Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 9, 2026

This privacy policy explains what information is collected when you visit scentpairing.com (“Scent Pairing”, “we”, “us”), how it is used and what choices you have. We keep it short and in plain English.

What we collect

We don’t ask you for personal information. You can use the layering finder, the pair checker and every guide without creating an account or giving us your name or email. The finder and pair checker run in your browser; the notes you pick are not sent to us.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we collect some technical information when you visit:

• Analytics. We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how people use the site, such as which pages are visited, how long people stay, the type of device and browser, and the approximate location (country or city level). Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to do this. Learn more in how Google uses information from sites that use its services.
• Hosting logs. Our hosting provider, Vercel, processes technical data such as your IP address, browser type and the pages requested, so the site can be delivered securely and reliably.
• Visit counts. We also use Vercel Web Analytics to count page views. It doesn’t use cookies or store anything on your device, and it doesn’t identify you: it records the page, the referring site, the country and the type of device and browser. See Vercel’s privacy notice for Web Analytics.
• Fonts. Our fonts are hosted on our own server. Loading them does not connect you to any third party.

If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you choose to include in your message. We use it only to reply to you.

How we use information

We use this information to keep the site running, to understand which guides are useful, to fix problems and to improve the site. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it to build profiles of individual visitors.

Cookies and your consent

Cookies are small files stored by your browser. Google Analytics sets cookies to tell visits apart and measure how the site is used.

• Visitors in Europe (the EU, the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland) are asked first. Google Analytics only runs if you click “Accept”. If you click “Decline”, or don’t choose, no analytics cookies are set.
• Visitors elsewhere get Google Analytics by default. You can turn it off at any time.

You can change your choice whenever you like with the Cookie settings link at the bottom of every page. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings, or install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. The site works normally without cookies.

Your consent choice itself is saved in your browser’s local storage so we don’t ask again on every page.

Advertising and affiliate links

The site does not currently show ads. If we add an advertising partner in the future, we will update this policy before ads appear, including how that partner uses cookies and how you can opt out.

Some pages may contain affiliate links. When you click one, the retailer or affiliate network may set its own cookies to record that you came from our site. See our affiliate disclosure.

Third-party links

Our guides may link to other websites. We are not responsible for their privacy practices, so please review their policies when you visit them.

How long we keep data

Google Analytics data is kept for the retention period set in our Google Analytics account (currently up to 14 months). Emails are kept only as long as needed to handle your request.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct or delete personal information about you, to object to or restrict certain processing, and to withdraw consent. This includes rights under the EU and UK GDPR and under US state privacy laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). Because we don’t collect names or contact details unless you email us, in most cases we hold very little that can identify you. To make a request, email us at jorbracas@gmail.com.

Children

This site is meant for a general adult audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the site changes. When we do, we’ll change the “last updated” date at the top of this page.
