This glossary is a set of plain static pages. We do not ask for, store, or process any personal information, and we run no accounts, no login system, and no contact forms that save data to a server. You can read every definition without sharing a single detail about yourself.

What this site does

InvestGlossary is hosted as static files. When you open a page, your browser downloads the file and displays it. There is no database, no user account, no login, and no comment system. The only communication channel is the contact page, which works through a plain mailto link and stores nothing on our side. We simply have no mechanism to collect, store, or share your personal information, and we do not want one.

Cookies and advertising

If we later enable advertising on this site, it will be served through Google AdSense. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. The DoubleClick cookie, in particular, enables Google and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to this site or other sites on the Internet.

Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet. You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google’s Ads Settings at google.com/settings/ads. Alternatively, you can opt out of some third-party vendors’ uses of cookies for personalised advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info, the industry opt-out portal provided by the Digital Advertising Alliance.

These controls are the standard, industry-recognised tools for managing personalised advertising. They apply across the web, not just to this site, and they are the same options you would find on any site that uses Google AdSense.

What we do not do

We do not sell, rent, or share personal data with anyone, because we do not collect any in the first place. We do not run retargeting pixels. We do not use email lists. We do not build profiles of visitors. We do not track you across other websites. The glossary exists to be read, and reading it requires no identity and leaves no trace that we could store even if we wanted to.

Analytics

Should we add privacy-friendly, aggregated analytics in the future, it will be limited to anonymous page-view counts and will never include personal identifiers. Any such change will be described on this page before it takes effect, and the same opt-out links above will apply to any advertising we enable. We will never introduce practices that require this policy to hide something from you.

External links

The privacy policy and a few entries link to external sites such as Google Ads Settings and aboutads.info. Those sites operate under their own privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their practices. We link to them because they are the standard, reputable tools for exercising your choices about personalised advertising.

Questions about this policy can be sent to hello@investglossary.online. We review privacy practices whenever we consider any change to the site, and we will update this page honestly to reflect what we actually do.
