Privacy policy
Effective October 18, 2026 · SnippetSearch
What the site does
SnippetSearch is a public code reference. It does not require an account, accept user posts, or collect payment information. We do not sell personal information or run advertising in this release.
Requests and server logs
To deliver pages, our server and hosting infrastructure process information such as your IP address, requested URL, browser headers, and request time. Infrastructure logs may retain this information for operation, security, and troubleshooting. Search terms appear in the search URL, so do not include passwords, personal information, or confidential code in searches.
Preferences stored on your device
Your chosen color theme and cookie preference are stored locally in your browser. Library expansions, sidebar scroll position and a temporary destination for previous/next snippet navigation are remembered in session storage for the current browser tab. You can clear these preferences through your browser’s site-data settings. See the cookie policy for names, purposes, and duration.
Optional Google Analytics
If the operator configures Google Analytics and you choose “Allow analytics”, the site loads Google’s analytics script to measure page use and browser/device information. Until you opt in, this site does not load that script or send analytics requests. Advertising features and personalization are disabled. Analytics stays off on search and error pages and on URLs containing query parameters or fragments. Referrer headers include only the site origin, keeping search terms out of subsequent page referrers.
Google processes analytics information under its own policies and may process data in countries other than yours. Read Google’s privacy policy. You can withdraw consent through “Manage cookie settings” on the Cookie policy page. Withdrawal stops future analytics on this site; it does not retroactively remove data already sent.
Choices and requests
You may use all snippet pages without optional analytics. Browser privacy controls, blocking scripts, and clearing site storage remain available. Any privacy rights you have depend on applicable law.
Audience and updates
This site is intended for a general programming audience and is not directed at children under 13. We may revise this policy as the service changes and will update the effective date on this page.
