In short
- We count visits with Google Analytics, with Google's advertising features turned off.
- Visitors in the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland get no analytics cookies, and nor does anyone whose browser sends Global Privacy Control.
- We don't sell your personal information or share it for targeted advertising.
- Stores you visit from our links have their own privacy policies.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 to count visits and see which pages are useful. It records the pages you view, the site
that sent you, your approximate location (country and city, worked out from your IP address, which Google
Analytics does not store), your device and browser type, and which store buttons you click. To recognise a returning
browser it sets first-party cookies (named _ga and _ga_*).
We turn off Google signals and ad personalisation, so this data is not linked to your Google account or used for advertising. Google Analytics keeps visit-level data for no more than 14 months.
No analytics cookies in some places. For visitors in the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland, and for anyone whose browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we tell Google not to set or read analytics cookies. Google then receives only cookieless pings, which carry details such as the time, the page, the referring site and your browser's user agent, but no identifier that lets it recognise you between visits.
You can also block these cookies in your browser, or use Google's opt-out add-on. How Google uses data from sites that use its services is explained at policies.google.com.
Store links
To understand which pages help people, our site remembers for your current browser tab only (in session storage, which is deleted when you close the tab) whether you arrived from a search engine, an AI assistant, a social site or directly. When you click a store link, that category (for example "ai") and the page you clicked from may be added to the link so the store or its affiliate network can report which kind of visit led to a sale. Nothing that identifies you is added.
Third parties, including Amazon, other retailers and advertisers, and affiliate networks such as Awin, Impact and Rakuten, may serve content, collect information directly from visitors, and place or recognize cookies on your browser, to credit us with a sale. Once you follow a link, you are on their site and their privacy policies apply. You can opt out of interest-based advertising from many companies at optout.aboutads.info (US) or youronlinechoices.eu (Europe). See our affiliate disclosure for how we earn money.
Hosting and server logs
The site is hosted by Vercel. Like any web server, it receives your IP address and browser details with each request, and keeps them in short-lived logs to deliver pages and protect the site from abuse. We don't use these logs to identify visitors. Our fonts and page assets are served from our own domain, not from third-party font services.
If you email us, we use your address and message only to reply, and delete them when they are no longer needed.
We don't sell or share your information
We don't sell personal information, and we don't share it for cross-context behavioural (targeted) advertising, as those terms are used in US state privacy laws such as California's. We honour Global Privacy Control as described above.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to know what personal information we hold about you, to get a copy, to correct it, to delete it, and to object to or restrict how it is used. We hold very little: analytics data that we can't tie to you by name, and any email you sent us. To make a request, email hello@aipcs.store. We will answer within 30 days and won't treat you differently for asking. If you are in the EEA or UK, you can also complain to your local data protection authority.
Children
This site is not aimed at children under 13 and we don't knowingly collect their information.
Changes and contact
We will update this page, and the date at the top, if anything changes. Questions: hello@aipcs.store. See also our terms of use.
