Information processed
Hobby Portal does not currently provide visitor accounts, comments, purchases, or a contact form. Website hosting and security infrastructure may process technical request information such as an IP address, browser type, requested page, referring page, and request time. This information is used to deliver the site, maintain security, and diagnose faults.
With permission, Hobby Portal uses Google Analytics to understand aggregate visits and which hobby guides are useful. Google may then process pages viewed, referring pages, approximate location, browser and device characteristics, and interaction timing. Advertising storage, advertising user data, advertising personalisation, and Google Signals are disabled in the site configuration.
Analytics consent
For visitors detected in the European Economic Area, Switzerland, or the United Kingdom, Google Analytics is blocked until the visitor accepts analytics. Visitors can reject analytics and continue using the complete website. If regional detection fails, analytics remains blocked and the privacy choice is shown.
The regional check requests Cloudflare's same-origin diagnostic endpoint and reads its two-letter country result. Hobby Portal does not store that result. Cloudflare already handles site requests as the delivery and security provider.
If analytics is accepted or otherwise enabled, Google Analytics may set first-party cookies such as _ga and _ga_*. The site stores the analytics choice, consent-policy version, and time saved in local browser storage for up to 180 days.
Sharing and retention
Technical information may be handled by Cloudflare where necessary to host, secure, and deliver the website. When analytics is enabled, analytics information is sent to Google. These providers may process information internationally under their applicable data-protection terms and transfer safeguards. Retention is governed by operational needs and the relevant provider and analytics-property settings. Hobby Portal does not sell personal information.
For more information, read the Google Privacy Policy and Cloudflare Privacy Policy.
Your choices
The Privacy settings control in every page footer reopens the analytics choice. Rejecting after analytics was enabled changes the consent state, removes accessible Google Analytics cookies, and reloads the page without loading Google Analytics.
You can also use browser controls to limit cookies and clear locally stored website data. Depending on where you live, privacy rights may include access, correction, deletion, restriction, or objection where personal information is held.
