Privacy policy

If you submit the contact form, we store the name, email, and message you provide so the site operator can read it. That is personal information you chose to send. We do not sell it.

Server logs and rate-limit checks used for security are separate from site analytics and may include network information for a short period as reasonably necessary to protect the site. Those security mechanisms are not used to build a marketing profile.

This public site uses Google Analytics 4, a Google service, to measure visits. Measurement is configured per site and is not shared with other sites in the network. Pages load Google's gtag script. Google may set its own cookies or similar storage, such as _ga, on your browser. SiteForge's site tag sets allow_google_signals to false and allow_ad_personalization_signals to false. SiteForge does not enable Google advertising signals, remarketing, or User-ID in the site tag, and does not implement a consent-mode banner. Google's privacy policy applies to information Google collects. We do not describe GA4 data as anonymous.

Google Search Console is configured for this domain. Domain-property ownership has been verified. The sitemap has been submitted. Search Console may provide search-performance and indexing information to the site operator. That does not mean every page is indexed or that Google has approved this site.

This site uses limited first-party session information and aggregate click analytics to understand site performance, detect automated traffic, and measure outbound affiliate-link usage.

A short-lived first-party session cookie named sf_sid may be set when you use this site. It is a first-party cookie, marked HttpOnly, Secure on HTTPS, and SameSite=Lax. It lasts only for the browser session. It is not used to recognize you on a later visit, and there is no persistent SiteForge visitor identifier connecting separate browsing sessions. SiteForge does not issue a persistent sf_vid cookie.

First-party page events may record a path and event type together with that current-session identifier. They do not store a raw IP address, a hashed IP, a persistent visitor identifier, your name, or your email in affiliate analytics.

When you follow an affiliate link, the redirect records a business event for the site operator: time; site; article if it can be attributed; product or search query; merchant destination and type; referrer host; campaign source or medium when those UTM fields are explicitly supplied; coarse browser family, operating-system family, and device type; a bot, likely-human, or uncertain classification and the reason for that classification; pageview count from the current session; approximate dwell time in the current session; current-session affiliate click activity; and whether the redirect succeeded or returned an error. SiteForge does not store raw IP addresses, hashed IPs, persistent visitor identifiers, city, region, country, precise or GeoIP-derived location, browser version, full User-Agent strings, or full external referrer URLs including query strings for this purpose.

This session information is not anonymous: it can describe activity within one browsing session. It is not used to build a profile of you across visits, to locate you, or to identify you as a person. Long-term reporting is aggregate. This is first-party outbound-click analytics. It is not Amazon Associates reporting of clicks, orders, or commissions.

Affiliate click business events are retained for aggregate performance reporting. The sf_sid cookie lasts only for the browser session. Contact-form messages are retained so the operator can read them. Security logs are kept for a short period as reasonably necessary. Google Analytics retention follows Google's settings for this property.

If this site participates in the Amazon Associates Program, some links are affiliate links to Amazon. Amazon and other merchants have their own privacy practices once you leave this site.

This site does not require an account and does not run a comment system. To ask a privacy question or request that a contact-form message be reviewed, use the contact form on the Contact page.
