A cookie is a small text file a website stores on your device. We only set the minimum needed to make the site work and to understand (in aggregate, never personally) how people use it.

Essential cookies

Analytics cookies

We use PostHog for privacy-respecting analytics. No advertising, no cross-site tracking, no data sold to third parties.

To opt out of PostHog, use the opt-out link at us.i.posthog.com/opt-out or enable “Do Not Track” in your browser — we honor that signal.

Third-party cookies (after you leave Gearfinch)

When you click a deal and land on a retailer’s site, that retailer — and the affiliate network between us and them — typically sets their own cookies to credit Gearfinch with your potential purchase. These cookies are governed by their own privacy policies, not ours. We have no access to them.

How to disable cookies

Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies. Blocking essential cookies may break features of the site (the pre-launch gate, admin login). Blocking analytics cookies will not affect anything you can see — the site will work identically.

  • Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Block all cookies.
