Privacy Policy — Cookies, Ads & Data

Overview

Wink Notes is a free educational reference portal. This policy explains what information is collected when you visit, why it is collected, and the choices you have. We keep data collection to the minimum needed to run and improve the site.

By using this website you agree to the practices described below. This policy was last updated in September 2026.

Information we collect

We do not require an account, and we do not ask for your name, email address, or any personal details to read study material.

Like most websites, our servers automatically record standard technical information when you visit — such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, and the time of your visit. This is used for security, troubleshooting, and understanding which pages are most useful to readers.

Cookies and advertising

We use cookies for basic site functionality and to measure readership. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.

Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.

Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings (adssettings.google.com). Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.

If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you will be shown a consent choice for personalised ads where required by law.

Analytics

We may use privacy-respecting analytics to understand aggregate reading patterns — for example, which courses are most searched. Analytics data is viewed only in aggregate and is never used to identify individual visitors.

What we never do

We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information about visitors. We do not run newsletters or collect email addresses except when you voluntarily write to us, and we do not use tracking to build profiles of individual students.

External links

Some pages link to university websites or other reference sources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of external sites, and we encourage you to read their policies when you visit them.

Children's privacy

This site is a general-audience educational reference. It is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes and contact

If we change this policy we will update this page and note the revision date above. Questions about privacy can be sent to winknotes.offical@gmail.com or through our contact page.
