At Sthier.com we really care about your privacy. When you visit our website, we get that you’re trusting us with your personal info. That means a lot to us and we take it seriously.
This page is just here to walk you through what kind of information we collect, why we need it, how we use it, and what we do to keep it safe. We’re not here to confuse you with big words or fancy talk. Just straight-up answers so you know what’s going on.
1. What We Collect and Why We Do It
When you visit Sthier.com we might collect a few basic things. It just helps us figure out how people are using the site so we can make it better for you and everyone else.
Here’s the kind of stuff we might see:
- We get your IP address which just tells us the general area you’re in like the city or state not your exact location or house or anything like that.
- We also see what kind of device or browser you’re using so we can make sure the site loads right and looks good on your screen.
- We look at what pages people check out and how long they stay on them. That helps us know what stuff folks are actually interested in.
- Sometimes we can tell where you came from before landing on our site like if you clicked a link on Google or saw us on Facebook.
- If you reach out to us like filling out a contact form we’ll see the name and email you give us. That’s it.
We never ask for or keep anything sensitive. No passwords no credit card info no ID stuff. That’s not our thing and we don’t want it.
2. How Cookies Work (and How You Can Control Them)
Just like most websites out there we use cookies. They’re these tiny text files that get saved on your phone or computer. They help the site remember you and what you did last time you were here.
Cookies help us do a few useful things :
- Like saving your settings so if you picked dark mode the site remembers that
- They also let us see how people are using the site which pages they visit what they click
- And sometimes we use them to show ads that actually make sense for you instead of random stuff
But hey it’s your device not ours
- So you’ve got full control
- You can block or delete cookies anytime right from your browser settings
The site will still work fine for the most part though a few things might feel a little off or slower
3. Google AdSense & How Ads Work on Our Site
We use Google AdSense to show ads on our site. It’s what helps us keep everything free for you and everyone else.
Here’s how it works:
-
Google might show you ads based on stuff you’ve looked at before on other websites and To do that it uses something called a DART cookie.
- It doesn’t grab any personal info just general stuff like what kinds of sites you visited.
- So let’s say you checked out a camera review site yesterday so You might start seeing camera ads today — that’s how it figures out what might interest you
If you ever wanna stop seeing those personalized ads you can turn them off anytime.
Just go to this page and change your settings: Google Ads Settings
We never see or collect your personal data from Google’s system. We just allow space for ads.
4. GDPR (European & UK Visitors) – Your Rights and Our Responsibility
If you’re visiting from the European Union or the United Kingdom, there’s a privacy law called the General Data Protection Regulation, or GDPR for short. We take it seriously and make sure to follow it the right way.
That means:
-
when you first land on our site, we show you a cookie banner before anything like ads or analytics even loads.
-
We let you know exactly how we use your data and ask for your permission first.
-
You also have the option to say no to any cookies that aren’t absolutely necessary. It’s your data and your choice.
If you’re from the EU or the UK, you’ve got certain rights when it comes to your data :
-
You can ask us what information we have about you. If something’s wrong or out of date, you can ask us to fix it.

5. CCPA / CPRA (California Visitors) – Your Privacy, Your Rights
If you’re visiting from California, you’re covered by privacy laws like the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA).
These laws are there to give you more control over your personal information, and we follow them closely :
-

-
You can also tell us not to sell or share your personal information—though just so you know, we don’t do that anyway.

9. How We Keep Your Data Safe
We use regular security measures to keep your info safe. That includes things like HTTPS encryption and protected servers—basically, the standard stuff websites use to stay secure.
But just so you know, no system on the internet is ever completely bulletproof. There’s always a small risk, even if it’s tiny.
That said, we don’t collect anything sensitive or high-risk in the first place. So even if something ever did go wrong, there’s nothing in our system that could really harm you.
10. Third-Party Services & Links
Sometimes we link out to other websites—like a news story, a product review, or a tool we think you might find useful.
But once you click away and leave our site, this privacy policy doesn’t cover what happens there. Those other sites have their own rules and privacy practices, so it’s a good idea to check them out before you share any personal info.
