Privacy policy
Last updated: September 12, 2026
This policy explains what information Strategy Lab ("we", the "site", operated by Spectrum Media Labs) collects when you visit https://strategylab.online, how it is used, and the choices you have.
Information we collect
- Contact form. If you write to us, we store the name, email address and message you submit, plus the time and IP address of the submission, to answer you and to prevent abuse.
- Server logs. Like most websites, our servers record standard technical data such as IP address, browser type, referring page, pages requested and timestamps. Logs are used for security and to keep the site running and are deleted on a rolling basis.
- Cookies and similar technologies set by us or by third-party advertising and analytics partners, described below.
We do not require accounts and do not ask for payment information.
Cookies and advertising
The site is funded by advertising served through Google AdSense. Google and its partners use cookies (including the DoubleClick cookie) and similar identifiers to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites, to measure ad performance and to prevent fraud.
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
- You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, and you can opt out of some third-party vendors' cookies at aboutads.info.
Where required by law (for example for visitors from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland), a consent message is shown before personalized advertising cookies are set, and you can change your choice at any time from that message. How Google uses data from sites that use its services is described at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
We may also use privacy-respecting, aggregate analytics to understand which articles are read. Such data is not used to identify you.
How we use information
- To operate, secure and improve the site and its content.
- To answer messages you send us.
- To display advertising that funds the site.
- To comply with legal obligations.
Sharing
We do not sell personal information. Data is shared only with service providers that host the site or serve advertising (for example Google), and with authorities where the law requires it.
Retention
Contact messages are kept as long as needed to handle your request and for a reasonable period afterwards. Server logs are rotated automatically. Cookie lifetimes are controlled by the party that sets them.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct or delete personal data we hold about you, to object to or restrict its processing, and to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. To exercise these rights, contact us at editor@strategylab.online.
Children
The site is intended for adults and business professionals. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16.
Changes
We may update this policy; the date at the top shows the latest revision. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
