Privacy Policy
How we handle your data on What Could You Buy Instead?
Last updated: June 2026
This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you use What Could You Buy Instead? (the "Site"), how we use it, and your choices. Because this is a free entertainment tool with no accounts or purchases, we keep things very simple.
Information We Collect
We do not ask you to create an account or provide personal information to use the Site. We may collect standard technical data automatically — such as your browser type, operating system, referring URL, pages viewed, and approximate location derived from your IP address — through analytics cookies. We never collect your name, email address, or payment details.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
We use a small number of cookies to keep the Site working smoothly and to understand how visitors use it in aggregate. Essential cookies are strictly necessary for the Site to function (for example, storing your cookie consent choice). Analytics cookies help us see which features are popular so we can improve them. You can accept or decline non-essential cookies via the cookie banner when you first visit, and you can change your mind any time from the footer link.
Third-Party Services
We may use third-party analytics providers (such as an aggregated statistics service) to help us understand Site usage. These providers may set their own cookies and process data subject to their own privacy policies. We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with advertisers or data brokers.
Your Choices
Because we collect no personal accounts or identifiable data beyond standard server logs, there is nothing to delete or export. You may decline analytics cookies at any time using the cookie banner in the footer. You can also clear all Site cookies via your browser settings at any time without losing any functionality — the Site works fully without cookies.
