Cookie and local storage policy.

The core analyzer works without an account. Some browser storage and advertising technologies may be used when optional features or ads are enabled.

Local storage

DealScan uses browser local storage to keep scan history, saved comparisons, and watchlist items on your device. This helps the dashboard work without requiring an account.

Analytics cookies

If you accept all cookies, DealScan loads Google Analytics to understand which pages people find useful, and Google sets cookies to measure visits and recognize repeat visitors. Choose necessary only and Google Analytics is never loaded at all. Either way, the listings you analyze are never sent to Google.

Our own visit counter

DealScan counts page views using a random id kept in sessionStorage that is erased when you close the tab. It sets no cookies, collects no personal data, and is never shared, so it runs whichever cookie choice you make.

Advertising cookies

When advertising is enabled, third-party vendors including Google may use cookies to serve ads based on visits to DealScan or other websites. Google and its partners may use advertising cookies to personalize, measure, and improve ad delivery.

Affiliate links

Some outbound buyer-tool links may be affiliate links. The destination site may use its own cookies, tracking, and privacy practices after you click through.

Your choices

The banner on your first visit lets you accept all cookies or take necessary only, and nothing that sets a cookie loads until you choose. To change your mind later, clear DealScan site data in your browser and the banner will appear again. You can also manage Google ad personalization through Google Ad Settings or opt out of some personalized advertising through industry opt-out tools.

For EEA, UK, and Switzerland visitors, Google requires a certified Consent Management Platform for AdSense. Do not enable ads for those regions until AdSense Privacy & Messaging or another Google-certified CMP is configured in the ad account.

Manage Google ad personalization at Google Ad Settings. You can also visit AboutAds choices for participating third-party opt-outs.
