Privacy Policy

Paracord Picks was built by David King. This page explains what is collected when you use the site, who collects it, and what is stored in your browser.

Hosting

The site is hosted by Vercel. Like any web host, Vercel processes technical request data (such as your IP address, browser type and the page requested) to deliver pages and keep the service secure.

Analytics

Vercel Web Analytics. We use Vercel Web Analytics to count page views. It does not use cookies. It records aggregated information such as the page visited, the referring site, country and device type. When you click a link to Amazon, we also record that click as an event (the page, the product's Amazon ID, where on the page the link was and the type of page), so we can see which pages readers find useful.

Google Analytics. We also use Google Analytics 4, provided by Google. It loads as soon as you scroll, click, tap or press a key, or once your browser has finished loading the page (at most about five seconds later), whichever comes first. It sets Google Analytics cookies (named _ga and _ga_*) to tell visits apart. Google receives information such as the pages you view, your approximate location, your device and browser, and your IP address. You can learn more in How Google uses information from sites that use its services, or install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

Videos

Some pages show YouTube video previews: the preview image is loaded from YouTube's image server (i.ytimg.com), which receives your IP address, and the video player itself (youtube-nocookie.com) loads only when you click play.

Email

The site has no email sign-up and no other form that collects personal information. An earlier email sign-up was removed in October 2026, and no newsletter is sent. Addresses submitted before then remain in our account with the email provider Resend and in a private archive kept by the site owner. They are not used to send email.

Cookies and browser storage set by this site

The site itself sets only one small preference value, and it does not identify you:

  • theme-preference (local storage): set only if you switch between light and dark mode.

Google Analytics cookies are described above. The site uses fonts already installed on your device and does not load any third-party font service.

Amazon Associates

Paracord Picks participates in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program that lets sites earn fees by linking to Amazon.com. When you click a link to Amazon, you leave this site, and Amazon may set cookies in your browser to record that you came from here. Amazon's own privacy notice covers what happens on Amazon.

What we do not do

We do not sell personal information, and the site has no user accounts or comment system.

Changes

If what the site collects changes, this page will be updated and the date at the top will change.
