Effective date: July 5, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how bestoftbest.com (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit our website. We are a tech and gaming product review site, and we are committed to handling your information transparently and to collecting as little personal information as possible. Our site does not offer visitor accounts, and we do not operate a newsletter at this time.
Information We Collect
Information Collected Automatically (With Your Consent)
If you accept analytics cookies through our cookie consent banner, we collect usage data via Google Analytics 4. This may include pages viewed, time spent on the site, approximate geographic location (city or region level), device and browser type, referral source, and interactions with our content. This data is aggregated and pseudonymous; we do not use it to identify you personally. If you decline consent, analytics measurement does not run.
Information You Provide Voluntarily
If you contact us by email, we receive the information you choose to share, such as your email address, name, and the contents of your message. We use this information only to respond to your inquiry.
How We Use Your Information
- To understand how visitors use our site and to improve our content, layout, and performance
- To respond to questions, feedback, or requests sent to us by email
- To maintain the security and proper functioning of the website
- To comply with applicable legal obligations
We do not sell personal information, and we do not use your information for purposes unrelated to operating this website.
Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies in a limited way. Analytics cookies are set only after you give consent through our cookie banner, which implements Google Consent Mode v2. Strictly necessary cookies (such as those that remember your consent choice) may be set without consent because they are required for the site to function. You can change or withdraw your cookie preferences at any time. For full details about the cookies we use and how to manage them, see our Cookie Policy.
Third-Party Services
Google Analytics 4
We use Google Analytics 4, provided by Google LLC, to measure site traffic and usage. It runs only after you consent via our cookie banner, and consent signals are passed to Google through Google Consent Mode v2. Google processes this data on our behalf. You can learn more in Google’s Privacy Policy or opt out using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
UserWay Accessibility Widget
We use the UserWay accessibility widget to help make our site more accessible. The widget may store your accessibility preferences (such as text size or contrast settings) locally so they persist between visits. UserWay’s handling of data is described in its own privacy policy.
Amazon Associates Program
As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases. bestoftbest.com is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. When you click an affiliate link on our site, you are taken to Amazon.com, and Amazon may set cookies on its own domain to attribute your purchase. Once you leave our site, your activity is governed by Amazon’s privacy notice, not this policy.
Consent and How to Withdraw It
Analytics on this site operates on an opt-in basis. When you first visit, our consent banner asks whether you accept analytics cookies; nothing optional is set until you agree. You may withdraw or change your consent at any time by clicking the cookie icon on our site, after which analytics tracking will stop for future visits. You may also clear cookies through your browser settings.
US State Privacy Rights (CCPA/CPRA)
If you are a resident of California or another US state with a comprehensive privacy law, you may have the following rights, subject to applicable conditions:
- Right to know what personal information we collect and how it is used
- Right to delete personal information we hold about you (for example, emails you have sent us)
- Right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information
- Right to non-discrimination for exercising your privacy rights
We do not sell personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. Analytics runs only with your consent, so you can prevent it entirely by declining cookies. To exercise any of these rights, email us at bestoftbest.service@gmail.com and we will respond within the timeframe required by law.
Children’s Privacy
This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children, consistent with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
Data Retention
We retain analytics data for the standard retention period configured in Google Analytics 4 (currently up to 14 months), after which it is deleted or aggregated. Emails you send us are kept only as long as needed to handle your inquiry and for reasonable record-keeping, then deleted.
International Visitors (GDPR)
Although our site is intended for a US audience, visitors from the European Economic Area and the UK have rights under the GDPR, including access, rectification, erasure, and objection. Our legal basis for analytics processing is your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR), which you may withdraw at any time as described above. Contact by email is processed on the basis of our legitimate interest in responding to you.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date, and continued use of the site after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
