Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Prepper Guides ("we," "us") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit prepperguides.com (the "Site"). By using the Site, you agree to this policy.
Information we collect
- Usage data: We use privacy-friendly, cookieless web analytics to understand aggregate traffic (pages viewed, referrer, country, device type). This does not identify you personally.
- Cookies for advertising: If you consent, our advertising partners may set cookies to deliver and measure ads (see below).
- Email you provide: If you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect the email address you submit.
Cookies and your choices
We do not require cookies to read the Site. Where advertising cookies are used, we ask for your consent first via a banner, and you can decline. You can also control cookies through your browser settings. We honor consent signals using a consent-management approach (Google Consent Mode).
Advertising
We may use third-party advertising, including Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies at aboutads.info.
Affiliate links
The Site contains affiliate links, including the Amazon Associates Program and other affiliate networks. When you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may earn a commission, and the partner may use cookies to attribute the sale. See our affiliate disclosure for details.
Third-party services
We rely on reputable third parties that may process limited data on our behalf, including our hosting/CDN and analytics provider (Cloudflare), advertising partners (such as Google), email service providers, and affiliate networks. Each operates under its own privacy policy.
Children's privacy
The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example, under the GDPR or CCPA/CPRA), you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict the use of your personal information, and to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information. To exercise these rights, contact us at hello@prepperguides.com.
Data retention
We retain newsletter emails until you unsubscribe. Aggregate analytics are retained only as needed to operate and improve the Site.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by the "last updated" date above.
