Privacy policy

The short version: this site collects almost nothing. There's no login, no signup form, and no tracking pixel watching what you read. The one small cookie it does set is there to remember whether to show you Canadian or US prices — nothing more.

What we collect

• A country cookie (dss_country). On your first visit, a Cloudflare function reads the general country your connection appears to come from (standard for any website — it's how "closest server" and language defaults work everywhere) and stores CA or US in a cookie so prices show in the right currency without you having to pick every time. If you use the CA/US switch in the header yourself, that choice is saved instead and always wins. This cookie holds no name, no email, no identifying information — just two letters.
• Standard server logs. Like effectively every website, our host (Cloudflare) logs basic technical request data (IP address, browser type, page requested) for security and reliability. We don't access this for tracking individuals.
• Cookieless analytics (Cloudflare Web Analytics). So we can tell which guides are actually useful, the site counts page views using Cloudflare Web Analytics. It sets no cookies and stores nothing at all on your device. It does not fingerprint you by IP address, browser, or anything else, and it cannot follow you to other websites. What it records is the page viewed, the site that linked you here (if any), your general country, browser and device type, and how quickly the page loaded — as totals, never tied to a person. There is no profile of you, because there is nothing to build one from.

What we don't collect

No accounts, no passwords, no payment details ever touch this site — every purchase happens on the provider's own website (Spaceship, GoDaddy, CanSpace, and so on), under their privacy policy, not ours. We don't run ad networks or advertising pixels, and we deliberately don't use Google Analytics or any other tool that builds a profile of you or follows you between websites. The cookieless counter described above is the only analytics here — chosen specifically so this site never has to throw a cookie consent banner in your way before you can read a guide.

Affiliate links

Some links (anything starting with /go/) are affiliate links that redirect to a provider's website — see the full disclosure for how those work. Once you leave our site through one of those links, the provider's own privacy policy and tracking apply, not ours. We don't see or store anything about what you do on their site.

Cookies, in full

The only cookie this site sets itself is dss_country, described above, kept for one year. It's functional, not for advertising or cross-site tracking, and nothing breaks if you clear it — it just resets you to the default (Canadian pricing). Our analytics adds no cookies of its own, which is the whole reason it was chosen. That's the complete list — one functional cookie, and that's it.

Your choices

Clear the dss_country cookie and local storage entry any time through your browser's site settings to reset the price toggle. Since we don't hold any personal data to begin with, there's no account or profile to delete — there simply isn't one.

Changes to this policy

If what this site collects ever changes materially, this page will be updated and the "last updated" date above will move. Given how little the site collects today, we don't expect that to happen often.
