This privacy policy explains how Strand (hairtypequiz.hair) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit this site. Strand does not sell personal data to any third party.
Information We Collect
Analytics data
Strand uses Google Analytics 4 (GA4) via Google Tag Manager to understand how visitors use the site. GA4 collects:
- Pages visited and time spent on each page
- General geographic region (country/city level, not precise location)
- Device type, browser, and operating system
- Referring website or search query that brought you to the site
This data is aggregated and anonymous. Strand cannot identify individual visitors from analytics data. Analytics scripts are deferred until your first interaction with the page (mousedown, keydown, touchstart, or scroll) or after 30 seconds, whichever comes first.
Google’s privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy
Advertising data
Strand uses Google Ads conversion tracking (AW-980643963) to measure traffic that originates from any Google advertising campaigns. If you arrived at this site from a Google ad, a conversion event may be recorded.
Strand also loads the Meta (Facebook) Pixel (ID: 1528517258881779) for audience measurement and campaign analytics. This pixel may set a cookie associated with your Facebook account if you are logged into Facebook. You can opt out of Facebook tracking via your Facebook ad preferences.

Strand uses this information only to send the requested content and occasional hair care updates. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email.
