NewGearHub does not require user accounts or collect personal information directly. However, third-party services integrated into our website may collect certain data as described below.

2. Google AdSense

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on our website. Google AdSense may use cookies and web beacons to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.

You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.

3. Amazon Affiliate Program

NewGearHub is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.

4. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Analytics and Performance Cookies. We use Supabase and, in some cases, third-party analytics services to understand how visitors use our site.

Analytics data is retained for a maximum of 90 days.

Affiliate Tracking Cookies. When you click an Amazon affiliate link, a cookie is set by Amazon's associate program to track the referral. This cookie is valid for 24 hours. If you complete a purchase within that window, a small commission may be earned at no additional cost to you. Amazon's cookie policy governs their data collection; refer to Amazon's Privacy Notice for details.

Advertising Cookies. Google AdSense uses cookies to serve personalized ads based on your browsing history and interests.

• Pages visited and content consumed
• Search queries and clicks on Google services
• Device and browser type, unique device identifiers
• Location data inferred from IP address
