Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 26, 2025

At CodeSweetly, your privacy and trust are important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect (or, more accurately, do not collect) and handle your data to maintain a simple, safe, and respectful browsing experience for our users, how we use privacy-first tools and services, and your rights under laws such as the GDPR, CCPA, and other applicable privacy regulations.

About CodeSweetly

CodeSweetly is a developer-focused educational platform that offers simplified tutorials, examples, cheat sheets, and visuals to help learners understand software development concepts such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, Git, and general computing. Our website address is: https://codesweetly.com.

No Personal Data Collection

We respect your privacy and do not collect personally identifiable information (PII). You can explore and use our site freely without providing your name, email address, or other personal details.

Cookies and Tracking

CodeSweetly does not set cookies or use tracking technologies to monitor your behavior on our website.

However, please note:

• Some pages may contain third-party links or scripts (e.g., embedded content, external libraries, or code pens), which may have their own data collection or tracking practices. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of those third-party services when interacting with their content.

Web Analytics

To better understand how our website performs and is used, we use Cloudflare Web Analytics, a privacy-first analytics tool that:

• Does not use cookies
• Does not collect or store personal data
• Does not track users across websites

This tool gives us anonymous insights such as total visits and device types—without compromising your privacy.

Advertising

We display ads in two ways:

a. EthicalAds (Third-Party Ads)

We use EthicalAds, a privacy-focused ad network that shows relevant ads without tracking you or setting cookies. EthicalAds may collect limited, non-personal information (such as browser type or location by IP) to serve region-appropriate content without identifying you. EthicalAds is fully compliant with GDPR, CCPA, and other privacy standards.

b. Internal Promotions

We promote our own products, such as books, apparel, and gifts. These internal ads may link to platforms like Fourthwall and Amazon, where our products are available. Please review the privacy practices of any third-party sites you visit through these links.

Affiliate & Sponsorship Programs

CodeSweetly participates in affiliate and sponsorship programs with carefully selected partners. This means:

• Some links on our site may direct you to third-party products or services.
• If you make a purchase through one of these links, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you.
• For example, as an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.

These programs help support our free content. All partnerships are chosen with care and relevance to our audience. Please review the privacy practices of any third-party sites you visit through these links, as they may set cookies or use tracking technologies after you leave our site.

Third-Party Links and Scripts

Some tutorials on CodeSweetly may use embedded scripts or external tools (e.g., from StackBlitz, CodePen, or CDNs). These third-party services may have their own privacy policies and data practices that differ from ours. We encourage you to review their policies if you interact with their content.

Your Rights Under GDPR and Other Laws

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, California, or other regions with privacy laws, you may have the right to:

• Know what personal data (if any) we collect and how we use it
• Request access to any personal data we may hold (we don’t collect any, but you’re still entitled to ask)
• Request correction or deletion of your data
• Object to or restrict processing
• File a complaint with your data protection authority

To exercise your rights or ask questions, please contact us. We respond to all valid requests in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

Data Sharing and Transfers

We do not sell, share, or rent your personal information—because we do not collect it.

If you visit third-party services through links on our site, their data-handling practices will apply. Please consult their privacy policies.

Children’s Privacy

CodeSweetly is intended for general audiences and developers of all experience levels. We do not knowingly collect data from children under the age of 13. If you believe a child has submitted personal information to us, please contact us so we can remove it.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. Continued use of the site after changes indicates your acceptance of the updated terms.

Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy.

By using CodeSweetly, you agree to this Privacy Policy and our commitment to maintaining a privacy-respecting learning environment.
