FRAGRANCE-FREEPlain Label Guide

Privacy policy

Plain Label Guide Editorial · Last updated 14 November 2026

This page describes what the site does today. It describes current practice and may change; when it does, the “updated” date above will move.

Newsletter

If you subscribe, we store your email address, the time, which form on the site you used, and the wording of the consent line shown with the form. We use the address to send the newsletter you signed up for. There is a hidden form field to catch automated sign-ups; it is not used to identify anyone. To have your address deleted, email the address on the contact page.

Free guide and tools

The free guide is a direct download and does not ask for an email address. The finder tool runs in your browser and sends nothing to us. Subscribing to the newsletter is a separate choice.

Affiliate-click counts

When you click an affiliate link to a retailer, the site sends a small message to our own server recording the site, the page you were on, the placement of the link on that page, the product’s retailer code (ASIN) and the time. Our code does not store your IP address or any account details. Links to a maker’s own website are not counted this way. The retailer you go to has its own privacy practices, and it tracks purchases made through our links in order to pay commission.

Analytics and cookies

We use Google Analytics to count visits and affiliate clicks. It sets analytics cookies only if analytics is allowed. We do not enable advertising storage or ad personalisation signals.

  • Visitors whose browser time zone is in Europe (this includes the UK) see a banner and analytics is off until they choose “Allow analytics”.
  • Elsewhere, analytics is on until you decline. You can change your choice at any time on the privacy choices page.
  • Region is guessed from your browser’s time zone, which is a rough guide and can be wrong.
  • Your choice is stored in your own browser (local storage) and not on our server.

Hosting and third parties

The site is a set of static pages served by a hosting provider, which may keep ordinary server logs. Google (analytics) and the retailers you click through to handle data under their own policies.
