Privacy Policy
Last updated: 25 August 2026
This policy covers getmyfortunes.com. The short version: the name you type is never sent to us, and the only third party involved in this site is Google, which serves the advertising and the fonts.
The name you enter
When you ask for a fortune you type a first name and choose an option. Both stay entirely inside your own browser. The readings are already loaded into the page, and your name is inserted into one of them by code running on your own device. Nothing is transmitted to getmyfortunes.com, nothing is written to a database, and nothing persists after you close the tab.
We are not being generous here — it is simply how the site is built. There is no server-side component that could receive a name. We could not produce a list of what has been typed into this site because no such list has ever existed.
Cookies and advertising
This site displays advertising served by Google AdSense. This is where cookies enter the picture, and it is worth reading carefully.
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site and to other sites on the internet.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this and other sites.
- You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
- You can opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising at aboutads.info/choices.
- If you are in the EEA, the UK, or Switzerland, Google presents a consent message before serving personalised ads, and your choice there governs what is set.
These cookies are set by Google, not by us. We do not have access to them and cannot read them. We receive no personal information about you from Google — only aggregate reporting on how many ads were shown.
Fonts
The page loads its typefaces from Google Fonts. Loading a font means your browser makes a request to Google's servers, and Google receives your IP address and browser details as part of that request, as it would for any file fetched from another domain. No cookie is set by the font request itself.
What we do not do
- We run no analytics package. There is no Google Analytics on this site.
- We do not ask for, collect, or store email addresses.
- There are no accounts, so there is nothing to sign into and no profile to build.
- We do not sell or share personal information, because we hold none to sell.
- Our web host keeps ordinary server logs (IP address, time, page requested), as essentially all web hosts do. We do not use them to build any profile of you.
Children
This site is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect information from them. Since the site collects nothing from anyone, the practical risk is minimal, but the statement stands.
Your choices
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, which will stop personalised advertising here and everywhere else. You may still see ads; they will simply be untargeted. The oracle itself works normally with all cookies blocked, because it never needed one.
Changes
If this policy changes, the date at the top will change with it. Material changes will be described here rather than made quietly.
