Privacy Policy

Plain-English answers on analytics, cookies and affiliate links — and how to opt out.

Last updated September 2026

This policy explains what information GaugeGrade (gaugegrade.com) collects when you visit, why, and the choices you have. We keep data collection to the minimum needed to run the site.

Information we collect

We do not ask you for personal information to read the site. Like most websites, our analytics provider automatically receives standard technical data — your approximate location, device and browser type, the pages you view and the site you arrived from. If you choose to join our email list, we collect the email address you submit and nothing more.

Cookies and analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how the site is used, in aggregate. It sets cookies and processes usage data on our behalf; see Google’s privacy policy. You can opt out with the Google Analytics opt-out add-on or by blocking cookies in your browser.

Third parties

Data may be processed by the services that run the site — our analytics provider (Google), the retailers whose affiliate links we use (such as Amazon), and our hosting and email providers. Any advertising partners we add in future may also use cookies; we will update this policy when that happens.

Your choices

You can block or delete cookies in your browser, use the analytics opt-out above, and unsubscribe from our email list at any time using the link in any email. To ask what data we hold or to request deletion, email us at contact@gaugegrade.com.

Children

This site is intended for a general adult audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

Changes and contact

We may update this policy as the site changes; the date above shows the latest version. Questions about privacy can be sent to contact@gaugegrade.com.
