This privacy policy explains what information My Tennis Expert collects when you visit the site, how we use it, and the choices you have.

What Information We Collect
Server Log Files
Our hosting provider, Cloudflare, automatically collects standard server log data when you visit the site. This includes your IP address, browser type, referring page, pages visited, and timestamps. This data is used for security, performance monitoring, and basic site analytics. It is not linked to any personally identifiable information.
Contact Form
When you submit our contact form, we collect your name, email address, and message content. This information is used solely to respond to your inquiry. We do not add you to any mailing list or share your contact details with third parties.
The contact form uses Cloudflare Turnstile to verify you are a real person. Turnstile processes limited technical data (such as browser characteristics) to make this determination. You can read more in Cloudflare’s privacy policy.
Cookies
My Tennis Expert uses cookies to improve your experience on the site. When you first visit, a cookie consent banner lets you choose which categories to allow. You can update your preferences at any time through the cookie settings accessible from the banner.
We use three categories of cookies:
Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function properly. They include cookies that remember your consent preferences. These cannot be disabled.
Analytics Cookies
If you consent, we use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site. Google Analytics sets the following cookies:
- _ga, which distinguishes unique visitors (expires after 2 years)
- _gid, which distinguishes unique visitors (expires after 24 hours)
This data is aggregated and anonymous. It helps us see which articles are popular, where visitors come from, and how people navigate the site. We use these insights to create better content.
If you decline analytics cookies, Google Analytics does not load and no tracking data is collected.
Advertising Cookies
If you consent, Google AdSense may set cookies to serve ads relevant to your interests based on your browsing activity across the web. These include cookies such as __gads and __gpi.
If you decline advertising cookies, you may still see ads on the site, but they will not be personalized.
Google Consent Mode
We use Google Consent Mode v2 to ensure that Google Analytics and Google AdSense respect your cookie preferences. When you decline a cookie category, the corresponding Google services are blocked or restricted automatically.

- Cloudflare for hosting and security. Cloudflare Privacy Policy
- Google Analytics for anonymous site traffic analysis. Google Privacy Policy

Each third-party service operates under its own privacy policy. My Tennis Expert does not control cookies or data collection by these services beyond the consent controls described above.
Affiliate Links
Our gear reviews and product recommendations include affiliate links to retailers such as Amazon. When you click an affiliate link, the retailer may use cookies to track your visit for commission purposes. This does not affect the price you pay. For more details, see our Affiliate Partners page.
