Welcome! At Online Hidden Object Games (https://www.online-hiddenobjectgames.com), we value the privacy of our users. This privacy policy explains what types of information may be collected when you visit our website (especially through third-party services such as Google AdSense), how this information may be used, and how you can protect your rights.
Please read this policy carefully. By using our website, you accept the practices outlined in this privacy policy.
1. Information We Collect
Our website does not directly collect personally identifiable information (such as first name, last name, email address, etc.) from our visitors. However, when you visit and use our site, certain information may be collected automatically or through third-party services:
a. Standard Web Server Logs (Logs):
- Anonymized or non-personal technical data such as your IP address, browser type, operating system information, pages visited, date and time of visit. This information is generally collected for site administration, trend analysis, and to ensure that our site functions properly.
b. Cookies and Similar Technologies:
- Our site and third-party services that advertise on our site, such as Google AdSense, may use cookies to enhance user experience, remember preferences, and serve interest-based ads. For more information about cookies, see the "Cookies" and "Google AdSense and Advertising" sections below.
2. How We Use Information
We may use the aggregated and anonymized information collected for the following purposes:
- To ensure that our site functions properly and to manage it.
- To analyze user experience and improve our site.
- To ensure that advertisements tailored to your interests are displayed through Google AdSense.
- To comply with our legal obligations.
3. Cookies
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device through your browser. Our site may use cookies for basic functionality and, in particular, for the operation of third-party services such as Google AdSense.
- Third Party Cookies: Third parties, such as Google AdSense, that provide advertising services on our site may place their own cookies. These cookies are used to deliver ads based on your interests and to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. These third parties' use of cookies is subject to their own privacy policies and is not under our control.
You can manage, block or delete cookies through your browser settings. You can learn how to change these settings from your browser's help menu. However, please note that some features of our site and ads may not function properly if you disable cookies.
4. Google AdSense and Advertising
We use the Google AdSense service to serve ads on our site.
- Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on our site.
- Google's use of the DoubleClick DART cookie allows it to serve ads to our users based on their visits to our site and other sites on the internet.
- Users may opt out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the Google Ad and Content Network privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads
- When you visit our site, third-party advertising companies (including Google AdSense) may be used to provide ads. These companies may use information (not including your name, address, email address, or telephone number) from your visits to this and other websites in order to show you advertisements about goods and services of interest to you.

5. Sharing of Information
Since our site does not directly collect your personal information, we do not share such information with third parties. Data collected by third-party services, such as Google AdSense, is managed and shared according to their own privacy policies. Unless there is a legal obligation or it is necessary to protect the rights of our site, general data such as server logs are not shared with third parties.
6. Third Party Links
Our site may contain links to third party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of that site when you visit such sites.
7. Children's Privacy
Our site is not directed to children under the age of 16, and we do not knowingly collect or target personal information from children in this age group. Google AdSense policies also include restrictions on advertising on child-directed sites. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided us (or a third party service through our site) with personal information, please contact us.
8. Your Rights
Because our site does not directly collect personal information, requests to access, correct, or delete your personal information should generally be directed to advertising service providers, such as Google. You can use the tools provided by Google and the opt-out links provided above in the “Google AdSense and Advertising” section to manage your rights and preferences regarding Google’s data collection and use practices.
9. Changes to Privacy Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. When changes are made to the policy, we will notify you by posting a notice on our site or by updating the “Last Updated Date” at the top of the policy. Your continued use of our site after changes are posted means you accept the updated policy.
