Last updated: 26 July 2026. This policy is maintained by Oracle Answers and describes how the website handles your information. It applies to all pages under oracleanswers.co.za.
What we collect
Oracle Answers is a small, playful website. To keep it working and improve it over time, we may collect the following:
- Basic analytics — anonymous, aggregated information such as pages visited, referring site, approximate country, browser and device type. This helps us understand which rituals people enjoy and where we can improve.
- Cookies and local storage — small pieces of data stored in your browser to remember preferences (like your saved signs or the last ritual you consulted), to keep the visitor counter honest, and to power analytics. You can clear these at any time from your browser settings.
- Contact form submissions — if you use the contact form or email us, we receive your name, email address and message. We only use this to reply to you.
- Advertising data — Oracle Answers uses Google AdSense. Google and its advertising partners may use cookies or similar technologies to deliver, limit and measure advertisements. Depending on your location and consent choices, ads may be personalised or non-personalised.
What we do not collect
We do not ask for or store your date of birth, government ID, physical address, payment details, or any of the questions you type into the oracles. Your questions stay in your browser — they are never sent to our server.
Third-party services
We may use trusted third parties to host the site, deliver fonts, and measure traffic. These providers process technical information (like your IP address) as part of delivering the service, under their own privacy policies.
Google may use advertising cookies to show ads based on a visitor's prior visits to this or other websites. You can learn how Google uses information from sites that use its services and manage your advertising choices through Google's partner-sites information and My Ad Center.
Your choices
- You can browse Oracle Answers without creating an account — there is no account system.
- You can clear cookies and local storage from your browser at any time.
- You can use the consent controls shown on the site, where applicable, to accept or reject optional advertising cookies.
- You can email us at hello@oracleanswers.co.za to request deletion of any contact-form message you have sent us.
- Where applicable law gives you additional rights (such as GDPR or POPIA rights of access, correction and deletion), you can exercise them by contacting us at the address above.
Children
Oracle Answers is intended for a general adult audience. It is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to this policy
We may update this page from time to time as the site grows. Material changes will be reflected here with an updated date at the top of the page. Continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised policy.
