Privacy Policy

Last updated: 17 January 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how PillowsRated.com (“Pillows Rated”, “we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses, and shares information when you visit or interact with our website (the “Site”).

Quick summary: We collect basic analytics and device data (often via cookies) to improve content, measure performance, and track when visitors click outbound links to partner sites. We do not sell sensitive personal information in the sense of “handing over your identity”, but some advertising/analytics tools may treat certain cookie sharing as a “sale” or “sharing” under specific laws. You can opt out (details below).

1) What we do

Pillows Rated publishes informational content and product comparisons. Some links on the Site may be affiliate links, meaning we may receive compensation if you click a link and later make a purchase on a partner’s website.

2) Information we collect

a) Information you provide

Contact details if you email us or submit a form (e.g., name, email, message content).
Any information you choose to include in your message.

b) Information collected automatically

Device and browser data (device type, OS, browser version, language).
Usage data (pages viewed, time on page, clicks, referring/exit pages).
Approximate location (derived from IP address; not precise GPS location).
Identifiers stored in cookies or similar technologies (for analytics and advertising measurement).

c) Outbound click + attribution parameters

When you click outbound links, URLs may include tracking parameters (e.g., campaign or click IDs) so we can measure which content and traffic sources perform best. These parameters may be stored in cookies/local storage to maintain attribution across pages.

3) Cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies, local storage, pixels, and similar technologies for:

Essential functions (site performance, basic security).
Analytics (understanding traffic and improving content).
Advertising measurement (measuring ad performance, frequency, attribution).
Personalization (remembering preferences where applicable).

You can control cookies in your browser settings.

You can clear site storage at any time.

4) How we use information

Operate and maintain the Site.
Improve content, layout, and user experience.
Measure performance of pages, comparisons, and outbound links.
Detect and prevent fraud, abuse, or security issues.
Respond to messages and provide support.
Comply with legal obligations.

5) How we share information

We may share information in these situations:

Service providers who help run the Site (hosting, analytics, security, support tools).
Advertising/analytics partners to measure and optimize campaigns (where enabled).
Affiliate/commerce partners when you click through to a partner website (their policies apply there).
Legal when required to comply with law or protect rights/safety.
Business changes (merger, acquisition, or asset sale).

6) Third-party websites

Our Site links to third-party websites. If you click through to a partner site, their privacy practices govern your information on that site. We recommend reviewing their privacy policy before providing personal information.

7) Your choices & opt-outs

Cookies: Adjust browser settings to block or delete cookies.
Interest-based ads: You may be able to opt out via industry tools (availability varies by region).
Email: If we ever send email updates (only if you request them), you can opt out at any time.

8) Data retention

We keep information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described above, unless a longer retention period is required by law or for legitimate business needs (e.g., security, fraud prevention, dispute resolution).

9) Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10) Children’s privacy

The Site is not intended for children under 13 (or the minimum age required by local law). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

11) Health & content disclaimer

Content on Pillows Rated is for general information only and is not medical advice. We are not doctors. Any comfort, support, or sleep-related information is educational and not a substitute for professional diagnosis or treatment. If you have persistent or worsening symptoms, consult a qualified healthcare professional.

12) Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date.
