Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 2026

HackingNote ("we", "our", or "the site") is committed to respecting and protecting the privacy of our visitors. This Privacy Policy outlines what information is collected when you visit HackingNote, how it is used, and the choices available to you regarding cookies and third-party services.

Overview

HackingNote is a static, educational reference site and technical knowledge base for software engineers. We do not require account registration, do not run user databases, and do not directly collect, store, or sell personal identifiers such as names, phone numbers, physical addresses, or financial payment details.

However, like most websites, third-party services integrated into HackingNote (such as analytics, ad delivery, and affiliate programs) may use standard internet technologies, including cookies and log files, to provide their functionality.

Information Collected Automatically

When you browse HackingNote, our hosting infrastructure and Content Delivery Network (CDN) automatically receive and record basic, non-identifying technical data in standard server access logs:

  • Your Internet Protocol (IP) address
  • Browser type, language, and operating system
  • Referring URL and exit pages
  • Date, time, and duration of page requests

This technical data is collected strictly for security analysis, defending against automated denial-of-service (DoS) attacks, diagnosing routing issues, and ensuring fast global content delivery.

Cookies and Third-Party Services

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser. While HackingNote does not set first-party tracking cookies directly, third-party partners and service providers on our site may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies:

1. Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors engage with our technical notes, documentation, and engineering tools. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect anonymous, aggregated traffic statistics, such as page views, visitor country/region, device types, and bounce rates.

2. Google AdSense

HackingNote displays advertising served by Google AdSense to help support the ongoing hosting and production of free engineering content.

  • Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies (including the DoubleClick cookie) to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites across the Internet.
  • Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.
  • You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ad Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of third-party vendor cookies for personalized advertising by visiting AboutAds or the Network Advertising Initiative.

3. Amazon Associates Program

HackingNote is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.

  • Disclosure: As an Amazon Associate, HackingNote earns from qualifying purchases.
  • When you click on an Amazon link on HackingNote (identifiable by a tag=xstore0b-20 parameter or clear visual labels such as Sponsored or View on Amazon), Amazon may place a cookie on your browser to track qualifying purchases.
  • This referral mechanism operates entirely at no additional cost to you. Product pricing, promotions, and shipping fees remain identical whether you use our link or navigate directly to Amazon.

External Links

HackingNote contains curated hyperlinks to third-party websites, including official operating system documentation, RFC specifications, GitHub repositories, and vendor documentation. We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party websites or services. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any external site you visit.

Your Privacy Rights and Cookie Controls

Most modern web browsers allow you to manage and control cookie settings according to your personal preferences. You can configure your browser to reject cookies, prompt you before accepting cookies, or delete existing cookies at any time. Please note that disabling cookies may affect certain interactive web utilities or third-party features.

If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, or California, you are entitled to specific data privacy rights under regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). Because HackingNote does not collect, retain, or process identifiable user records, we do not have personal data to inspect, export, or delete. Any data managed by Google or Amazon is subject to their respective privacy controls and opt-out mechanisms referenced above.

Changes to this Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our site structure, integrations, or applicable legal requirements. Any modifications will be posted directly on this page with an updated revision date at the top.
