Cookies & Tracking

We use minimal cookies to improve your experience:

Essential Cookies

Required for the site to function. Store your preferences (like sort order) during your visit. Deleted when you close your browser.

Analytics Cookies (Google Analytics)

Help us understand how people use the site. We use the anonymized setting which removes the last part of your IP address.

Affiliate Cookies

When you click an affiliate link, the retailer (not us) may set cookies to track the referral. We don't control these.

  • •Understand which products people search for most
  • •Identify broken pages or tools
  • •Improve site speed and performance
  • •Decide which features to build next

  • •Respond to your questions
  • •Fix errors you report
  • •Thank you for contributions
Who We Share Data With

We share data with very few services, all for essential functions:

Google Analytics

For understanding site usage. We use IP anonymization and don't link data to individuals.

Cloudflare

For site security and performance. They process traffic but don't store personal data.

Web Hosting Provider

Stores the website files and databases. No personal data is stored in our database.

Note: When you click affiliate links, you're taken to retailer sites (Amazon, etc.) which have their own privacy policies. We don't control what they collect.

Your Rights

You have complete control over your data:

  • Access Your Data

    Contact us to request what information we have about you (spoiler: probably none)

  • Delete Your Data

    Request deletion of any data we have (mainly applies if you've contacted us)

  • Opt Out of Analytics

    Use browser extensions like uBlock Origin or Privacy Badger to block analytics

  • Browse Anonymously

    Use incognito/private mode or a VPN. Our site works fine with both.

Data Security

We take reasonable precautions to protect any data we collect:

  • •HTTPS encryption on all pages
  • •Regular security updates
  • •No storage of sensitive personal data
  • •No user accounts = no passwords to leak
Children's Privacy

CompareWhey.org is intended for adults interested in fitness and nutrition. We don't knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you're under 18, please consult with a parent or guardian before using protein supplements.

Changes to This Policy

If we make significant changes to this privacy policy, we'll:

  • •Update the "Last Updated" date
  • •Add a notice to the homepage for 30 days
  • •Keep previous versions available for reference
Questions About Privacy?

We tried to make this policy clear and honest. If you have any questions or concerns about privacy, please contact us.

We're a small independent project, not a big corporation. We'll personally read and respond to your privacy concerns.

TL;DR: We use basic analytics. We don't sell data. We don't track you creepily. We don't spam. That's it.
