Privacy Policy

Last updated: 7/20/2026

Unmasked Economics (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates unmaskedeconomics.com (the “Site”). This page explains what information we collect when you visit, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described here.

Information We Collect

Information you give us directly. If you sign up for a newsletter, leave a comment, or contact us, we may collect your name, email address, and anything else you choose to share.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we automatically collect some technical information when you visit, including:

• Your IP address (a number that identifies your device on the internet)
• Browser type and device type
• Pages you visit and how long you spend on them
• Referring website (the site you came from, if any)

Cookies. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help websites remember information about your visit. We use cookies, and we allow trusted third parties (described below) to use cookies, for the purposes explained in this policy.

Google AdSense and Advertising

We use Google AdSense to display ads on the Site. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site or other sites on the internet.

• Google’s use of advertising cookies allows it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the internet.
• You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google’s Ads Settings.
• You can also opt out of a third-party vendor’s use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.
• Third-party vendors, including Google, may show our ads on other sites across the internet using cookies from your past visits to this or other websites.

We may also use other analytics tools, such as Google Analytics, which uses cookies to help us understand how visitors use the Site. This data is aggregated and does not personally identify you.

How We Use Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Operate, maintain, and improve the Site
• Understand how visitors use our content, so we can make it more useful
• Serve relevant advertising through Google AdSense
• Respond to your questions or comments if you contact us
• Send newsletters or updates, if you’ve signed up for them

Your Choices

Cookie management. Most browsers let you refuse or delete cookies through their settings. Turning off cookies may affect how some parts of the Site work.

Ad personalization. You can manage or opt out of personalized advertising from Google at adssettings.google.com, and from other participating companies at aboutads.info.

Do Not Track. Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” signal. There’s currently no industry-standard way to respond to these signals, so our Site does not respond to them differently at this time.

Your Rights (California and EU/UK Visitors)

California residents have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), including the right to know what personal information we collect and to request deletion of that information. To make a request, contact us using the information below.

Visitors from the European Economic Area, UK, or Switzerland have rights under the GDPR, including the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data, and the right to object to certain processing (such as ad personalization). Contact us to exercise these rights.

Children’s Privacy

The Site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Third-Party Links

The Site may link to other websites. We aren’t responsible for the privacy practices of those sites, so we encourage you to read their privacy policies separately.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date.
