Cookies & Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our site. When you first visit, analytics cookies are disabled by default. You can choose to accept or decline analytics cookies via the cookie consent banner. If you decline, Google Analytics will still collect anonymous, cookieless usage data (page views, general location) but will not store any cookies or track you across sessions.

We do not use advertising cookies, social media tracking pixels, or any other third-party tracking technologies beyond Google Analytics.

Affiliate Links

When you click on a product link that takes you to an external retailer (Amazon, iHerb, etc.), we may earn a commission. These links contain tracking parameters. Clicking an affiliate link does not change the price you pay. Affiliate relationships never influence our ratings or rankings.

Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We may share anonymized, aggregated data with analytics providers. We will share personal information only when required by law.
