CK's Anti-Tracking Philosophy
I fight BS in AI tools, and that includes BS tracking practices. We use the absolute minimum cookies necessary to make the site work. No behavioral tracking, no advertising cookies, no selling your data to sketchy data brokers.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device to remember information about you. Think of them like digital sticky notes that help websites recognize you when you come back.
How We Use Cookies
🍪 Our Cookie Promise
We only use cookies that are actually necessary. Here's our complete list:
- • Authentication cookies: Keep you logged in (essential)
- • Preference cookies: Remember your settings (helpful)
- • Analytics cookies: Anonymous usage data only (minimal)
That's it. No advertising, no behavioral tracking, no third-party nonsense.
Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies (Required)
These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly:
- Session Management:
- • Keep you logged in while browsing
- • Remember your review drafts
- • Maintain your preferences during your visit
- Security:
- • Protect against fake requests (CSRF protection)
- • Verify your identity for account changes
- • Prevent unauthorized access
Note: You cannot disable these cookies because the site won't work without them.
Preference Cookies (Optional)
These cookies remember your choices to improve your experience:
- Theme Settings:
- • Light/dark mode preference
- • Display density settings
- Content Preferences:
- • Favorite tool categories
- • Search filter defaults
- • Notification preferences
You can disable these in your browser settings, but you'll need to reset your preferences each visit.
Analytics Cookies (Anonymous)
We use minimal analytics to understand how people use the site:
- What We Track:
- • Which pages are most popular
- • How long people spend reading reviews
- • Where people get confused or leave
- • General geographic regions (country level only)
- What We DON'T Track:
- • Individual browsing behavior
- • Personal information or identifiers
- • Activity across other websites
- • Detailed location data
All analytics data is anonymized. We can't connect it back to you personally.
Cookies We DON'T Use
🚫 What We Reject
Unlike most websites, we deliberately avoid these invasive practices:
- • Advertising cookies: No ad tracking or targeting
- • Social media pixels: No Facebook, Google, LinkedIn tracking
- • Behavioral tracking: No building profiles of your interests
- • Cross-site tracking: No following you around the web
- • Marketing automation: No creepy retargeting campaigns
- • Data broker integration: We don't sell or share your data
