Who We Are
Motor Oil Guide is operated by Marcus Webb. You can reach us at marcus@motoroilguide.com.
What Data We Collect
This is a content site — we don’t have user accounts, logins, or forms that collect personal information. The only data collected is:
Analytics data: We use privacy-respecting analytics to understand which articles are helpful. This collects aggregate page view data only — no personally identifiable information, no cross-site tracking.
Server logs: Standard server logs (IP address, browser type, referring URL) are collected automatically by our hosting provider. These are used only for security and performance monitoring and are not used for advertising.
Cookies
Analytics cookies: Our analytics tool may set a first-party cookie to track session data in aggregate. No personally identifiable data is stored.
Amazon affiliate cookies: When you click an Amazon affiliate link on this site, Amazon may set their own cookies on the Amazon domain in accordance with their privacy policies. We do not control or have access to these cookies. Amazon’s 24-hour cookie window is standard for their Associates program.
We do not use advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, or third-party tracking.
Affiliate Links
Some links on this site are Amazon affiliate links. When you click one and make a purchase, Amazon pays us a small commission. This has no effect on the price you pay. See our Affiliate Disclosure for full details.
