GizmoSensei is a small independent site. This page says exactly what it collects, who else sees it, and how to switch the sharing off. It is written to be read, not to be survived.
What this site collects itself
- Nothing you type. GizmoSensei has no form that sends what you type anywhere. Anything you enter is worked out in your own browser and is gone when you close the tab.
- The site is hosted on ordinary web hosting, which keeps standard server logs (IP address, page requested, time, browser) for security and troubleshooting.
Third parties that run on this site
These are loaded from gizmosensei.com and set their own cookies. Nothing in this table loads for a visitor who has opted out below.
| Service | What it does |
|---|---|
| Google Analytics 4 | How many people visit, which pages they open, roughly where in the world they are, and how they arrived. Configured with allow_google_signals: false, so it is not used to build advertising audiences. |
| Google AdSense | Serves the advertising on this site and decides which ads to show. In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland it asks for consent first through Google's own consent message. |
| Microsoft Clarity | Records anonymised session replays and builds heatmaps — where people click and how far they scroll — so the pages can be made clearer. Clarity masks text content by default. |
Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information
We do not sell your personal information for money. Running third-party advertising and analytics tags does, however, count as “sharing” personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising under California law, and several other US states treat it the same way. That is what the opt-out below switches off. There are two ways, and either one is enough:
- Global Privacy Control. If your browser or an extension sends the GPC signal, this site treats it as an opt-out automatically. Google Analytics 4, Google AdSense and Microsoft Clarity are then never loaded.
- The button below. It stores one setting in this browser (
gs_optout) so Google Analytics 4, Google AdSense and Microsoft Clarity are not loaded on your future visits. It applies to this browser on this device only — clearing site data removes it.
Status in this browser: checking…
To limit ad personalisation across Google’s network generally, use Google’s My Ad Center. You can also opt out of interest-based ads from many companies at optout.aboutads.info.
Visitors in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland
If you visit from these regions, storage for advertising and analytics starts switched off and stays off until you choose, through Google’s consent message. Microsoft Clarity sets no cookies in those regions without a consent signal. You can change your choice at any time from the privacy and cookie settings link that the consent message places on the page.
Cookies
GizmoSensei sets no cookies of its own. The cookies on this site come from Google Analytics 4, Google AdSense and Microsoft Clarity as described above, and they are not set at all when you have opted out.
Children
This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.
Your rights and how to reach us
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to know what personal information is collected about you, to have it deleted, to correct it, and to opt out of its sale or sharing. For anything collected by Google, its own tools at myaccount.google.com are the quickest route. For anything else, write to hello@thefreedomstable.com. We will not treat you differently for exercising any of these rights.
Changes
If what this site collects changes, this page changes with it, and the date at the top is updated.
