What this site collects, which is not much, and what happens to it.
Gear for the Weekend does not have accounts, a login, a newsletter or a shopping cart. There is nothing here for you to sign up to, so there is very little about you for this site to hold. What does happen is ordinary web analytics and affiliate tracking, described below.
This site uses Google Analytics 4 to count visits and see which guides people read. It records things like the pages you view, roughly where in the world you are, your browser and device type, and the site or search that sent you. It is configured to report in aggregate; I cannot see who you are from it. Google's own handling of that data is covered by the Google Privacy Policy.
The site also runs AnyTrack, which attributes outbound affiliate clicks to the page they came from, so I can tell which guides are useful.
Links to retailers on this site are affiliate links. When you follow one, the retailer — most often Amazon — may set a cookie recording that you arrived from here, so that any purchase you make is credited to this site. That cookie is set and read by the retailer, not by me, and it is subject to their privacy policy, not this one. Amazon's is the Amazon Privacy Notice.
As an Amazon Associate, Gear for the Weekend earns from qualifying purchases.
Mail sent to info@gearfortheweekend.com arrives in an ordinary mailbox. I keep it so I can reply and so I can check whether a correction was made. I do not add you to any list, because there is no list.
This site is written for adults buying outdoor equipment and is not directed at children under 13, and I do not knowingly collect anything from them.
If this policy changes the date below changes with it. There is no archive; what is on this page is what applies.
