Data we intentionally do not collect
The public site has no account system, comments or payment form. The VPS selector and cost calculators run in your browser and do not transmit their inputs to SmarterBuyLab or Google Analytics.
Infrastructure logs
The site is delivered through Cloudflare Pages. Cloudflare may process request data such as IP address, user agent and security signals to deliver and protect the service under its own terms. SmarterBuyLab does not operate a public origin server for site traffic.
Limited analytics
Google Analytics measures aggregate page visits and clicks on marked offer links. Outside the European Economic Area, United Kingdom and Switzerland, basic measurement may use first-party analytics cookies such as _ga. Analytics storage stays denied for visitors in those restricted regions and for browsers that send Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track signals. Advertising storage, advertising user data, ad personalization and Google Signals remain disabled everywhere.
The custom offer-click event contains only the provider name, placement label and page path; it does not include account details, form data, calculator inputs or private identity information. Browsers and content blockers may block analytics requests. Google processes received analytics data under its own privacy policy.
Affiliate links
When you follow a marked offer link, the destination provider or affiliate network may set cookies or process referral parameters according to its own privacy policy. We do not control the destination website.
Local preferences
Your color-theme preference is stored locally in your browser under sbl-theme.
