Privacy policy

Hypoallergenic Guide Editorial · Last updated 14 November 2026

This policy describes what the site does today. It describes current practice and may change; when it does, the “last updated” date above changes.

Analytics and the privacy banner

The site uses Google Analytics 4 to count visits and affiliate clicks. It runs with Google’s consent mode. Visitors whose browser time zone is in Europe (including the UK) see a banner on arrival, and analytics storage is denied until they choose to allow it. Elsewhere, analytics is on by default and you can switch it off on the privacy choices page. Time zone is a rough guide to location, not a verified one. Advertising storage, ad user data and ad personalisation are always denied, and we do not run advertising cookies. Your choice is saved in your browser’s local storage on your device and can be changed at any time.

Affiliate click counts

When you click an affiliate button or link, the site sends a small record to its own server: the page, the placement of the link and the product identifier, with the time it was received. For visitors whose browser time zone is in Europe (including the UK) this record is sent only if you have allowed analytics; elsewhere it is sent without a prompt. We do not store your IP address, name or email in that record. The same click is also sent to Google Analytics as an event, subject to your analytics choice. Affiliate links open the retailer’s site, which may set its own cookies under its own policy.

Newsletter

We collect an email address only if you subscribe. We store the address, the place on the site where you signed up, the consent wording shown at the time, the type of sign-up and the date and time. We use it to send the newsletter and for nothing else. You can ask us to remove your address through the contact page.

What stores nothing

The free guide download is a direct file and asks for no email. The finder tool runs in your browser and nothing you tick is sent anywhere. Search runs on the site itself.

Hosting and other parties

The site is hosted on Cloudflare, which processes ordinary web requests and may keep standard server logs under its own policy. Google Analytics is operated by Google. Links to retailers and other sites are covered by their own policies.
