained according to Google Analytics' default retention policies (typically 26 months). We do not store personal information on our servers. All data transmission is protected by HTTPS encryption.
