This Privacy Policy explains what information HowToUnzip.com collects when you visit the site, how it’s used, and your choices.
Last updated: April 2026.
Information we collect
HowToUnzip.com does not require you to create an account. We do not directly collect personal information like your name, email address, or phone number unless you voluntarily send it to us via our contact page.
However, when you visit the site, certain information is automatically collected:
- Standard server logs: IP address, user agent, referring URL, pages visited, and timestamps. This is standard web-server behavior and helps us identify abuse.
- Cookies: Small text files stored by your browser. We use them to remember your theme preference (light/dark) and for analytics and advertising (see below).
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use the site. Google Analytics collects information such as pages viewed, device type, approximate geographic location (country/region), and referrer.
We have enabled IP anonymization, so your full IP address is not stored by Google Analytics. For more information, see Google’s Privacy Policy.
You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Advertising and future partners
We may display advertising or use affiliate partnerships in the future. When we do, we aim to disclose that clearly and update this page to reflect the services in use, the data they may collect, and any choices available to you.
You can:
- Opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google’s Ad Settings.
- Opt out of third-party vendor use of cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info (US), youronlinechoices.eu (EU), or youradchoices.ca (Canada).
Affiliate links
Some outbound links on this site are affiliate links, meaning we may earn a commission if you click through and make a purchase. Affiliate partners (such as WinZip) may use cookies to track your visit. These links are clearly marked with rel="sponsored". Affiliate commissions have no influence on our editorial recommendations — we recommend free tools first and only mention paid options when they offer distinct benefits.
