Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 21, 2026

LymphaticLeggingsGuide.com is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what data we collect, how we collect it, and what rights you have.

Analytics & Tools We Use

This website uses Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to collect anonymous, aggregated traffic data, such as pages visited, session duration, and general geographic region. GA4 is loaded only after you explicitly grant consent via our cookie banner.

We use Google Consent Mode v2, which defaults all analytics and advertising consent signals to denied until you make a choice. This means no analytics data is collected and no Google scripts are loaded before you opt in.

Your consent preference is stored in your browser's localStorage (under the key cookieConsent) so the site can remember your choice on future visits. This is not a cookie, it is a simple key-value entry that never leaves your browser.

We do not use any third-party cookie consent libraries (such as Cookiebot, Klaro, or CookieHub). Our consent system is custom-built and runs entirely within this website.

How Cookie Consent Works

• On your first visit, a consent banner appears at the bottom of the page.
• You can choose Allow analytics, Deny, or open Settings for more control.
• If you deny or dismiss the banner, no analytics cookies are set and no GA4 scripts are loaded.
• If you allow analytics, GA4 is loaded and begins collecting anonymous traffic data for that session and future visits.
• You can change your preference at any time by clicking the Cookie Settings link in the footer of every page.

Cookies & Storage

Essential (always active)

A small browser cookie (sidebar:state) may be set to remember UI preferences such as sidebar open/closed state. This cookie contains no personal data and expires after 7 days.

Analytics (only after consent)

When you grant analytics consent, Google Analytics 4 sets its own cookies (e.g. _ga, _ga_*) to distinguish unique visitors and sessions. These are first-party cookies managed by Google. No GA4 cookies are set if you deny consent.

Marketing & advertising cookies

None. This website does not use any marketing, advertising, retargeting, or profiling cookies. We do not run ads. Google Consent Mode signals for ad_storage, ad_user_data, and ad_personalization are always set to denied.

What Google Analytics Collects

When analytics consent is granted, GA4 collects:

• Pages visited and time spent on each page
• General geographic region (country/city level, not precise location)
• Device type, browser, and operating system
• Referral source (how you arrived at the site)

GA4 does not collect your name, email address, or any personally identifiable information through our implementation. IP addresses are anonymised by Google by default in GA4.

Affiliate Links

This site contains affiliate links to products on Amazon and other retailers. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases. When you click an affiliate link, the destination site (e.g. Amazon) may set its own cookies, this is governed by their privacy policy, not ours. We do not receive any personal data about your purchases.

Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with any third party. Anonymous, aggregated analytics data is processed by Google under their privacy policy.

Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Withdraw consent, click "Cookie Settings" in the footer at any time to change your analytics preference.
• Object to analytics tracking, deny analytics via the cookie banner or settings panel and no data will be collected.
• Request deletion, contact us to request deletion of any personal data we hold. For data collected by Google Analytics, you can use Google's opt-out browser add-on or contact us and we will submit a deletion request on your behalf.
• Access your data, contact us to request a copy of any personal information we hold about you.

Third-Party Services

Beyond Google Analytics (loaded only with consent), we may use the following services which have their own privacy policies:

• Kit / ConvertKit, email newsletter delivery (only if you subscribe)
• Formspree, contact form processing
• Amazon Associates, affiliate link tracking (managed by Amazon on their domain)
