2. Data collected
2.1 Server logs
When you use the search engine, our servers record the IP address, time, and requested path. These logs are used to detect and block attacks (rate limiting) and to keep the service stable. Logs are not used for advertising.
2.2 Cookies
The search functionality itself does not use cookies for search sessions, and no search history is stored. Third-party tools listed below may set cookies or use similar technologies.
Google AdSense and ad providers may use cookies to measure ad effectiveness. These cookies are controlled by Google, not by us. You can manage them through Google Ad Center or your browser privacy settings.
Microsoft Clarity — we use Microsoft Clarity to understand how the site is used (heatmaps, scroll and click patterns, performance metrics). Clarity may set cookies and use local storage or similar technologies. Data is processed by Microsoft under the Microsoft Privacy Statement. You can review or opt out through the Microsoft privacy dashboard or the Microsoft ad settings.
Google Tag Manager & Google Analytics — we use Google Tag Manager to manage the site's measurement tags, including Google Analytics 4, which counts visits and which pages are read so the site can be improved. These tools may set cookies or use similar technologies and send usage data to Google. Data is processed by Google under the Google Analytics privacy guidance. You can manage ad/personalisation cookies through Google Ad Center or install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. This tag is not loaded on our privacy-focused legal pages.
2.3 Indexed content
This service indexes public web pages so that search can work. For each page we store the title, description, up to 6000 characters of text, links, and the URL. We respect robots.txt files and do not index pages that are disallowed.
2.4 Third parties
Third parties that may receive data:
- Google AdSense — advertising
- Google Tag Manager / Google Analytics — tag management & usage analytics (pageviews)
- Microsoft Clarity — usage analytics (heatmaps, scroll/click patterns, performance)

3. Purpose of processing
Data is processed to provide search functionality, keep the service stable, protect the system against attacks, and to fund the service through advertising.
