The Rational Prepper

Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly to us, such as when you create an account, subscribe to our newsletter, or contact us. This may include your name, email address, and any other information you choose to provide.

Cookies and Site Measurement

We use only the cookies the site needs to work: a single session cookie that remembers your language, protects forms, and keeps the site's interactive features and sign-in working. Your light or dark theme choice is saved in your browser. We do not use advertising cookies or cookies that follow you across other websites.

We count visits ourselves, on our own server, without cookies. We keep only daily totals: how many times each page was viewed, which websites (domain name only) send visitors here, and how many times product links to Amazon were clicked. These totals do not identify you, and we do not store your IP address or browser details with them.

If your browser sends a Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signal, we do not count your visit.

We do not use Google Analytics or any other third-party analytics or advertising trackers. When you follow a product link to Amazon, you leave this site, and Amazon's own privacy notice and cookies apply there.

Like most websites, our hosting and security services process technical request data, such as IP addresses, to deliver the site and protect it from abuse.
