Privacy policy
This policy explains what information HeatingCodes (heatingcodes.com) collects when you visit, how cookies and advertising work, and the choices you have.
Information we collect
- We do not ask you to create an account and we do not collect names, addresses or payment information through the site.
- Calculators and the fault code decoder run in your browser. What you type into them is not sent to our servers.
- Server logs. Our hosting provider may automatically log technical data such as IP address, browser type, pages requested and timestamps for security and operations.
- Email. If you write to us, we receive your email address and message and use them only to respond.
Cookies and advertising (Google AdSense)
We use Google AdSense to show ads. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites.
- 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 personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.
- To learn how Google uses data from sites that use its services, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.
- Google may use the DoubleClick cookie and similar technologies to show ads. Ad delivery can also use web beacons and device identifiers. We do not control these cookies and have no access to them.
If we serve ads to visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, we do so using a consent management platform certified by Google, as required by Google's EU User Consent Policy, so that you can accept or decline cookies used for personalized ads.
Your browser controls
Most browsers let you block or delete cookies. If you do, parts of the site such as ads may behave differently, but the code tables and calculators will still work.
Third-party links
Our pages link to manufacturer and government websites. Those sites have their own privacy policies, and we are not responsible for them.
Children
The site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example in California, Washington State or the European Economic Area), you may have rights to access, correct or delete personal information, or to opt out of its sale or sharing for targeted advertising. We do not sell personal information that we collect. For advertising-related choices, use the Google and industry opt-out links above. For anything we hold, such as an email you sent us, write to us and we will respond.
Changes
We may update this policy. The effective date above shows the latest version.
