Cookies and analytics

Last updated: July 3, 2026

Cookies are small files a site stores in your browser. We keep our use light and transparent, and we do not use advertising or retargeting cookies.

What we use

• Analytics. Privacy-friendly, aggregate statistics that tell us which guides help readers. This does not build an advertising profile of you.
• Affiliate referral cookies. When you click a sponsored link, the retailer or affiliate network (for example OpticsPlanet or MaxBounty) may set a cookie to credit the referral. These are set by that third party under its own policy.

What we do not use

No advertising cookies, no cross-site retargeting, and no selling of your data.

Controlling cookies

You can clear or block cookies in your browser settings, and where required we ask consent before setting non-essential cookies. Blocking cookies will not change the price you pay at any retailer. Questions? Contact us, or see our privacy policy.
