LikeHobby is a searchable hobby atlas and recommendation quiz. Both can run in your browser without creating an account.

Information we process

Your quiz answers are used in your browser to calculate hobby matches. The current static version does not require you to submit your name, email address, or account information to receive results.

Saved hobbies and Atlas search

If you save a hobby, LikeHobby stores only that hobby's numeric identifier and a timestamp in this browser under likehobby_atlas_saved_v1. The local saved list is not uploaded. A save or unsave analytics event can include the hobby identifier and the aggregate number saved after that action, but not your complete saved list. You can remove a saved hobby by unsaving it or by clearing this site's browser data.

LikeHobby also stores the last Atlas visit time under likehobby_atlas_visit_v1 so it can measure whether saved hobbies help on a later visit. Analytics receives only a coarse same-day or later-return band, not the stored timestamp.

When you mark a homepage Quick Match session complete, LikeHobby stores a controlled plan under likehobby_home_plan_v1 for up to 30 days so the same no-buy session can be repeated on another local day. The plan contains only the selected need and time bands, hobby identifier, one-or-two completion count, local completion date, save time, and one-time return marker. It contains no free text or account identifier. If long-term browser storage is unavailable, LikeHobby may keep the plan only until the tab closes or for the current visit. First-party analytics can receive the same controlled hobby and filter identifiers, completion count, storage scope, and a saved-or-returned event, but not the stored timestamps or a visitor identifier. Choosing another hobby clears this plan.

After a first Quick Match session is completed, you can choose to send that session through your device's share sheet or copy its link. The shared URL contains only one of 18 controlled need-and-time tokens, such as reset-tiny-v1; it contains no name, account, visitor, session, contact, or sharer identifier. LikeHobby can record that a native share or copy action succeeded and that a controlled shared link arrived, together with the same hobby and filter identifiers. It does not receive the recipient, destination app, message text, contacts, or clipboard contents. Sharing and copying happen only after you press the button.

Your Atlas search phrase stays in the browser. Analytics receives only coarse search-length and token-count bands, result count, and filter state—never the words you typed.

Crossword progress

The crossword stores entered grid letters, the current puzzle number, and completed puzzle identifiers only in this browser under likehobby_crossword_v1. These letters are not sent to LikeHobby. Puzzle analytics records only a start, completion, or restart together with a controlled puzzle identifier. Earlier word-game progress is separate and is not converted. Clearing this site's browser data removes the saved progress.

Analytics

LikeHobby uses Google Analytics through Google Tag Manager to measure the Atlas, recommendation, and guide funnels, and Vercel Web Analytics to count privacy-friendly page views, visitors, and traffic sources. First-party receipts are also copied in a field-minimized form to Cloudflare Workers Analytics Engine. That event-level copy contains allowlisted funnel dimensions and opaque event or interaction identifiers, but no visitor or session identifiers, and Cloudflare retains it for up to three months. Event data can include Atlas version, hobby identifiers, result count, coarse search bands, filter state, saved count, quiz version, question and option identifiers, step number, completion time, top match identifier, page path, guide interactions, and affiliate-link clicks. LikeHobby does not send Atlas search phrases, quiz free text, names, email addresses, phone numbers, or payment details. Vercel Web Analytics does not use third-party cookies or store personal information about visitors.

LikeHobby also collects first-party Core Web Vitals receipts for Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), Interaction to Next Paint (INP), and Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) so real mobile, tablet, and desktop experience can be evaluated. A receipt contains the metric value, canonical page path, stable content identifier, coarse viewport class, navigation type, release and library versions, controlled-test status, and one metric-instance ID used only to deduplicate repeated reports from the same page view. It does not contain element selectors or other DOM details, query strings, URL fragments, user-agent strings, network details, free text, contact or payment information, or a visitor or session identifier; the metric-instance ID is not reused as a visitor or session identifier.

