Privacy
Short version: this site sets no cookies of its own and runs no advertising trackers.
Analytics
We use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which counts page views without setting a single cookie, without a device fingerprint, and without following you between sites. There is no advertising network involved and no profile of you anywhere. It is the only third-party request this site makes.
What it tells us: how many people read a page, roughly where in the world they were, and which link brought them. What it cannot tell us: who you are, or that the person who read one page is the person who read another.
This is also why there is no cookie banner here. We did not find a clever way around the consent rules — we just do not do the thing that requires consent.
Affiliate links
When you click a link to Amazon, Amazon sets its own cookie so it can attribute a purchase to this site. That cookie is Amazon's and is governed by Amazon's privacy notice, not ours. We never receive your name, address or payment details — only an anonymous count of orders. See the affiliate disclosure for how the arrangement works.
If you write to us we keep the message so we can reply. We do not add you to any list, and we never sell or share contact details.
Your rights
If you are in the EU, UK or California you have the right to ask what we hold about you and to have it deleted. Because we hold essentially nothing, this is usually a very short conversation: hello@deskgauge.com.
