Chinese Slang Explained does not require an account and does not ask visitors for personal information.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site (pages viewed, approximate location, device type). Google Analytics uses cookies to collect this information. See how Google uses information from sites that use its services.

Advertising

We use Google AdSense to show ads. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.

You can opt out of personalized advertising in Google Ads Settings, or opt out of some third-party vendors' cookies at aboutads.info.

View counts and feedback

We count page views and “helpful” clicks to show which terms are popular. Counts are stored as daily totals per page; to avoid double-counting we use a hash of your IP address and browser that changes every day and is never stored with the counts. If you send feedback, we store your message and, only if you provide it, your email address, so editors can follow up.

Server logs

Like most websites, our server keeps standard access logs (IP address, browser, requested page) for security and troubleshooting. They are not used to identify individuals.
