Privacy information

Privacy and click attribution

Last updated October 23, 2026. This notice describes what this independently operated information site does; the external merchant has a separate privacy policy.

Data on this site

The site's files do not include analytics tags, advertising pixels, sign-up forms, or code that sets cookies. Hosting by Cloudflare can involve standard infrastructure-level processing, such as IP addresses and HTTP request information, under Cloudflare's applicable policies.

Google Ads click identifiers

If you arrive through an advertisement, the page URL may contain a gclid value. This page reads that value only in browser memory. It does not save the value in cookies, local storage, or a database.

If you voluntarily check the clearly labeled optional attribution box and then choose the Intego partner link, the click identifier is added as aff_sub to the outgoing affiliate URL. That shares the identifier with the partner for attribution. If you leave the box unchecked, no click identifier is appended by this page to the partner link. The links also use a no-referrer policy to avoid sending the originating page address through the Referer header.

External websites

Our vendor link opens an external website operated by other parties. They may process personal and usage information according to their own privacy notices. Purchases and support take place there, not on this site.

Your choices

You can use this guide without selecting the optional attribution box. You can also close the page or manually remove query parameters from the address bar. Nothing is stored by this site's own scripts between visits.

Compliance note for the publisher

Google Ads, Kape, and applicable data-protection laws may impose requirements beyond this page's technical choices, especially when processing ad identifiers. The publisher must verify the full journey and obtain appropriate consent where required before turning on conversion imports or paid campaigns.
