SmartGearLab ("we," "us") publishes buying guides and product comparisons. This page explains what data is collected when you visit this site, and how it's used.

Information we collect

We don't have user accounts, sign-ups, or forms that collect personal information like your name or email. The data collected on this site comes from the third-party services below, used for analytics and advertising.

Cookies and analytics

• Google Analytics may be used to understand how visitors use the site (pages viewed, general location, device type). Google Analytics uses cookies to distinguish visitors.
• Google AdSense may show ads on this site. Google and its partners use cookies to serve ads based on your visits here and to other sites. You can opt out of personalized advertising through Google Ads Settings.
• Vercel Analytics collects anonymous, aggregate page view data to help us understand site traffic. It does not use cookies.

When you first visit, a cookie banner lets you accept or decline analytics/advertising cookies. Google Analytics and AdSense scripts only load after you accept. Declining doesn't affect your ability to read the site.

Affiliate links

This site participates in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. Links to Amazon include a tracking tag. If you click through and make a purchase, Amazon may set its own cookies on their site and we may earn a commission — see our Affiliate Disclaimer for details. We don't receive any personal information about your Amazon purchases.

Images and content delivery

Images on this site are served through Cloudinary, a content delivery network. Like any web host, standard technical information (such as IP address) is processed to deliver images efficiently.

Children's privacy

This site is not directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect information from children.

Your choices

You can decline analytics/advertising cookies via the banner shown on your first visit, clear cookies through your browser at any time, or opt out of Google's personalized ads through Google Ads Settings.

Changes to this policy

We may update this page as the site changes. Check back periodically for the latest version.
