Cookie Policy
Last updated October 4, 2026
We set zero first-party cookies. What follows is an honest inventory of everything this site puts in your browser, plus what Amazon does on its own account once you click a product link.
What Weird Ass Stuff stores
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
weirdassstuff_analytics_consent | localStorage (not a cookie) | Remembers whether you accepted or declined analytics, so the banner doesn't nag you every visit. | Until you clear it via "Cookie preferences" in the footer or your browser's site data settings |
It's stored in localStorage, never leaves your browser, and holds nothing more than the string "true" or "false".
Analytics
If you accept, Google Analytics 4 loads and may set _ga (typically retained for up to two years) and _ga_<container-id> (used to maintain session state). We use aggregate traffic and affiliate-click reporting, with IP anonymization enabled and Google Signals and ad personalization disabled. If you decline, the analytics script does not load.
Amazon's cookies
Product links route through /go/ to Amazon.com carrying our Associates tag. Amazon sets its own cookies on amazon.com, not on this domain, so they are not readable or writable by Weird Ass Stuff, and are governed by Amazon's own cookie policy.
Cloudflare
This site is served through Cloudflare's network. Cloudflare may set operational, infrastructure-level cookies for security purposes (bot mitigation, DDoS protection) on some requests; these are not used by us for tracking or advertising.
Managing your choice
Click "Cookie preferences" in the footer to clear your stored consent value and see the banner again.
