Privacy Policy

Effective Date: January 1, 2026

Welcome to Ice Cream English (https://ice-cream.info). We value your privacy and are committed to protecting any information that may be collected through your use of our website.

1. No Personal Information Required

Ice Cream English is a free educational resource. We do not require users to register, create an account, or provide any personal identification (such as your name, phone number, or physical address) to access our content. You may browse all content on our site anonymously.

2. Information Collected Automatically

While we do not ask for your name or email, certain technical information is collected automatically through our third-party service providers to improve user experience and support our site operations:

  • Google Analytics: We use this to understand how visitors interact with our site (e.g., pages visited, time spent on site, and geographic region). Google Analytics may collect your IP address and device identifiers, but this data is aggregated and does not identify you personally to us.

  • Google AdSense: We display advertisements to keep our content free. Google uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites on the internet.

  • Invisible reCAPTCHA: We use Google’s Invisible reCAPTCHA to prevent spam and ensure a secure environment. Its use is subject to the Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use “cookies” to enhance your experience.

  • First-party cookies: Used for basic site functionality.

  • Third-party cookies: Google Ads and Analytics use cookies to personalize content and ads, and to analyze traffic.

  • Opt-out: You can choose to disable cookies through your browser settings or visit www.aboutads.info to opt-out of a third-party vendor’s use of cookies for personalized advertising.

4. General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) Compliance

For users located in the European Economic Area (EEA), we process your “Personal Data” (which includes IP addresses and cookie identifiers) based on our legitimate interest in analyzing web traffic and funding our site through advertising. Your Rights: Under GDPR, you have the right to access, rectify, or erase your data, and the right to object to processing. Since we do not store names or emails, your rights are primarily exercised by clearing your browser cookies or adjusting your ad settings.

5. California Privacy Rights (CCPA/CPRA and CalOPPA)

Although we do not sell products or services, the CCPA/CPRA requires us to disclose the collection of “Personal Information” (which includes online identifiers like IP addresses).

  • Do Not Sell or Share: We do not “sell” your personal information in the traditional sense. However, the use of third-party advertising cookies may be considered “sharing” for cross-contextual behavioral advertising.

  • Do Not Track (DNT): Our website currently does not respond to DNT signals, but you can manage your privacy via your browser’s “Incognito” or “Private” mode.

6. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA)

Ice Cream English is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information (for example, via email contact), we will delete that information immediately.

7. External Links

Our website may contain links to other websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such third-party sites.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Effective Date.”
