Effective Date: August 6, 2026
Welcome to StackStroke (“we,” “our,” “us”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit https://stackstroke.com/ (the “Site”). By using the Site, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
1. Information We Collect
a) Information You Provide Directly
When you use our contact form, we collect the information you submit — typically your name, email address, and message content. We use this only to respond to your inquiry.
b) Information Collected Automatically
When you visit the Site, certain information is collected automatically, including:
- IP address
- Browser type and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages visited, time spent on pages, and referring URLs
- Date and time of visit
c) Cookies and Similar Tracking Technologies
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies (such as web beacons and pixels) to operate the Site, understand how it’s used, and serve relevant advertising. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings, though some parts of the Site may not function properly without them.
We also use the LiteSpeed Cache plugin to improve page loading speed. This plugin may set functional cookies (for example, to serve the correct cached version of a page to logged-in users versus guests). These cookies are used for performance purposes only and do not track your activity across other websites.
This Site uses Cloudflare as a reverse proxy and content delivery network (CDN). As your traffic passes through Cloudflare’s network, Cloudflare may set cookies (such as __cf_bm and cf_clearance) to distinguish real visitors from bots and to protect the Site from malicious traffic. Cloudflare may also process your IP address as part of routing and securing your connection to the Site. More information is available in the Cloudflare Privacy Policy.
2. Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with the Site — for example, which pages are popular and how visitors navigate the content. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect this information, which may include your IP address (subject to Google’s data practices).
- Google’s use of data is governed by the Google Privacy Policy.
- You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
3. Google AdSense & Advertising
This Site displays advertisements served by Google AdSense. As part of this:
- Google and its partners use cookies (including the DoubleClick cookie) to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.
- Third-party vendors, including Google, may use these cookies to serve ads based on your interests.
- You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
- You can also opt out of some third-party vendor use of cookies at www.aboutads.info.
- More detail on how Google uses data from partner sites is available at How Google uses information from sites that use our services.
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or UK, ads may only be personalized based on your consent, collected via a consent banner on the Site.
4. Affiliate Disclosure
StackStroke participates in affiliate marketing programs. This means we may earn a commission when you click certain links and make a purchase, at no additional cost to you. This includes, but is not limited to, affiliate programs for:
- Web hosting providers (e.g., Kinsta, WP Engine, SiteGround, Cloudways, Hostinger, Bluehost)
- WordPress plugins and themes (e.g., Elementor, WP Rocket, RankMath)
- Cloud and learning platforms
As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
Our editorial opinions and recommendations are our own and are not influenced by affiliate partnerships.
5. How We Use Your Information

- Respond to messages submitted through our contact form
- Analyze and improve Site content and performance (via Google Analytics)
- Display relevant advertising (via Google AdSense)
- Maintain the security and proper functioning of the Site
6. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with:
- Service providers who help operate the Site (e.g., Google Analytics, Google AdSense, Cloudflare, our hosting provider)
- Affiliate networks, only in aggregate/non-identifying form (e.g., click tracking via affiliate links)
- Legal authorities, if required by law or to protect our rights
7. Data Retention
We retain contact form submissions and analytics data only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law.
