Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 27, 2026

This site provides a public reference for country codes, calling codes, and currency standards. While the content is informational, we still take privacy seriously. This policy explains what information may be collected when you use the site, how it is used, and what choices you have. In short: we aim to collect as little personal information as possible, use it only to operate and improve the service, and work with third parties in a transparent way.

Information We Collect

Most visitors can browse the site without creating an account or submitting personal data. However, some information may be collected automatically for operational and analytics purposes. This can include the pages you view, the time spent on those pages, general device characteristics, and approximate location derived from IP addresses. We may also collect limited technical logs to detect abuse, secure the service, and diagnose errors.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies are small text files that help websites remember preferences, understand traffic patterns, and improve user experience. This site may use first-party cookies for essential functionality as well as third-party cookies for analytics and advertising. You can control cookie behavior through your browser settings, including blocking or deleting cookies, though doing so may affect some site features.

Advertising (Google AdSense)

We may display advertising through Google AdSense or similar networks. AdSense may use cookies, including the DART cookie, to serve ads based on your visits to this and other sites. These technologies help show more relevant ads and measure campaign effectiveness. Google provides additional details about how advertising cookies work, including its advertising and cookie policy at policies.google.com/technologies/ads.

You can opt out of many third-party advertising cookies by visiting aboutads.info/choices. If you prefer not to receive personalized ads, you can also adjust settings in your browser and within Google's ad controls.

How We Use Data

We use collected information for a small set of practical purposes:

To operate, secure, and maintain the site.
To understand which content is useful and improve the experience.
To support advertising that keeps the reference available.
To comply with legal requirements and prevent misuse.

Analytics Tracking and Opt-Out

We use lightweight, anonymous visit logging to understand which reference pages are most helpful and to monitor site performance. This includes a session identifier, the path visited, general device information, and country-level location signals when available from hosting providers. IP addresses are truncated before storage to reduce sensitivity.

You can opt out of this analytics tracking at any time using the following links:

Data Storage and Retention

Operational logs and analytics data are typically retained for a limited period that is appropriate to the purpose they serve. We strive to minimize retention windows and store only what is necessary for debugging, performance monitoring, and abuse prevention. When third-party analytics or advertising providers are used, their retention policies may differ and are governed by their own documentation.

Your Choices and Controls

You can control cookies through browser settings, privacy extensions, and device preferences. You can also opt out of many ad targeting networks via aboutads.info. If you contact us directly, we will make reasonable efforts to respond to privacy-related requests and clarify what data, if any, we can access or modify.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in the service, regulatory requirements, or third-party tooling. When significant changes occur, we will update the Last updated date at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after updates indicates acceptance of the revised policy.
