Using this site

By using Explain It Simply ("this site"), you agree to these terms. If you don't agree with them, please don't use the site.

What this site is

This site provides general, plain-English explanations of technology concepts for learning purposes. It isn't professional, technical, legal, or security advice, and it shouldn't be relied on as the sole basis for any decision — especially anything involving security, privacy, or money.

Accuracy

We try to keep explanations correct and up to date, but technology changes quickly and mistakes happen. Content is provided "as is," without any warranty that it's complete, current, or error-free.

Content and permitted use

The text and illustrations on this site are original work and may be shared or linked to freely for personal or educational purposes. Wholesale republishing, scraping for a commercial product, or bulk copying of the site's content isn't permitted without asking first — get in touch if you'd like to use it for something beyond that.

Third-party links

Several pages link to external tools and sites as "try it yourself" examples. We don't control those sites and aren't responsible for their content, availability, or practices.

Advertising

This site displays, or intends to display, third-party advertisements. See the Privacy Policy for details on how advertising cookies are handled.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, this site's operator isn't liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of the site, or your reliance on anything it explains.

Changes to these terms

If these terms change, the update will be posted on this page with a new "last updated" date above.
