What this site collects
Real Price Drops has no visitor accounts, no sign-up forms and no newsletter, and it does not use analytics or advertising cookies. Browsing the deals sets no cookies at all.
Like every website, our web host (DreamHost) keeps standard server logs: your IP address, your browser type, the page you asked for and the time. They are used only to keep the site running and secure, and are deleted by the host on its usual schedule.
To learn which deals people like, the site keeps simple daily totals, without cookies: page views, visitors, how many times each deal's page is opened and its links to Amazon are clicked, and the kind of place visitors came from (such as Instagram or a search engine). To count a person once a day, your IP address and browser type are scrambled with a random key that is deleted each day, and only that scrambled code is kept until the day ends. It cannot be used to recognise you from one day to the next, and your IP address is not saved for this.
The site's private admin pages, used only by the people who run Real Price Drops, set a sign-in cookie for those people. Visitors never see or receive it.
Amazon and affiliate links
As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. The links to Amazon on this site carry our Associates tracking ID, so Amazon can tell that you came from Real Price Drops. When you click one, you leave this site and Amazon's own privacy notice applies.
Third parties, including Amazon and other advertisers, may serve content and advertisements, collect information directly from visitors, and place or recognize cookies on your browser. We do not control those cookies and never see what Amazon collects. Product details, prices and photos shown here come from Amazon.
Opting out of interest-based ads
You can block or delete cookies in your browser's settings. To opt out of interest-based advertising from companies that take part in the industry programmes, visit optout.aboutads.info (United States) or youradchoices.ca (Canada).
Children
This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.
