Privacy Policy

Last updated: 3 October 2026

Information we collect

Server and security logs. The site is served through Cloudflare. Cloudflare records standard request data (IP address, user agent, requested URL, referrer, time) to deliver the site and protect it from abuse. This data is retained by Cloudflare according to its own privacy policy and is not used by us to identify individual visitors.

Analytics. We use Google Analytics 4 to understand which pages are visited and how visitors find the site. Google Analytics sets cookies and collects data such as pages viewed, approximate location derived from IP address, device and browser type. IP addresses are not stored by Google Analytics 4. You can opt out with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

Usage analytics (Microsoft Clarity). We use Microsoft Clarity to see how visitors use the site through behavioural metrics, heatmaps and session replay, so we can improve pages and fix problems. Clarity sets cookies and collects usage data such as clicks, scrolling and the pages you view; text you type is masked. This data is processed by Microsoft as described in the Microsoft Privacy Statement.

Advertising. The site may display advertisements served by Google AdSense. Google and its partners use cookies, including the DoubleClick cookie, to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites and to measure ad performance. You can opt out of personalised advertising at Google Ads Settings or at aboutads.info. Google's use of advertising cookies is described in the Google advertising policies.

Fonts. The site logo uses web fonts served by Google Fonts. Your browser requests the font files from Google servers, which receive your IP address and browser details as part of that request; Google states that it does not use this data for advertising.

Email. If you contact us, we keep your email address and message for as long as needed to answer and to keep a record of removal requests. We do not add contact addresses to any mailing list.

Download feedback. Under the download buttons you can answer whether the download worked and, if not, pick a reason. We store your answer, the reason, the time and the same salted one-way hash of your IP address and browser user agent, so that each visitor has one answer per project that they can change. Answers are used only to find broken or no-longer-free links, and only totals are shown on the site.

Comments. Project pages have an optional comment section with no user accounts. When you post, we store the name you choose, your comment, the time, and the password you set for editing or deleting it, as a salted one-way hash (we cannot read the password). We also store a salted one-way hash of your IP address, and of your IP address with your browser's user agent, to limit posting speed and to count one like or dislike per visitor; the hashes are not used to identify you and are not shared. New comments go through Cloudflare Turnstile, a bot check that processes browser and device signals as described in the Turnstile privacy addendum. Comments and their data are stored in Cloudflare's database service and are kept until you delete them with your password or they are removed for breaking the comment rules in our terms; rate-limit records are deleted after two days. Do not post personal information in a comment; to have a comment removed, write to us with the page address. The site stores the name you last used in your browser's local storage so you do not have to type it again.

The site has no user accounts or other forms that ask for personal details.

Cookies

Consent in Europe. For visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity run without analytics cookies until you agree (Google Consent Mode and Clarity's consent setting are "denied" by default). You are asked once with Accept and Reject buttons; your choice is kept in your browser for six months and you can change it at any time with "Cookie settings" at the bottom of every page. We do not use advertising cookies based on this choice.

Cookies on this site come from Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity and, where ads are shown, Google AdSense and its advertising partners. The site itself stores only technical preferences (for example a selected filter, or the name you last used for a comment) in your browser's local storage; these never leave your device, and the comment bot check does not set tracking cookies. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings; the site remains usable without them.

How information is used

We use aggregated analytics to see which software and topics are most useful, to fix broken pages, and to keep the site secure. We do not sell personal information and do not share it except with the service providers named above, or when required by law.

Third-party links

Every entry links to an external website where the project file is offered. Those sites have their own privacy policies and cookies, which we do not control.

Your rights

Depending on where you live (including the EU/EEA, the UK, California and South Korea), you may have the right to access, correct or delete personal information we hold about you, or to object to its processing. Because the site itself stores almost no personal data, most requests concern the analytics and advertising providers listed above; we will help you direct them. Contact [email protected] for any privacy request.

Children

The site is not directed at children under 13 (or the age required in your country) and we do not knowingly collect information from them.

Changes

We may update this policy as the site changes, for example when advertising is enabled. The date at the top shows the current version.
