Necessary cookies and storage

Necessary cookies and local storage help keep the site working. They may support authentication, security, sessions, saved guest packages, wishlists, price alerts, compare trays, recent searches, and route preferences.

Authentication and session cookies

When you create an account or log in, ApplianceIQ and its authentication providers may use cookies or similar technologies to keep you signed in, protect your account, complete OAuth flows, and sync saved shopping data.

Preference storage

Language preference.
Postal/ZIP and country preference.
Recent searches and category shortcuts.
Dismissed prompts, guest-save prompts, and UI preferences.
My Package, wishlist, compare, and alert fallback data for guests.

Analytics cookies

ApplianceIQ may use analytics tools to understand page performance, product journeys, errors, search behavior, feature usage, and conversion paths. Analytics should be configured to respect applicable consent and privacy requirements.

Affiliate and referral tracking

When users click outbound store links, future affiliate or referral tracking may help attribute clicks, store visits, or qualifying purchases. This supports ApplianceIQ monetization and should be disclosed where required.

Google advertising and analytics

ApplianceIQ uses Google Analytics to measure site use and loads Google AdSense on eligible content pages. These services receive information such as your IP address and the page you visit, and may read or set cookies.

Google and its advertising partners may use advertising cookies to personalize ads using visits to ApplianceIQ and other sites. You can turn off personalized advertising in Google Ads Settings. Other participating vendors offer choices through the Digital Advertising Alliance.

Read how Google uses information from partner sites and the options in Google’s Analytics opt-out browser add-on. Turning off ad personalization does not itself disable all measurement or necessary site storage.

Managing cookies

You can manage cookies through your browser settings. Blocking necessary cookies or storage may cause account login, My Package, wishlist, price alerts, recent searches, and language/location preferences to stop working correctly.
