Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 25, 2026

Information we collect

This site does not have user accounts and the contact page is a plain mailto link, so we don't collect or store form submissions ourselves. Cloudflare, our hosting provider, automatically logs standard access data (IP address, browser type, pages requested) for security and performance purposes, consistent with theCloudflare Privacy Policy. We also use Google Analytics (GA4) to understand traffic and which pages and outbound links get used, governed by theGoogle Privacy Policy. Google Analytics only runs after you accept the cookie banner below — it does not load or set cookies before that.

Cookies

Accepting the cookie banner on this site enables Google Analytics, which sets cookies (such as _ga) to distinguish visitors and measure how the site is used, including which outbound affiliate links get clicked. Declining or ignoring the banner keeps Google Analytics off. Separately, clicking an outbound affiliate link and being redirected to a partner retailer's site may set a cookie on that retailer's domain — those cookies are set by the retailer/affiliate network, not by us, and are used to attribute the referral.

Third-party services

We link to products at the following retailers through their affiliate programs, and following a link may set a cookie governed by that company's own privacy policy:

This list will grow as we join additional affiliate programs — see ourAffiliate Disclosure page for the current, authoritative list.

Your rights (GDPR / CCPA)

If you're in the EU/UK or California, you have the right to ask what data we hold about you, request deletion, or opt out of any future data collection. Since we don't operate accounts, declining or never accepting the cookie banner means no Google Analytics data is collected about you in the first place. For data already collected by Google Analytics, Cloudflare, or an affiliate network, refer to that company's own privacy policy for how to exercise your rights with them directly; you can also reach out via the contact page and we'll help where we can.
