Privacy Policy

1. Information That May Be Collected

WidgetExamples does not collect personal identifiers like your name, physical address, or phone number through registration forms, because no user account or login system exists on this site.

When you browse the website, standard technical request information may be processed by our edge infrastructure:

• Network metadata: Internet Protocol (IP) address, requested URL path, date and time of request, HTTP status code, and bytes transferred.
• Device & browser data: Browser user-agent string, operating system version, and screen parameters necessary for rendering web standards.
• Referral information: The referring URL from which you navigated to our site.

This technical information is used strictly to deliver pages, maintain site security, mitigate malicious attacks (such as DDoS threats), and monitor server health.

2. Local Browser Storage Technologies

To provide a seamless developer experience without requiring server-side databases, WidgetExamples utilizes your browser's built-in local storage APIs:

• IndexedDB: Locally stores your custom widget schema drafts, snapshot history, and offline workspace state so your work persists between visits.
• localStorage: Remembers your interface preferences, including dark/light theme (widgetexamples_theme), sidebar navigation rail state (we_nav_rail_expanded), and reduced animation preference (widgetexamples_calm).

This data resides exclusively on your local device and is never transmitted to our servers or third parties. You can delete this data at any time via your browser's "Clear Site Data" or "Clear Storage" options.

3. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device to retain user settings and support website features. WidgetExamples may use cookies or similar browser technologies for:

• Essential site functionality: Preserving your theme and layout settings across page navigations.
• Consent management: Remembering your privacy and cookie choices when a Consent Management Platform (CMP) is displayed.
• Advertising services: When advertising is active, third-party advertising networks place and read cookies to serve, measure, and protect ad units.

4. Google AdSense & Third-Party Advertising Disclosures

To maintain free access to our Flutter tutorials, fix guides, and developer utilities, WidgetExamples prepares for and supports third-party advertising through Google AdSense.

When Google AdSense is active on this site:

• Google and other third-party vendors may use cookies, web beacons, IP addresses, device identifiers, and similar technologies to serve advertisements based on your prior visits to this website or other sites on the Internet.
• Third parties may place and read cookies in your browser or use web beacons to collect information as a consequence of ad serving on WidgetExamples.
• Advertising may be personalized where legally permitted and where required user consent has been obtained through an authorized consent framework. Where personalized advertising is not consented to or not permitted, non-personalized or contextual ads may be served.
• Ad units are restricted to informational and tutorial pages and are strictly excluded from interactive preview sandboxes, code editors, and error screens.

Managing Advertising Preferences & Opt-Outs

You have multiple options to manage or opt out of personalized advertising:

• Google Ads Settings: You can customize or opt out of personalized ads from Google by visiting Google Ads Settings.
• Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA): You can opt out of collection by participating third-party ad networks at aboutads.info/choices.
• European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance (EDAA): Users in Europe can manage ad preferences at Your Online Choices.
• Browser Controls: You can configure your browser to reject third-party cookies or notify you whenever a cookie is set.

5. Analytics Status

WidgetExamples does not currently load third-party analytics services (such as Google Analytics). Should an analytics service be introduced in the future to understand aggregated site usage, this policy will be updated with details regarding providers and user controls.

6. Third-Party Services

We rely on select third-party service providers to deliver and operate the website:

• Cloudflare: Provides global Content Delivery Network (CDN) caching, edge serving, DNS resolution, and DDoS security protection.
• Google Search Console: Used for monitoring website health, indexing status, and search query performance.
• Google AdSense: Prospective advertising partner for serving display ads across editorial pages.

7. Data Retention

Network metadata and server logs collected by edge hosting infrastructure are retained for limited operational windows to ensure security, prevent fraud, and diagnose technical errors. Client-side data stored in your browser (IndexedDB and localStorage) remains on your local device until you manually clear it or until browser storage eviction policies apply.

8. User Choices and Rights

Regardless of your physical location, you can:

• Clear local storage, cache, and cookies directly through your web browser preferences at any time.
• Adjust ad personalization preferences using the opt-out links listed above.
• Configure your browser to block third-party cookies or send "Do Not Track" signals.
• Reach out directly via email with any questions or concerns regarding privacy practices on this website.

9. Children's Privacy

WidgetExamples is a technical educational platform designed for software developers, students, and engineers aged 13 and older. The site is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly solicit or collect personal information from children.
