Information the site may collect

FoldCompare does not require reader accounts or collect purchase details. Hosting, analytics and advertising providers may process IP addresses, browser and device information, approximate location, referrers, page views, advertising identifiers and interaction events.

  • Vercel Analytics may be used to understand aggregate site usage.
  • Google Analytics may be used to measure page views, traffic sources, approximate location, device information and interaction events.
  • Third-party vendors, including Google, may place and read cookies on a browser or use web beacons, IP addresses and similar identifiers to serve and measure ads.
  • Server and CDN logs may process IP addresses, user agents and request URLs for security and reliability.

Advertising and cookies

Google uses advertising cookies to help serve ads based on a reader's prior visits to FoldCompare or other websites. Depending on region and consent, Google and its partners may use data to serve, measure and personalize advertising.

  • Visitors in the EEA, United Kingdom and Switzerland receive a Google-certified consent message with Accept, Reject and Manage options.
  • Consent Mode defaults advertising and analytics storage to denied in those regions until the visitor makes a choice.
  • Browser privacy controls, cookie blocking and ad blockers may affect ad delivery.
  • Advertising relationships do not control FoldCompare rankings, scores or recommendations.

Analytics and consent choices

Google Analytics 4 measures site usage without creating a FoldCompare account. Vercel Analytics provides aggregate traffic information. Where consent is required, analytics storage follows the choice submitted through the consent message.

  • Google Analytics may process device, session, page, referral and approximate-location data.
  • A visitor can reject optional storage in the consent message, clear site cookies or use browser privacy controls.
  • Consent can be changed by clearing the site's consent cookie and reopening the site to make a new choice.
