Privacy policy

Effective date: July 17, 2026

Silly Gift Guides is a static editorial website. The public site does not provide visitor accounts, comments, or contact forms. It uses Google Analytics 4 only when a visitor allows optional analytics.

Information visitors provide

If you contact Silly Gift Guides by email, we receive the information you choose to send, such as your email address, message, and any details included in that message.

Server logs and technical data

The web host may process standard server information such as IP addresses, browser details, device information, requested pages, referring pages, and timestamps for security, troubleshooting, and reliable delivery.

Analytics, cookies, and tracking

The site uses Google Analytics 4 to understand page visits and improve the site when optional analytics consent is given. Affiliate networks, including CJ Affiliate where configured, and participating merchants may use referral cookies or similar tracking to attribute clicks and qualifying purchases. Optional tracking can be rejected through the site consent banner. The site may also use normal technical data handled by the browser and web host to load pages.

Affiliate links

Some outbound links may be affiliate links. When you click a tracked link, an affiliate network or merchant may receive information needed to attribute the visit or purchase, such as the referring page, click time, browser information, and purchase information if you buy something. Those third parties may use cookies, pixels, redirect tracking, or similar technologies according to their own policies.

Third-party merchant websites

When you follow a link to another website, that site's privacy policy applies. Silly Gift Guides does not control third-party merchant websites, checkout pages, payment systems, shipping systems, or customer-service tools.

Choices

You can use browser settings or privacy tools to block or delete cookies, limit tracking, or control how third-party websites handle your data. Blocking some third-party tracking may affect affiliate attribution.

Data retention

Silly Gift Guides does not currently maintain a visitor marketing database. Email messages may be retained as needed to respond, keep business records, or handle follow-up questions.

Security

Reasonable care is used to keep site systems and credentials secure, but no website or email exchange can be guaranteed completely secure.

Children's privacy

Silly Gift Guides is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. The site does not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Policy updates

This policy may be updated when site features, vendors, or privacy practices change. The effective date will be updated when changes are published.
