Who We Are
Toolforge operates this website at https://toolforge.net. We are a static content website focused on reviews, comparisons, and buying guides for tools, workshop gear, DIY equipment, and yard tools.
If you have privacy questions, you can contact us at hello@toolforge.net.
Information We Collect
Because Toolforge is a static website, we generally collect limited information compared with account-based or e-commerce sites. We do not offer user accounts, and we do not directly process purchases on this site.
Analytics and Traffic Data
We may use basic analytics and webmaster tools to understand how people find and use the site. This may include information such as:
- Pages viewed
- Approximate location by country or region
- Device, browser, and operating system data
- Referral source, such as search engines or other websites
- General on-site behavior, such as page visits and navigation patterns
This information is usually collected in aggregated or pseudonymous form and is used to improve site content, structure, and performance.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
Toolforge and third-party services may use cookies or similar technologies for basic site functionality, analytics, and affiliate link tracking.
For example, if you click a retailer link, a third-party network or retailer may use cookies or similar identifiers to track whether a qualifying purchase is made. These technologies are controlled by the relevant third party and may be subject to that company’s own privacy policy.
Third-Party Services
We may rely on third-party providers for services such as:
- Website hosting and content delivery
- Traffic analytics
- Search performance and webmaster reporting
- Affiliate tracking and retailer attribution
These providers may receive technical information such as IP address, browser details, device information, or referral data as part of normal website operation.
Toolforge does not control how third-party retailers, affiliate networks, analytics providers, or external websites manage personal information once you leave our site or interact with their services.
Affiliate Links and External Sites
Toolforge contains links to third-party retailer websites and other external pages. If you click one of those links, your interaction with that site is governed by that third party’s own terms and privacy practices.
We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any retailer, marketplace, or external service you visit through our links.
How We Use Information
We use limited site data to:
- Understand which content is useful to readers
- Improve article topics, navigation, and site structure
- Monitor site performance and traffic trends
- Support affiliate attribution when readers choose to visit retailers through our links
- Maintain site security and basic functionality
Data Retention and Security
We do not maintain user account databases or store payment information on Toolforge. Any analytics or technical logs retained by service providers are generally kept according to those providers’ own policies.
While no website can guarantee absolute security, we use standard web services appropriate for a static publishing site.
Your Choices
You can limit cookies through your browser settings. Depending on the tools in use, you may also be able to opt out of certain analytics or advertising-related tracking through third-party browser controls or privacy tools.
Please note that disabling some cookies may affect how certain links or services function.
Children’s Privacy
Toolforge is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the site, service providers, legal requirements, or publishing practices. Any updates will be posted on this page with the revised effective date.
