Cookies and Tracking
We use cookies and similar technologies to remember preferences and measure performance. You can control cookies via your browser settings. Disabling cookies may limit certain features.
Analytics
We may use privacy‑focused analytics that collect aggregated, non‑identifying usage metrics. Where third‑party analytics are used, their processing and cookies are subject to their policies.
Affiliate Disclosure

This revenue helps fund independent testing and does not influence our scores or recommendations. We follow FTC guidelines and clearly label commercial relationships where required.

If we display ads, they will be context‑relevant and designed to minimize tracking. Any third‑party ad partners must adhere to applicable privacy regulations.

- Authorities when required by law
- Successors in the event of a merger, acquisition, or asset transfer, subject to this Policy
Data Retention
- Fitment Finder inputs: stored in anonymized or pseudonymized form for trend analysis; raw submissions with contact details are retained only as long as needed to respond and improve tools.

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or port your data, and to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise rights, email [email protected]. You may withdraw cookie consent at any time via your browser or site controls.
