Introduction
Welcome to How-Is.Online (“we,” “our,” or “us”). We operate the website https://how-is.online/, an educational platform focused on animals, parenting, and the environment. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information. By using our site, you consent to the practices described.

Information Collection and Use
We collect minimal information to operate and improve our site:

Personal Information: If you contact us via email or a form, we may collect your name and email address to respond.
Automated Data: We automatically receive non-personal data from your browser, such as your IP address, browser type, and pages visited. This is used for site analytics.
Cookies: We and our partners use cookies and similar technologies. See Section 3 for details.

Cookies and Advertising (Google AdSense Requirements)
Our website uses Google AdSense to display advertisements. This service is provided by Google Inc. (“Google”).

Third-Party Vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to your website or other websites.
Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our sites and/or other sites on the Internet.
Opting Out: Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google’s Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor’s use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.

Because we have not opted out of third-party ad serving, other third-party vendors or ad networks may also use cookies to serve ads on our site. You can visit the websites of these vendors to opt out of their use of cookies for personalized advertising (if they offer this capability).

We comply with evolving privacy laws, including those in various U.S. states (like Indiana, Kentucky, and Rhode Island) and the European Union’s GDPR. Where required, we honor user preferences like the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal.
