This policy explains what information Qbitics (qbitics.com) collects when you visit, how it is used, and the choices you have. By using the site you agree to this policy.
Information we collect
- Information you send us. If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you write.

- Cookies and similar technologies. Small files stored by your browser, used for analytics and advertising as described below.
We do not ask you to create an account, and we do not collect wallet addresses, payment details or identity documents.
How we use information
- To run, secure and improve the site.
- To understand which articles are read, in aggregate.
- To reply to messages.
- To show advertising that pays for the site.
Advertising and Google AdSense
We use, or intend to use, Google AdSense to display ads. This involves the following.
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your earlier visits to this website or other websites.
- Google's advertising cookies enable it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and other sites on the internet.
- You can opt out of personalised advertising at Google Ads Settings. You can opt out of some other vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising at aboutads.info.
- Google explains how it uses information from sites that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
Advertising partners may also use web beacons and IP addresses to measure how ads perform. We do not control cookies set by advertisers.
Consent in the EEA, UK and Switzerland
If you visit from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, we ask for your consent before cookies are used for personalised advertising, through a consent message. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time using the privacy link shown on the site.
Analytics
We may use an analytics service such as Google Analytics to count visits and see which pages are popular. These services use cookies and collect data such as approximate location, device type and pages viewed. You can block analytics cookies in your browser settings or with a browser add-on provided by the analytics service.
Managing cookies
You can delete or block cookies in your browser settings. The site still works without them, although ads may be less relevant.
Sharing of information
We do not sell personal information. We share data only with service providers that help run the site (hosting, analytics, advertising), or when the law requires it.

Depending on where you live, laws such as the GDPR or the CCPA may give you the right to access, correct or delete personal data we hold about you, to object to certain processing, and to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. To make a request, email contact@qbitics.com.
Data retention
Server logs are kept for a limited period for security and troubleshooting. Emails are kept for as long as needed to deal with the matter and then deleted.

This site is not directed at children under 13 (or under 16 where that is the local age of digital consent), and we do not knowingly collect their personal information.
