Privacy Policy

WeldSymbols does not require an account and does not collect personal information directly. Third-party advertising and analytics services may set cookies; this page explains what they do and how to opt out.

This policy explains what happens to information when you visit weldsymbols.org. It was last updated on 19 September 2026.

Information we collect directly

None. This site has no accounts, no login, no newsletter signup and no contact form. We do not ask for your name, email address or any other personal information. If you choose to email us, we receive whatever you put in that email and use it only to reply.

Server logs

Like most websites, the hosting provider records standard request information such as IP address, browser type, referring page and the time of the request. These logs are used for security and to diagnose technical problems, and they are not used to build profiles of individual visitors.

Advertising

This site displays advertising through Google AdSense. Google and its partners 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 visit to this site and other sites on the internet.

  • You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings at adssettings.google.com.
  • You can opt out of third-party vendor cookies for personalised advertising at aboutads.info/choices.
  • Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website.

Some pages may contain affiliate links, including links to Amazon through the Amazon Associates programme. If you follow such a link and make a purchase, this site may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. Affiliate links do not influence which electrodes, processes or products are described or recommended; the technical content is written independently of any commercial relationship.

Analytics

This site uses Google Analytics to understand which pages are read and how visitors arrive. Google Analytics sets its own cookies and receives standard request information including IP address, browser type and referring page. The data is used in aggregate to decide what to write next; it is not used to identify individual visitors. You can opt out across all sites using the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Cookies you can control

Every modern browser lets you block or delete cookies, and most offer a setting to block third-party cookies specifically. Blocking cookies will not prevent you from reading anything on this site — there is no content behind a login or a paywall.

Children

This site is a technical reference aimed at welders, fabricators, students and engineers. It is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect information from them.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new date at the top.
