Last updated: July 30, 2026
Overview
This policy explains information that may be processed when you visit The Toaster Guide. The public site does not offer user accounts and does not ask readers to upload appliance records.
Browser-based tools
The toaster finder and counter-space planner operate in your browser and are not designed to submit your entries to the site. The toast setting log uses local browser storage on your device until you clear it. Exported files are created by your browser.
Server logs
The hosting and security systems may record an IP address, browser type, requested URL, date and time, response status, referring page and similar technical information for operation, security, abuse prevention and troubleshooting.
Google AdSense and advertising cookies
This website uses Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on a visitor’s previous visits to this website or other websites. Google’s advertising cookies enable Google and its partners to serve ads based on those visits.
Depending on location, consent choices and advertising settings, ads may be personalized, non-personalized or limited. Google and participating advertising providers may process the page URL, IP address, browser information, device identifiers, cookies and interactions with advertisements.
Google explains this processing on How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services. Visitors can manage or opt out of personalized advertising through Google Ads Settings.
Consent in certain regions
For visitors in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom and Switzerland, the site is configured to use a Google-certified consent management platform where required. The message may request choices about cookies, local storage and personal-data processing for advertising. Consent choices may be reopened through the controls supplied by that platform.
Other third parties and external links
External websites, including official safety and recall authorities, operate under their own privacy policies. The site does not control their cookies or data practices.
Retention
Technical and security records may be retained only as reasonably necessary for operation, legal compliance, accounting, security and abuse prevention. Google and other providers set their own retention periods.
Children
The site is intended for a general audience and does not knowingly request account-registration information from children.
Your choices and rights
Depending on where you live, law may provide rights concerning access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection or withdrawal of consent. Requests concerning information controlled directly by this site may be submitted through Contact. Requests concerning Google-controlled information should use Google’s published controls.
Changes
This policy may be updated when the website, advertising services, browser tools or legal requirements change.
