Analytics & access data

That data includes:

Who we share your data with
Advertising
techylist.com also works with several third-party advertising and affiliate revenue services. These companies may use information about your visits to this website and others in order to provide advertisements about goods and services that may interest you.
Our advertising partners include:
- Google AdSense – Privacy Policy & Opt-out from personalized ads
We also serve affiliate links (where we get a commission if you click a link and then buy a product through the following services:
- Amazon Affiliate Program – Amazon Privacy Notice
- eBay Partner Network – Privacy
- Skimlinks – Privacy policy (opt-out)
Each of these services may use cookies and collect personal data, and each has its own privacy policy.
For example, Skimlinks automatically converts some links to internet retailers on this website into affiliate links. In order to do that, Skimlinks captures IP addresses, generates a unique cookie ID and stores devices IDs for cross-device matching. But users can opt-out from the Skimlinks cookie by visiting optout.skimlinks.com and changing their preferences.
Users can also opt-out from personalized Google AdSense advertisements.
