Privacy Policy

SimplyTheBest is designed to be a read-only resource. We collect minimal data:

• Analytics data: Anonymous page views, referral sources, and general geographic region to understand how visitors use our site.

We do not require account creation, and we do not collect personal information beyond what is listed above.

SimplyTheBest participates in affiliate programs, including the Amazon Associates programs in the United States and Canada. When you click a product link and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. For Canadian visitors, product links may direct you to Amazon.ca.

This never influences our recommendations. Our picks are determined entirely by our scoring methodology, which weighs expert reviews, lab data, and real-world testing. Affiliate relationships have zero weight in our scoring methodology.

We use minimal browser storage:

• Theme preference: Your light/dark mode choice is stored in localStorage so it persists between visits.
• Analytics cookies: Standard analytics cookies to measure aggregate traffic patterns. No personal tracking or cross-site advertising cookies.
• Campaign attribution: If you arrive via a referral link, the campaign identifier is stored in sessionStorage for the duration of your browser session to attribute conversions to the referring source.

We do not use tracking pixels, fingerprinting, or any form of behavioral advertising.

We use privacy-focused analytics to understand aggregate traffic patterns. This data helps us decide which categories to cover next and improve existing content. Analytics data is anonymized and cannot be used to identify individual visitors.

Our site may link to external services:

• Amazon: Product links direct you to Amazon.com or Amazon.ca (depending on your location), each of which has its own privacy policy.
• Manufacturer websites: Links to manufacturer pages are governed by each manufacturer's privacy policy.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices of external sites. We encourage you to review their policies when visiting.

Analytics data is retained in aggregate form and cannot identify individual users. We do not sell, trade, or share your data with third parties for marketing purposes.
