Privacy policy

Last updated November 14, 2026

HowCompass is designed to collect as little as possible. This page explains what we store and why.

Information we collect

  • **Server logs.** Our web server records standard request data such as IP address, browser type, and requested pages for security and reliability. Logs are rotated regularly.
  • **Cookies.** We use a single session cookie for the administrator sign-in area. Public readers do not need an account and are not tracked across sites.
  • **Messages you send us.** If you email us, we keep your message so we can reply and improve our guides.

What we do not do

  • We do not sell personal data.
  • We do not run third-party advertising trackers on public pages.
  • We do not require an account to read a guide.

Guides may link to external resources. Those sites have their own privacy practices, which we do not control.

Your choices

You can block or delete cookies in your browser. Doing so will not affect public browsing; it only prevents signing in to the admin area.
