Privacy Policy

This page explains what MathLopedia collects, what stays on your device, and how advertising and third-party services may use cookies. The site does not ask you to create an account.

Last updated: 23 September 2026.

Who we are

MathLopedia is a static site of solved math problems for students. It is operated by the person described on the About page. This policy applies to the MathLopedia website and to practice tests created on it.

What we collect

We do not run user accounts, newsletters, or checkout. We do not ask for your name, email, or payment details on this site.

When you visit, the hosting provider (currently Vercel) may record standard server logs. Those logs can include your IP address, browser type, the page you requested, the time of the request, and a referrer. We use this only to keep the site running and to debug problems. We do not sell it.

Data stored on your device

The site uses your browser’s local storage so the page remembers a few choices. This data stays on your device. We do not send it to a MathLopedia server.

  • Theme. Light or dark mode (mathlopedia-theme).
  • Topic lists. How many problems to show per page (mathlopedia-page-size).
  • Practice tests. Which questions you marked attempted and whether you finished a set (mathlopedia-test:…).

You can clear this by deleting site data in your browser settings. The site will work again with the default theme and a new test.

Cookies

MathLopedia itself does not set advertising cookies. Third parties we load, or that may serve ads, can set cookies or similar identifiers on your device.

Cookies may be used to remember a preference, measure whether an ad was shown, or - if personalized ads are on - to show ads that are more relevant. You can block or delete cookies in your browser. Some features, including ads, may not work as intended if you do.

Advertising

We may show ads served by Google AdSense. Google and its partners may use cookies, device information, and how you use this site and other sites to:

  • serve and measure ads
  • limit how often you see the same ad
  • personalize ads if that is allowed in your region and in your settings

Google’s use of this data is described in the Google Advertising Technologies page and the Google Privacy Policy.

You can opt out of personalized Google ads at adssettings.google.com. You can also visit youronlinechoices.com (Europe) or optout.aboutads.info (US).

If you are in the European Economic Area, the UK, or another region that requires consent, we will use a consent message before non-essential advertising cookies are set, once ads are live.

Other third-party services

Pages may load files from these providers. They can see your IP address and the page you are on when the file is requested:

  • Google Fonts - typefaces.
  • MathJax (cdnjs / Cloudflare) - rendering of mathematical notation on problem and test pages.
  • Vercel - hosting, delivery of the site, and standard request logs.
  • Vercel Web Analytics - aggregated page views. This does not use cookies and does not store IP addresses.

Each provider has its own privacy policy. We do not control how they process data once the request leaves this site.

How we use information

Any information described above is used only to:

  • show the pages you asked for
  • remember theme, list size, and test progress on your device
  • keep the site secure and available
  • show ads, if ads are enabled
  • understand, in aggregate, that the site is being used

We do not sell your personal information. We do not use it for a mailing list.

Sharing

We share information only with the hosting, font, math-rendering, and advertising providers named above, and only as needed to run the site. We may also disclose information if the law requires it, or to protect the site and its visitors from abuse.

How long data is kept

Local storage stays on your device until you clear it. Hosting logs are kept only as long as the host keeps them for security and operations. We do not keep a separate MathLopedia user database.

Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to ask what personal data is held about you, to correct it, to delete it, or to object to certain processing. Because this site does not keep accounts, there is usually little or nothing stored on our side beyond hosting logs.

You can:

  • clear cookies and local storage in your browser
  • use a tracker blocker or private browsing window
  • opt out of personalized Google ads at the links above
  • contact us with a privacy request using the details below

If we cannot fulfill a request because we do not hold the data, we will say so.

Children

MathLopedia is written for college-level mathematics. It is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information through this site, contact us and we will delete anything we can reach.

Visitors outside the country where the site is hosted

The site is hosted on servers that may be in the United States or other countries. If you visit from elsewhere, your information may be processed in a country with different data-protection rules than your own. By using the site you understand that this transfer can happen as part of ordinary hosting and advertising.

Links to other sites

Some pages link to other websites, including Google policy pages. Those sites have their own privacy practices. This policy does not cover them.

Changes

We may update this policy when the site, hosting, or advertising setup changes. The “Last updated” date at the top will change. The current version will always be at this page.
