Cookie Notice
TechGearPilot uses a Google AdSense script for site verification and review. Google may use cookies or similar technologies for advertising, measurement and fraud prevention when those features are active.
This notice should be read with our Privacy Policy.
Cookies and similar technologies
A cookie is a small value a website can store in a browser and receive with later requests. Other technologies, such as local storage, can retain information on a device. Browser caching also saves files to improve loading speed. These functions are different from a contact submission stored in the site's backend database.
Our current site
The editorial pages, mobile menu and browser-based article search do not require an advertising identifier or an account cookie. Site search is processed locally in your browser. The separate AdSense integration sends page and device information to Google and may support advertising features when enabled. Necessary page requests still reach the hosting provider, and a search term included in a requested URL may appear in ordinary technical logs.
Images, styles and article-index files may be cached by your browser. A cached file is not evidence that we are tracking your activity across websites. Contact and newsletter form records are stored on the server as described in the Privacy Policy, rather than as a marketing cookie in your browser.
Audience measurement
Cloudflare Web Analytics measures visits and loading performance without analytics cookies, local storage or fingerprinting. Our loader respects Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control signals. Charging-planner inputs stay in the current browser tab. Analytics is excluded from search, contact and unsubscribe pages.
Cloudflare security
Cloudflare provides hosting, delivery and protection for the site. Depending on the security checks required for a request, its services may use necessary cookies or similar signals to distinguish legitimate traffic from abuse. These are not used by TechGearPilot to build advertising audiences. Provider behavior can depend on the request and security configuration; we do not promise that every visitor receives exactly the same cookies.
Cloudflare explains its data processing in its Privacy Policy. We review this notice when our configuration materially changes.
External websites and affiliate links
Following a manufacturer, retailer or source link leaves TechGearPilot. That destination may use its own cookies, analytics, login systems and advertising technologies. Those are governed by its policies. At launch, product links do not include TechGearPilot affiliate tracking identifiers; future program participation will be reflected in our Affiliate Disclosure and relevant content.
Google advertising technologies
Google AdSense is connected using publisher ID pub-9783969722821788. The script is used for verification and review; approval and ad serving depend on Google and the account configuration. While the Google consent message is not yet published, we withhold the AdSense script for visitors identified as being in the EEA, UK or Switzerland, or where a location is unavailable. Google and its partners may store or access cookies or similar identifiers when advertising features are active. Learn more about Google's use of information on partner sites and manage available preferences in My Ad Center.
Your controls
You can inspect, block or remove cookies and local storage using your browser's privacy settings. You can also clear cached files and browsing history. Blocking necessary security technologies may prevent a form or protected page from working. The site does not require optional advertising tracking as a condition of reading.
If optional analytics or marketing tools are introduced, this notice and the appropriate controls will be updated before those tools are used where consent is required. For questions about a cookie or a privacy request, use Contact Us and include the page and cookie name if known.
