🍪 Cookies

Cookies & Tracking

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by your browser when you visit a website. KitchenGizmoUSA uses cookies only for analytics and essential site functionality — never for advertising or cross-site tracking.

Essential Cookies
Required for basic site functionality — page loading, security, and WordPress session management. These cannot be disabled without breaking the site.
Analytics Cookies (Google Analytics)
We use Google Analytics to collect anonymized data on page views, session duration, and traffic sources. This data is aggregated and does not identify individual visitors. You can opt out via the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on.
Amazon Associate Cookies
When you click an Amazon affiliate link, Amazon may set cookies to track your session for commission attribution purposes. This is governed by Amazon’s own Privacy Policy, not ours.
⚙️
How to Control Cookies
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. Visit allaboutcookies.org for guidance specific to your browser. Note that disabling cookies may affect site functionality.
🔗 Third Parties

Third-Party Services

KitchenGizmoUSA uses a small number of third-party services to operate. Each has its own privacy policy, which governs how they handle data independently of us.

Service Purpose Privacy Policy
Google Analytics Anonymized site traffic analysis policies.google.com/privacy
Amazon Associates Affiliate link tracking & commissions amazon.com/privacy
WordPress (self-hosted) Content management system automattic.com/privacy

🚫 Data Sharing

We Do Not Sell Your Data

🔒
Our Data Sharing Policy — In Full
KitchenGizmoUSA does not sell, rent, trade, or otherwise transfer your personally identifiable information to outside parties. We do not share your data with advertisers, data brokers, or marketing networks. The only data that passes to third parties is the anonymized analytics data described above, and Amazon’s affiliate tracking when you click a product link — both of which are governed by the respective third parties’ own privacy policies.

We may disclose information if required to do so by law, or if we believe in good faith that such action is necessary to comply with a legal obligation, protect the rights or safety of our users, or investigate potential violations of our policies.