LikeHobby accepts privacy-minimized first-party funnel receipts and affiliate-click receipts for a strict allowlist of core funnel and disclosed outbound-click actions. Each receipt uses one random per-event delivery ID. It does not contain a visitor or session identifier, and that ID is not reused as a visitor or session identifier. An affiliate-click receipt uses the same random per-event delivery ID as the matching outbound-click event so the two deliveries can be checked without creating a browsing profile. Receipts may include only a versioned event name, action time, page path, stable content or funnel identifiers, coarse outcome, disclosure status, and controlled-test fields. Accepted records may be normalized into an internal revenue-reconciliation ledger. Amazon accounting snapshots in the normalized ledger use an append-only revision model: a corrected source creates a new revision instead of overwriting the earlier snapshot. The ledger stores only allowlisted fields and integrity or deduplication hashes—never raw request bodies, raw platform-log envelopes, destination URLs, query strings, free text, visitor or session identifiers, account or payment data, or personally identifiable information (PII). Controlled-test fields separate controlled tests from real activity, and test or legacy-client records are excluded from production funnel and revenue calculations.

Operator-held raw receipt export files are deleted within 30 days. Normalized records that still contain an event or interaction delivery ID are retained for no more than 120 days, then reduced to identifier-free daily aggregates and deleted. LikeHobby may retain those aggregate counts, Amazon accounting facts, source-integrity hashes, and a deletion record containing only the deletion date, source hash, deletion category, affected row count, and retention cutoff. This keeps the evidence needed to audit totals without retaining a browsing profile or a cross-session identity.

LikeHobby's affiliate-click receipts show that a disclosed link was selected; they do not prove that a purchase occurred. Amazon Associates remains the authority for orders and commission. Its reports are authoritative for orders, shipped-item revenue, and commission income only at the selected reporting-period and Associates Tracking ID level. LikeHobby does not use those reports to identify a buyer or deterministically assign an Amazon order or commission to a page, article, item, CTA, or person. Any content-level commission field in the ledger is therefore stored as NULL—meaning “not attributed,” not zero or an estimated amount—while first-party content and click counts remain directional aggregate context. A missing disclosure is retained as a compliance failure and excluded from the validated-click measure.

Advertising

LikeHobby does not currently serve display ads. If display advertising is introduced later, this policy will be updated before those ads are enabled.

Advertising choices and non-content pages

LikeHobby keeps advertising off privacy, terms, contact, and similar non-content pages. Content pages may include clearly disclosed affiliate links, but paid links are not required to use the quiz or read the guides. Browser controls can be used to limit cookies or tracking technologies.

Third-party and affiliate links

LikeHobby links to external marketplaces such as Amazon for hobby supplies and starter kits. Links marked as paid or affiliate links use the active LikeHobby Associates tracking tag, and LikeHobby may earn from qualifying purchases at no extra cost to you. Those websites collect information according to their own policies.

Data sale and sensitive information

LikeHobby does not ask for sensitive personal details in the quiz and does not sell quiz answers. The site does not require an account, payment details, phone number, or profile to read guides or receive quiz results.

How LikeHobby uses local Atlas choices and quiz answers

The Hobby Atlas and quiz are designed to work without creating an account. Atlas searches and filters run in the browser; quiz answers are used there to calculate recommendations and make the result screen useful. LikeHobby does not ask for sensitive personal information in either flow, and readers can use the Atlas and guides without submitting a name, phone number, or login.

Advertising and affiliate partners may process standard web signals such as page views, clicks, device information, and referral information according to their own policies. LikeHobby keeps affiliate disclosures visible and keeps the main editorial advice focused on no-buy-first hobby testing.

Drawing tools and puzzle progress

Photos used in the drawing grid are processed in your browser. We do not upload them or collect filenames. Crossword letters and saved drawing-prompt numbers stay on your device; guesses and drawings are not sent to LikeHobby.

Our existing activity measurement records fixed tool names and actions, such as adjusting a grid, generating a PNG, changing a prompt or saving an idea. Generating a download does not prove that a file was saved to disk, and saving a drawing idea does not mean a drawing was completed. Test activity is marked separately from public activity.
