Analytics without cookies
I Want Vegan uses Plausible Analytics, a privacy-focused tool that works without cookies and without collecting personal data. It gives us aggregate numbers only: which pages were visited, which sites referred them, country-level location, and device type. We can see that a page was read; we cannot see who read it.
Plausible also counts outbound clicks. When an affiliate link is clicked, an event records the destination URL (with its query parameters stripped) and the page it was clicked from — no user identifiers attached. It tells us which recommendations are useful, not who found them useful.
Affiliate links and Amazon's cookies
This site sets no cookies. Amazon does: when you click one of our Amazon affiliate links, you leave for amazon.com, and Amazon sets cookies in your browser so that qualifying purchases can be attributed to this site. That happens on Amazon's side and is governed by Amazon's Privacy Notice. Affiliate links here are marked as sponsored and disclosed near the products they support.
Local storage on your device
Two convenience features keep their state in your browser's local storage: recent searches in the search overlay, and product selections in the compare tool on collection pages. That data stays on your device and is never transmitted to us. Clearing your browser data removes it.
What does not exist here
- No user accounts and no newsletter — nothing to sign up for, so no signup data.
- No comment system.
- No advertising networks, tracking pixels, or social-media embeds.
- No selling or sharing of personal data — we do not have any to sell.
If you email us
Email sent to support@iwantvegan.com is used only to read and answer your message. Your address is not added to any list. If you want a past email deleted, say so and it will be.
Hosting
The site is a set of static pages served through Amazon CloudFront (AWS). Like any web infrastructure, the servers that deliver pages process standard technical data — such as IP addresses — to route requests and protect against abuse. We do not use that data to identify visitors.
Your data, your rights
If you ask what this site holds about you, the honest answer is: almost certainly nothing beyond any email you have sent us. For access, correction, or deletion requests — or any other privacy question — email support@iwantvegan.com. One person reads that inbox, so replies are not instant, but requests are honored.
