Privacy

Bricks Academy is the public documentation site for Bricks. This page explains how Academy handles analytics, embedded videos, feedback, and local browser storage.

For Bricks account, purchase, license, support, and main website privacy information, see the Bricks Privacy Policy.

Hosting And Security

Section titled “Hosting And Security”

Academy is delivered through Cloudflare. As part of serving the site, Cloudflare receives technical request data such as IP address, browser details, requested URL, timestamps, and security signals. We use Cloudflare for hosting, performance, and basic security.

Analytics

Section titled “Analytics”

Academy uses Plausible Analytics to understand which documentation pages are useful and where the docs need improvement. Plausible does not use cookies for Academy analytics and reports aggregate usage rather than individual visitor profiles.

Embedded YouTube Videos

Section titled “Embedded YouTube Videos”

Some documentation pages include YouTube videos. Academy does not load the YouTube player automatically. The player loads only after you choose to load a video.

When you load a YouTube video, your browser connects to YouTube/Google. Academy uses YouTube’s privacy-enhanced embed domain, youtube-nocookie.com, which reduces default tracking compared with the standard embed domain. YouTube remains a third-party service.

Documentation Feedback

Section titled “Documentation Feedback”

Academy includes a small feedback widget on documentation pages. If you submit feedback, we store:

  • The documentation path
  • Your helpful/not helpful vote
  • Any message you choose to submit
  • A server-side submission timestamp

Please do not submit passwords, license keys, or other personal data through the feedback form. We use submitted feedback to improve the documentation.

Local Browser Storage

Section titled “Local Browser Storage”

Academy stores small preferences in your browser, such as theme choice, dismissed banners, and whether you already submitted page feedback. This storage stays in your browser and helps the site remember functional preferences.

Some Bricks documentation pages also describe features inside the Bricks product that use browser storage. Those examples refer to behavior in your own WordPress site or builder session, not additional tracking by Academy.

Your Choices

Section titled “Your Choices”

You can avoid loading YouTube videos by not clicking the video placeholder. You can block Plausible or other third-party requests with browser privacy tools. You can clear Academy local storage in your browser settings.
