Privacy Policy

Who we are

This site is markspcparts.com, a personal site for buying, selling, and writing about enthusiast PC hardware. It's run by one person based in Redlands, CA. You can reach me through the contact page.

What data is collected

This site uses Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors find and use the site — things like which pages are viewed, how long people stay, and what country they're in. This only runs if you accept cookies.

Google Analytics collects anonymized data including your approximate location (city/country level), browser type, device type, pages visited, and time spent. It does not collect your name, email, or any information that directly identifies you.

No other analytics or tracking services are used. No ads. No third-party trackers embedded in the content.

Cookies

If you accept cookies, Google Analytics sets cookies in your browser to track session activity. If you decline, no cookies are set and no data is sent to Google. Your preference is saved in your browser's local storage.

See the cookie policy for the full breakdown.

How data is used

Analytics data is used only to understand how the site is being used — which posts get read, where visitors come from, that kind of thing. It is not sold, shared with advertisers, or used for any purpose beyond improving this site.

Third parties

If you accept analytics cookies, data is processed by Google under their own privacy policy. You can read about how Google handles Analytics data at policies.google.com/privacy.

This site may link to external sites (eBay listings, etc.). Those sites have their own privacy policies and are not covered here.

Your rights

You can withdraw cookie consent at any time by clearing your browser's local storage for this site, or by using your browser's built-in privacy tools. If you decline analytics cookies, no data about your visit is collected.

If you have questions about your data, use the contact page.

Changes to this policy

If anything material changes about how data is collected or used, this page will be updated with a new date at the top.
