This page explains what information masonhu.org (the “Site”) processes when you visit, and what it is used for. The Site is run by Mason Hu. Contact: blog@masonhu.org .
Logs and analytics
The Site is hosted on Cloudflare. To provide hosting and security, Cloudflare processes your IP address and browser information, and may set cookies used for security checks.
The Site uses Google Analytics to measure traffic. Google Analytics sets cookies and collects device and page-view data, which is aggregated into statistics such as page views and audience composition. These statistics do not identify individual visitors, and the author cannot use them to work out who a particular visitor is.
Advertising and cookies
The Site displays ads through Google AdSense. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies — including the DoubleClick cookie — to serve ads based on your visits to this Site and other sites.
You can opt out of personalized advertising in Google Ads Settings . For how Google uses data from partner sites, see Google’s explanation . If you disable cookies, ads will still appear; they just will not be matched to your interests.
Embedded content and external links
Posts may embed YouTube videos, and podcast audio is streamed from the Site’s own cloud storage. The Site also links to podcast platforms such as Xiaoyuzhou and Apple Podcasts. When you play an embedded video or follow a link to those platforms, your data is handled under their own privacy policies, which the Site does not control.
What the Site does not collect
The Site offers no account registration and has no comment system. It does not ask for your name or phone number. If you email the author, your message is used only to reply to you. It is never sold or handed to third parties.
Your choices
You can disable or delete cookies in your browser settings. Doing so affects analytics and ad personalization, but reading the Site works as usual.
