Who We Are

BinoGuide (https://binoguide.com) is an independent editorial site that publishes binocular reviews, comparisons, and buying guides. We participate in the Amazon Associates Program, which means we earn commissions when you purchase products through our affiliate links. This participation does not affect our editorial independence or the honesty of our reviews. The most common question we get about privacy is whether affiliate links track personal data — they do not.

Information We Collect

We do not collect personal information such as names, email addresses, or payment details through the general use of this site. We do not require account creation or login to access any content.

The information we do collect is limited to standard analytics data gathered automatically when you visit:

This data is aggregated and anonymized. We use it to understand which content is most helpful and to improve the site. We cannot identify individual visitors from this data.

Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. BinoGuide uses a limited number of cookies:

Analytics Cookies

We use Google Analytics (GA4) to measure site traffic and understand how visitors interact with our content. Google Analytics sets cookies including _ga and _ga_* to distinguish unique visitors and track sessions. These cookies do not contain personal information. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Affiliate Cookies

When you click an affiliate link to Amazon, Amazon sets its own cookies on your device to track the referral. These cookies are governed by Amazon's Privacy Notice, not ours. We have no access to or control over the cookies Amazon places. We recommend reviewing Amazon's privacy notice for full details on their cookie practices.

Functional Cookies

We may store a small preference cookie (such as your theme selection between light and dark mode) locally in your browser. This data never leaves your device and is not transmitted to any server.

Amazon Associates Program

BinoGuide 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 a product link and make a purchase on Amazon, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you.

Product prices, availability, ratings, and delivery estimates displayed on this site are sourced from Amazon and are subject to change. The price you see on Amazon at the time of purchase is the price you pay. We do not set or control Amazon's pricing.

Third-Party Links

Our site contains links to external websites, primarily Amazon.com. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these external sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party site you visit through our links.

Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or transfer your information to third parties. The analytics data collected through Google Analytics is processed by Google under their privacy policy. We do not combine analytics data with any personally identifiable information.

Children's Privacy

BinoGuide is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children. If you believe a child has provided information to us, please contact us so we can remove it.
