Privacy Policy
Editorial and affiliate note: GrokTechGadgets uses affiliate links in some guides. If you buy through those links, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. That compensation does not change rankings, picks, or scoring. Read the full Affiliate Disclosure.
GrokTechGadgets is an informational site focused on AI laptops, AI hardware, and related performance-first buying guidance. This page explains what site-usage data may be collected, how cookies and analytics work, and what choices readers have.
What we collect
- Basic device and browser information
- Pages visited and approximate time on site
- Referring pages or traffic sources
- Approximate location such as country or region
- Clicks that help us understand which guides are useful
What we do not knowingly collect
- Sensitive personal information
- Payment card information
- Private account passwords
- Special-category personal data for site browsing
Analytics
We use tools such as Google Analytics 4 and Google Tag Manager to understand how visitors interact with the site. Those services may collect anonymized or pseudonymized usage information such as pageviews, session length, device class, operating system, browser type, and general geographic region.
We use that information to improve navigation, understand which AI guides help readers most, identify broken pages, and make performance or content updates. We do not use analytics data to sell readers personal profiles.
Cookies and similar technologies
Cookies are small data files stored on your device. We may use cookies or similar browser technologies to remember basic site preferences, measure aggregate usage, understand traffic sources, and evaluate whether certain guides or retailer links are working as expected.
- Necessary cookies: help core site functions work correctly.
- Measurement cookies: help us understand traffic, page performance, and site usage patterns.
- Affiliate tracking cookies: may be set by third-party retailers after you click an outbound product link.
You can usually control or remove cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies may change how some features behave.
Affiliate links and outbound retailers
Some pages include affiliate links to retailers or marketplaces. When you click one of those links, the retailer may use its own cookies or tracking methods under its own privacy policy. GrokTechGadgets does not control those third-party policies.
Our editorial framework is workload-first and ranking-first. Affiliate relationships do not determine what products appear, how pages are ordered, or which trade-offs we call out. For more, see Disclosure and How We Evaluate.
