Privacy policy
This policy explains what data StateWages collects and what happens to it. It applies to statewages.com only.
What is collected
- Server and analytics data. Pages viewed, referring domain, approximate location from IP address, browser and operating system, screen size, and time on page. This is aggregate and is not tied to a name.
- Cookies. A small number of first-party cookies for analytics and for the advertising partner to measure the session. No login cookie, because there are no accounts.
- What you send us. If you email, we hold the message and your address for as long as it takes to reply and no longer unless there is a reason.
Advertising
Advertising is served through a third-party partner, currently the Mediavine network and its programmatic demand partners. Those partners may set cookies or similar identifiers to limit repetition, measure performance, and where permitted serve personalised ads based on interests or prior browsing across sites. They act as independent controllers of that data and their own policies apply.
Personalised ads and opting out
Personalised advertising can be turned off in three ways: through the consent or preferences control in the ad unit or the site footer where one is present, through your browser's cookie settings, or through the industry opt-out tools that the advertising partner publishes. Blocking cookies does not stop ads, it only makes them less relevant.
Choices and rights
- Browser controls. Blocking third-party cookies reduces almost all cross-site tracking on this site without breaking any page.
- Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control. Where a GPC signal is sent, the advertising partner is instructed to treat it as an opt-out of sale or sharing to the extent its platform supports it.
- State privacy laws. Residents of states with a consumer privacy statute may request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal data, and may opt out of targeted advertising. Because there are no accounts, requests are handled by email.
Retention and transfers
Analytics data is kept in aggregate. Advertising data retention is set by the partner. Data may be processed outside your state or country, and partners are bound by their own contractual terms on transfers.
Children
The site is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect personal data from them.
Changes and contact
Any change to this policy is reflected in the last verified date on the page. Questions and requests go to hello@statewages.com.
