Short version: SlateCliff doesn't ask for your personal information, doesn't use accounts, and uses Google Analytics only to count visits and clicks.
What we collect
The site is static pages hosted on GitHub Pages. GitHub may log standard technical information, such as IP addresses, to operate and secure its service. See GitHub's privacy statement. We use Google Analytics 4 to count page views and clicks to merchant sites, so we know which guides are useful. Google Analytics sets first-party cookies and receives standard technical information such as your IP address, browser, and pages visited. See how Google uses information from sites that use its services. You can opt out with Google's opt-out browser add-on.
Affiliate tracking
Our pages include the Partnerize partner tag and the Sovrn Commerce script, which helps credit purchases you make through our merchant links. Some merchant links go through the Awin affiliate network, and we may also use other affiliate networks, such as impact.com. These networks and the merchants may set cookies or use similar technologies to credit a purchase. See Partnerize's privacy policy, Sovrn's privacy policy, Awin's privacy policy and impact.com's privacy policy.
Newsletter
We don't collect newsletter sign-ups on the site yet. If you email us to join, we use your address only to send the newsletter, and you can ask us to remove it at any time.
Merchant links
When you click through to a merchant, that merchant's own privacy policy applies, along with any affiliate network involved. Those parties may use cookies to credit a purchase.
