Privacy Policy

Last updated October 2026

Honda Check Engine Light ("we", "us") operates hondacheckenginelight.com. This policy explains what information we collect when you visit, how it is used, and your choices. We aim to collect as little as possible.

Information we collect

Usage data: pages viewed, referring site, approximate region, and device/browser type — counted in aggregate by our own self-hosted, cookie-free analytics (see below).
Contact details: only the email address you choose to send us.

We do not ask for or store sensitive personal information. We do not sell personal information for money, and we keep no reader database or profiles of our own. Our own pages set no cookies, but the advertising described below can. Our Cookie Policy has the details.

Advertising

This site shows ads served by Google AdSense. Google and its partners may use cookies or similar identifiers to display those ads and measure their performance. Where the law allows, this can include ads based on your earlier visits to this site and to other websites.

Google explains how it uses information from sites that use its services. You can review and manage ad personalization in Google's My Ad Center. If you visit from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, a consent message from Google lets you consent, not consent, or manage your options before personalized ads are used.

Affiliate links

As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases. Some links on this site are affiliate links; if you buy through them we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. This never changes the price you pay or our recommendations.

Analytics

We run our own self-hosted analytics (Matomo) to see which guides help people. It sets no cookies, honors your browser's Do Not Track setting, anonymizes IP addresses, and never shares data with third parties — the data stays on our own server, in aggregate, and is not used to identify individuals.

Your choices & rights

Depending on where you live (for example under GDPR or CCPA), you may have the right to access, correct, or delete personal data we hold. Under some US state privacy laws, such as California's, the advertising cookies Google sets on this site may still count as "selling" or "sharing" personal information. You can turn off ad personalization at myadcenter.google.com, and you can block or delete cookies in your browser. To make a request about data we hold, contact us below.

Children

This site is not directed to children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect their data.
