Privacy policy
Chesspert is a static content site. We don't have accounts, comments, or newsletters, and our quizzes run entirely in your browser — your answers are never sent to us or stored anywhere. We don't collect personal information about you ourselves. Some of the third parties below do, and this page explains who they are and what choices you have.
Cookies and similar technologies
We set no cookies of our own. Cookies and similar identifiers on this site come from third parties: Google, for advertising and analytics, and the retailers you reach through our affiliate links. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time; the site will keep working normally.
Advertising
We use Google AdSense to show ads on some pages. Google and its partners use cookies and device identifiers to serve ads, measure how they perform, and — where permitted — personalise what you see based on your prior visits to this and other websites. We never give Google your name, email, or any other identifying detail, because we don't hold any.
You can review how Google uses information from sites that use its services, and turn personalised advertising off entirely in Google My Ad Center. Turning it off doesn't remove ads — it just makes them less relevant.
If you're in the EU, UK, or Switzerland
Before any advertising or analytics cookies are set, we ask for your consent through a Google-certified consent management platform, in line with the EU user consent policy and the GDPR. You can decline, and you can change your mind later — reopen the consent options from the link in the banner, or clear this site's cookies in your browser to be asked again. Declining does not restrict any part of the site. Europe-wide opt-out tools are also available at Your Online Choices.
Affiliate links
We participate in affiliate programs, including the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. When you click an affiliate link, the retailer sets cookies on their site to attribute the visit to us; their privacy policies govern that data. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases. More detail is in how we review.
Analytics
We use two analytics tools, and neither tells us who you are. Ahrefs Web Analytics is cookieless and never tracks individuals across sites. Google Analytics 4 does use cookies to recognise returning visits and to show us which guides people actually find useful; it runs with IP addresses anonymised and with Google Signals and ad personalisation switched off.
In the regions listed above, Google Analytics stores nothing until you consent — the same banner controls it. If you decline, Ahrefs Web Analytics still records the page view, because it needs no cookies to do so. We don't sell or share personal data.
Children
Some of our guides help parents teach children chess, but the site is written for adults and isn't directed at children. We don't knowingly collect information from anyone under 16.
