Information we collect
We collect only what is needed to operate a public research site:
- Server and security logs — IP address, user-agent, requested URL, referrer, and timestamps from our host/CDN (including Cloudflare) for delivery, abuse prevention, and diagnostics.
- Cookies and similar technologies — first-party and third-party cookies, pixels, and local storage used for site function, advertising, and measurement as described below.
- Information you send us — if you email the address above, we receive whatever you include in that message.
We do not operate user accounts on this site. We do not sell personal information.
Google AdSense, cookies, and personalized ads
This site uses Google AdSense and related Google advertising services to display ads. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to this website or other websites.
Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet. These cookies and similar technologies may support personalized advertising (ads based on inferred interests and prior browsing) as well as non-personalized ads, frequency capping, aggregated reporting, and fraud prevention.
Third-party cookies: Google and other advertising partners may set or read cookies on your browser when you visit Big Sky ROI. Those cookies are controlled by the third party, not by Big Sky ROI, and may collect information about your visits to this site and other sites.
You can opt out of personalized advertising by Google:
Opting out of personalized ads does not mean you will see no ads. You may still see ads that are less relevant, including ads that still use cookies for legitimate purposes such as capping how often an ad appears.
Amazon Associates and research-affiliate disclosure
Big Sky ROI is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com and related Amazon sites.
Some research notes, product examples, or outbound links may be affiliate or compensated research-affiliate links. If you click and purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. Affiliate partners may use cookies to attribute those clicks and purchases.
Other third-party services
Pages load fonts from Google Fonts. Our CDN/host may set strictly necessary cookies for security and performance. Third-party destinations linked from this site have their own privacy practices; we are not responsible for those policies.
How we use information
- To serve and secure the site.
- To display advertising, including personalized ads where permitted.
- To attribute affiliate or research-affiliate referrals where applicable.
- To respond to email you send us.
Retention and sharing
Logs are retained for a limited operational period. Advertising and affiliate partners process data under their own policies. We share information when required by law, to protect the site, or with service providers who process it on our instructions (hosting, CDN, advertising).
Children
This site is intended for adults making business and capital-allocation decisions. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
Changes
We may update this policy. The effective date at the top will change when we do. Continued use of the site after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
