At The Frugal Person, we value your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect and how it is used. While we do not directly collect personal data for marketing, we use industry-standard tools to help the site function.
1. Information Collection
We do not require you to create an account or provide personal details to browse our site. However, certain technical data is collected automatically:
- Log Files: Like most websites, we use log files (IP addresses, browser type, ISP, etc.) to analyze trends and administer the site.
- Affiliate Links (Lasso): We use Lasso to manage affiliate links. When you click on a deal, a tracking cookie may be placed by the merchant to ensure we receive credit for the referral.
2. Cookies and Tracking
Even though we do not manually set cookies, the following third-party services used on this site may deploy them:
- Google Analytics: We use this to understand how visitors interact with the site (e.g., which pages are popular). This data is anonymized and helps us improve the user experience.
- WordPress & Yoast: These tools may use functional cookies to manage site performance and SEO settings.
- Lasso: Used to track clicks on “finds” and “deals” for affiliate purposes.
3. Third-Party Services
We may link to external websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties. We recommend reviewing their policies when you leave our site.
4. Data Security
