Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 4, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains what information is collected when you visit rudyshunting.com (“Rudy’s Hunting,” “the site”), how it is used, and the choices you have. The site is run by Rudy. You can reach me at rudy@rudyshunting.com.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, the servers that deliver this site record standard log information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type and version, device type, the pages you request, the referring page, and the date and time. This is used to keep the site running, to protect it from abuse, and to understand how it is used.

Information you provide

If you email me, I receive your email address and whatever you include in your message. I use it only to reply to you and do not sell it or share it for marketing. If comments are enabled on a post and you leave one, the site stores the name, email address, and comment you enter along with your IP address. Comments may be checked by the Akismet spam-filtering service (run by Automattic), which receives the comment content and related technical data for that purpose.

Cookies

Cookies are small files that a website or a third party places on your device. This site and the third-party services described below may use cookies and similar technologies to remember settings, measure traffic, and show and measure advertising. You can control or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you block cookies, some parts of the site or its ads may not work as expected.

Advertising: Google AdSense

This site uses, or may use, Google AdSense to display ads. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to this website and other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the internet.

Google and its partners may collect and use information such as your IP address, cookie identifiers, and the pages you view in order to show, limit, and measure ads and to prevent fraud. You can learn more about how Google uses data from sites that use its services at How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.

You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info. Opting out does not stop ads from appearing; they will just be less relevant to you. Where the law requires it (for example, for visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland), a consent message may be shown before ad cookies are used.

Analytics: Google Analytics and Search Console

The site uses Google’s Site Kit plugin, which can connect the site to Google Analytics and Google Search Console. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information about how visitors use the site (such as pages viewed, approximate location, and device and browser type) and reports it to me in aggregate. Search Console shows me how the site appears in Google Search and does not identify individual visitors. To learn how Google handles this data, see the Google Privacy Policy. You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting your data by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

Links to other sites

The site may link to other websites, such as the Wisconsin DNR. I am not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites, so please read their policies.

Your choices and rights

You can block or delete cookies in your browser, use the Google opt-outs listed above, or use a browser or extension that limits tracking. Depending on where you live, you may have the right to ask what personal information I hold about you, or to ask me to correct or delete it. Email rudy@rudyshunting.com and I will respond as soon as I can. I do not sell personal information that you send me directly.

Children

The site is not directed to children under 13, and I do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has sent me personal information, email me and I will delete it.

Changes to this policy

I may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date above shows when it last changed.
