Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, basic technical data may be collected automatically when you visit, including:
- Your IP address (anonymized where possible)
- Browser type and version
- Pages visited and time spent on site
- Referring website (how you found us)
This data is collected through standard web analytics and is used only to understand overall traffic patterns and improve the site. It is not linked to any personal identity.
Google AdSense & Advertising

Cookies
CharWise itself does not set any first-party cookies. However, Google AdSense and any analytics tools we use may set cookies on your device. You can control cookies through your browser settings.
