Privacy Policy

PluginScout is published by Practical Stuff Studio. The public site does not currently offer user accounts or collect account profile information.

If you contact us by email, we use the information you send only to read, respond to, and process your message, correction, diagnosis feedback, or plugin update.

PluginScout may process ordinary technical information that browsers and hosting providers use to deliver a website, such as IP address, device type, browser type, pages requested, timestamps, and basic security logs.

PluginScout may use Google AdSense to display advertising on eligible pages. Google and other third-party vendors may use cookies or similar technologies to serve ads, measure ad performance, prevent abuse, limit frequency, and support advertising reporting.

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to PluginScout or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables Google and its partners to serve ads based on visits to this site and other sites on the internet.

Depending on location, consent status, account settings, and Google configuration, ads may be personalized or non-personalized. Non-personalized ads are based on contextual information rather than a user's past activity, but they may still use cookies or similar technologies for frequency capping, aggregated reporting, and fraud prevention.

Google advertising technologies may include cookies, web beacons, local storage, device identifiers, ad request data, and related measurement signals. These technologies help deliver ads, measure ad performance, protect against invalid activity, and comply with advertising policies.

PluginScout does not sell account profile information and does not host third-party plugin downloads. Advertising partners may process data according to their own policies when ads are served or measured.

You can manage personalized advertising choices through Google Ads Settings. You can also control cookies through your browser settings, including blocking or deleting cookies.

Where required, PluginScout should present a consent choice before using non-essential cookies or advertising technologies. Users in the EEA, the UK, and Switzerland should be offered consent choices through a Google-certified consent management platform before personalized ads are requested.

If you disable cookies or decline consent, some advertising or measurement features may be limited, but PluginScout's diagnosis and research pages should remain accessible.

Third-party links may lead to external developer websites, directories, publications, or advertising destinations with their own privacy practices. Review those policies before downloading software, creating accounts, or submitting information.
