Privacy and measurement

Privacy Policy

Smells Like Wood collects only the information needed to operate the site, understand which odor guides are useful, maintain affiliate disclosures, and respond when readers contact us.

Information we may collect

  • Basic analytics such as page views, referring pages, device type, browser, and general region.
  • Affiliate click data handled by affiliate platforms when you choose to click product links.
  • Messages you voluntarily send by email, including any odor scenario details you include.
  • Technical data needed to diagnose site errors, broken embeds, or loading issues.

How the data is used

Analytics help us see whether readers are finding the right guide path, where source tables need clarification, and which pages may need better media, citations, or internal links. We do not sell personal information.

Cookies, affiliate links, and embeds

Cookies may be used for analytics and basic site operation. Affiliate programs and embedded media providers, including YouTube, may process data under their own policies when you interact with their links or players.

Affiliate links do not change your price. They help support the site and are disclosed because product links should be transparent, optional, and tied to the diagnosis instead of pressure.

Your choices

You can block cookies in your browser, avoid interacting with embedded media, and contact support [at] smellslikewood [dot] com for privacy questions or requests related to messages you sent us.
