Privacy Policy
Last Updated: November 2026 · Effective Date: November 2026
At AI-Free Search (accessible from https://howtodisableaioverview.com), one of our main priorities is the privacy of our visitors. This Privacy Policy document outlines the types of information that is collected and recorded by AI-Free Search and how we use it.
1General Data Collection
AI-Free Search is an informational utility and guide site. We do not require user account registration, do not maintain user profiles, and do not store or inspect your private search queries. Any interaction with the search tools provided on this site occurs client-side in your own browser or routes directly through public Google parameters (such as udm=14).
2Google DoubleClick DART Cookies & Google AdSense
Google is one of the third-party vendors on our site. Google uses cookies, known as DART cookies, to serve ads to our site visitors based upon their visit to howtodisableaioverview.com and other sites on the internet:
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to your website or other websites.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
- Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings at https://adssettings.google.com.

3Web Analytics (Microsoft Clarity & Pageview)
We partner with Microsoft Clarity and Pageview.app to capture how you use and interact with our website through behavioral metrics, heatmaps, and session replay to improve user experience and guide efficacy:

4Browser Extension Privacy
The AI-Free Search Chrome extension is built strictly under Google Chrome's Manifest V3 standard. It operates locally in your browser, requesting permissions limited strictly to Google Search result URLs. The extension does not collect, store, or transmit any browsing history, credentials, or personal telemetry.
