Privacy Policy

Last updated August 16, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains what information Messy Stories (“we”) collects on messystories.com and how it’s used. By using the site you agree to this policy.

Information we collect

Email address — only if you choose to sign up for new-story notifications. Stored with our email provider and used solely to email you about Messy Stories. Unsubscribe anytime.
Story submissions — the content you voluntarily submit through our form.
Usage data — we use Cloudflare Web Analytics, a privacy-first, cookieless measurement tool that reports aggregate page views and performance without tracking you individually or across sites.

Cookies & advertising

Our analytics is cookieless (see above); cookies on this site come from basic functionality and, once advertising is live, from third-party ad vendors, including Google. 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 to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites.
You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
You can opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies at aboutads.info/choices.

Where required (e.g. the EEA, UK, and certain US states), a consent banner will request your consent before personalized-advertising cookies are set, from the moment advertising goes live on the site.

Your choices

You can unsubscribe from emails at any time, request deletion of data you’ve submitted, and control cookies through your browser settings. To make a request, email [email protected].

Children

This site is intended for adults (18+) and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children.
