Privacy policy for BRYME Writers.

Effective: 22 October 2026.

THE BRYME publishes BRYME Writers, an independent reference desk and toolkit for freelance and creative writers. Our privacy rule is simple: collect as little as possible, process writer drafts locally inside your browser, explain what third-party services do before they run, and never build or sell a reader profile.

What BRYME Writers does locally in your browser

• Paid-market directory & craft guides: Our 304 publication dossiers and 197 craft and pitching guides are static reference pages. You do not need an account to read or filter them, and BRYME never receives your pitches or submissions.
• 49 browser-based writing tools: Every counter, readability checker, rate calculator, invoice generator, contract builder, and document tool runs locally inside your browser using JavaScript. Your drafts, numbers, and files are never uploaded to a BRYME server.

Analytics and advertising

BRYME uses Google Analytics 4 (measurement ID G-0KEKJH9960) to understand aggregate page visits, sessions, and approximate region so the editorial desk knows which guides and market dossiers are useful. We also include the Google AdSense publisher verification tag and carry display advertising from Adsterra to keep the publication free to read.

Advertising on this site is served by two named partners: Google AdSense provides the publisher tag (no AdSense ad units are placed on article pages while the site is in its review stage), and Adsterra serves a native banner at the top of a content page, a 300×250 display banner after the article ends and before the footer, and a Social Bar widget. Advertising is kept strictly separate from editorial text and never styled to resemble a publication card, tool button, or navigation link.

Adsterra units are loaded by our first-party script (/assets/adsterra-loader.js), which sets no cookies and stores nothing of its own. Outside the EEA, the UK, and Switzerland, Adsterra units load with the page. Inside the EEA, the UK, and Switzerland, /assets/adsterra-loader.js waits for granted advertising consent from Google’s consent message; if consent is refused or never given, no Adsterra script is requested. Once Adsterra’s own script runs, it may set cookies or use local storage and device identifiers and receives your IP address and basic browser information to deliver and measure advertising, as described in Adsterra’s privacy policy.

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to this and other websites. Visitors in the EEA, the UK, and Switzerland are shown a consent message before consent-based advertising and analytics are enabled. Google’s consent controls let visitors accept, reject, or manage those choices at any time, and visitors everywhere can manage personalised advertising choices through Google Ads Settings or aboutads.info.

Cookies and browser storage

Some pages use cookies or local browser storage for consent preferences, aggregate analytics (such as _ga), theme preferences, or optional local tool state (such as saving your own deadline checklist in localStorage). When Adsterra’s advertising scripts run, they may also use cookies or browser storage of their own. You can clear cookies and local storage in your browser settings at any time.

Hosting, contact and external links

Our hosting provider processes standard technical request data (IP address, user agent, requested URL, and timestamp) strictly for security, reliability, and service operation. If you email BRYME, your address and message are used only to reply and, where relevant, update a market record; we never add correspondents to a marketing list.

Outbound links to literary magazines, trade publications, payment services, and external references lead to independent third-party sites governed by their own privacy policies.

Your choices

You can refuse or withdraw consent through the Google privacy message, block cookies or third-party scripts in your browser, or contact us with any privacy question at hello@thebryme.com.
