Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains what information CollegeAthleteInsider.com ("we," "us," or "the site") collects when you visit, and how it is used. By using the site, you agree to the practices described here.

Information we collect

We do not require you to create an account, and we do not ask you to submit personal information to read articles. If you email us, we receive the information you choose to send (such as your name and email address) and use it only to respond.

Like most websites, our hosting provider and the services below may automatically collect standard technical information — such as your IP address, browser type, device, referring page, and pages viewed — through cookies and similar technologies.

Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use them for two purposes: a first-party preference cookie (and your browser's local storage) to remember your light/dark theme choice, and third-party cookies set by our advertising and analytics partners, described below. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings; the site will still work, and your theme choice will simply reset.

Advertising and Google AdSense

We may display ads served by Google AdSense and its partners. To do this, these third parties may use cookies and device identifiers.

• 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 visit to this site and/or other sites on the internet.
• You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info/choices.
• Where required, we (and our ad partners) request consent for ad personalization. If you decline, you may still see non-personalized ads.

We do not control the cookies set by advertising partners. Please review Google's privacy and terms for details on how they use data.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand, in aggregate, which articles are read and how the site performs. Google Analytics sets cookies and collects information such as your IP address, device and browser type, and the pages you visit; we use it to improve the site, not to identify you personally. You can learn more in Google's privacy policy and opt out site-wide with the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. Where cookies are used, the cookie controls above also apply.

Children's privacy

This site is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Consistent with our editorial policy, we do not profile individual high-school recruits.

Your choices and rights

You can control cookies through your browser, opt out of personalized ads via the links above, and contact us to ask what information we hold from any correspondence with you. Depending on where you live (for example, under the GDPR or CCPA/CPRA), you may have additional rights to access or delete personal data; email us to make a request.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the site, the law, or our partners change. We'll revise the "last updated" date above when we do.
