2. What Data We Collect

We collect minimal data. Specifically:

Log data: GitHub Pages (our hosting provider) automatically collects standard server logs including IP address, browser type, referring page, and pages visited. We do not have direct access to these logs and do not use them to identify individuals.
Cookies: Our sites may use cookies to store preferences such as theme settings. These cookies are essential for site functionality and are not used for tracking.

We do not collect personal information such as names, email addresses, or phone numbers through our websites, except where you voluntarily contact us by email. All tool and calculator operations run entirely in your browser — no data you input is transmitted to any server.

3. Third-Party Advertising (Google AdSense)

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on our websites. Google AdSense may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.

Google uses a cookie to serve ads based on your visit. You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
For more information about how Google uses your data, please see How Google Uses Information from Sites or Apps Where You Use Our Services.
You can also opt out of personalised advertising from other ad networks at Your Ad Choices or Your Online Choices (EU).

Third-party advertising companies may collect and use data about your visits to this and other websites to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you.

6. Children's Privacy

GCSE Revise is designed for students aged 14–16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. We do not require registration, do not collect names or email addresses, and do not use social media plugins. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided personal information to us, please contact us and we will take steps to remove it.

10. Affiliate Links and Disclosure

Some links on our sites are affiliate links, meaning we may earn a small commission if you make a purchase through them — at no extra cost to you. This includes links to Amazon products and our email partner, Fastmail. We only recommend products and services we genuinely believe are useful. Affiliate income helps us keep all our tools free and ad-light.
