Privacy Policy

<strong>Last updated: 2026-09-18</strong>

This policy describes how Stripped &amp; Stained (jovially.top) handles information when you read the bench notes. The site is a set of static pages; there is no account system, no comment form and no newsletter.

What is collected automatically

Like almost every site on the web, the server that delivers these pages records the request itself: the page asked for, the time, the referring address, the browser's user-agent string and the requesting IP address. Those server logs are used to spot broken links and abuse, and are rotated and discarded on the hosting provider's normal schedule.

Google AdSense and advertising

This site is intended to be supported by advertising served by Google AdSense. When ads are shown, Google and its partners may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.

  • Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites.
  • Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visits to this site and/or other sites on the internet.
  • Users may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings at adssettings.google.com.
  • You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising at aboutads.info.

DoubleClick and the DoubleClick DART cookie

Google's advertising system, historically branded DoubleClick, may place a DART cookie when ads are served. That cookie is used to serve ads to users based on their visits to this site and other sites on the internet. Visitors can opt out of the use of the DART cookie through Google's advertising settings page.

Your rights under the GDPR (EEA, UK, Switzerland)

If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, you have the right to be informed about the processing of your personal data, to request access to it, to have inaccurate data corrected, to request erasure, to restrict or object to processing, and to data portability. Because this site stores no account data, the practical route for most of these requests is to contact the advertising partners named above; requests made to us are answered at the address below.

The legal basis relied on for serving personalised advertising is consent, obtained through the consent management platform shown to visitors in those regions. You can change or withdraw that consent at any time from the same panel.

Your rights under the CCPA / CPRA (California)

California residents have the right to know what personal information is collected, to request deletion, to request correction, to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, and to be free from discrimination for exercising those rights. This site does not itself sell personal information. Advertising partners may process data in ways that count as 'sharing' under the CPRA; the opt-out links in the advertising section above are the mechanism for that.

Children

This site is written for adults doing practical work with tools and solvents. It is not directed at children and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 16.

External links

Records here sometimes link to a manufacturer's safety data sheet, a standards body or a conservation organisation. Those sites have their own privacy policies, which we have no control over.
