Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 12, 2026

How to Home Brew Beer ("we," "us," or "this site") respects your privacy. This site is a free informational guide about homebrewing. It has no user accounts, no login, no forum, and no contact form, so there is nothing here for you to sign up for and no personal information we collect from you directly. This policy explains the limited data that is gathered automatically and how it's used.

Information we collect

We do not ask for or store your name, email address, or any personal details. The only data gathered is anonymous, aggregate usage information collected through Google Analytics — for example, how many people visited a page, which pages are most popular, the general region a visit came from, and the type of device and browser used. This information is statistical and is not used to personally identify you.

Cookies & analytics

Google Analytics sets cookies in your browser to measure site usage and help us understand what's working and what to improve. You can block or delete cookies at any time in your browser settings, and you can opt out of Google Analytics across all sites using Google's official opt-out browser add-on. Google's handling of analytics data is governed by its own privacy policy.

Affiliate links & advertising

Some pages contain affiliate links, including links through the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases. If you click one of these links and make a purchase, we may receive a small commission at no additional cost to you. Affiliate partners such as Amazon may use cookies to track that a visit or purchase originated from this site; their use of that data is governed by their own privacy policies. We only recommend products we believe are genuinely useful, and commissions do not influence our recommendations.

Advertising

We may display ads served by Google, including through the Google AdSense program. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the internet. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info. For more information on how Google uses data when you use our partners' sites or apps, see Google's policy.

Third-party links

This site links to other websites, such as suppliers, forums, and reference material. Once you follow a link off this site, the privacy practices of that destination — not ours — apply. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any site you visit.

Your choices & rights

Because we don't collect personal information directly, there's no personal account data for us to change or delete. You can control analytics and advertising cookies through your browser settings and the opt-out tools linked above. If you have questions about your data, you can reach us at hello@howtohomebrewbeer.com.

Children

This site concerns brewing alcoholic beverages and is intended for adults of legal drinking age. It is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone under the age of 18.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we'll revise the "last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after any change constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
