Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 27, 2026

Who We Are

Scented Chemistry (scentedchemistry.com) is a fragrance education and recommendation website. We are committed to protecting your privacy.

Information We Collect

We do not require account creation or collect personal information directly. Our site may collect limited, non-personally-identifiable information through:

  • Self-hosted analytics — We use a lightweight self-hosted analytics system to understand which pages and links are most useful to readers. This system does not use cookies, does not track individual users, and does not collect personal data. We record only anonymous, aggregate page views and link clicks — no IP addresses, device fingerprints, or personal information is stored.
  • Google Analytics 4 (GA4) — We also use Google Analytics 4 to measure overall traffic and engagement trends across the site. GA4 sets its own cookies and may collect data including approximate location (city level), device type, browser, referrer, and pages visited. IP addresses are anonymized by default. Data is retained by Google for up to 14 months. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on or by enabling Do Not Track / Global Privacy Control in your browser. Read more in Google's Privacy Policy.
  • Cookies — Our own site does not set any first-party cookies. Google Analytics sets cookies (typically prefixed _ga and _gid) for the purpose described above. Third-party services such as Amazon may set their own cookies when you click an affiliate link.

Affiliate Links & Third-Party Services

Our site contains affiliate links. For details on how we use them, see our Affiliate Disclosure.

When you click an affiliate link, the relevant third party may collect information in accordance with their own privacy policies. We recommend reviewing:

Data Sharing

Children's Privacy

Our website is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children.
