Privacy Policy
China Starter Guide is a public travel information website. This policy explains what information may be collected when you use the site, including cookies, advertising, search, and email contact.
Information you provide
If you email us, we may receive your email address and any information you choose to include in your message. We use that information only to read, respond to, and manage your request, feedback, correction, or collaboration inquiry.
Cookies and advertising
This site may use Google AdSense to show ads. Google and its partners may use cookies or similar technologies to serve ads, limit repeated ads, measure ad performance, and personalize ads where allowed by law and your consent choices.
- You can learn how Google uses information from sites and apps at Google's partner sites policy.
- You can manage Google ad personalization at My Ad Center.
- You can also control or block cookies through your browser settings, though parts of the site or third-party services may behave differently.
Consent choices
For visitors in regions where consent is required, including the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, advertising and related cookies may be subject to a consent message or consent management platform. Your choices may affect whether ads are personalized.
Search and technical data
The site's search experience is powered by a static local search index generated at build time. Search queries are handled in your browser and are not intentionally sent to China Starter Guide. Like most websites, hosting providers and browser infrastructure may process basic technical information such as IP address, browser type, requested URL, referrer, and timestamps for security, delivery, and reliability.
Third-party links
China Starter Guide links to external websites and services for verification, reference, and convenience. Those sites are controlled by third parties and have their own privacy practices.
Updates
We may update this policy as the website, advertising setup, or legal requirements change. The effective date above will be updated when meaningful changes are made.
