Privacy

Analytics

Integrating Sound uses Google Analytics to count visits and see how the site is used. When you visit, your browser loads Google's analytics script, which sets first-party cookies (named _ga and _ga_…) and sends Google the pages you view, the site that referred you, your device and browser type, and your approximate location (derived from your IP address; Google Analytics doesn't log or store IP addresses). It also sends how you use the pages: which links, buttons and controls you use, how far you scroll and which sections you reach, how quickly pages load, any script errors, and whether your device prefers dark mode, reduced motion or touch. Never anything you type, and never what you copy — only that something was copied. What comes back are aggregate reports: how many visitors, which pages and features, where traffic comes from.

Google signals and advertising features are turned off, so this isn't linked to Google accounts or used for ads. The data is kept for 14 months, then deleted. It isn't sold or shared with anyone else.

Opting out

Turn analytics off for this browser — it's remembered in your browser's local storage, and Google's script isn't even loaded after that (turn it back on). Or block cookies for this site, use a content blocker, or install Google's opt-out add-on — the site works the same either way.

Google's privacy policy covers how it handles this data, and this page explains how Google uses information from sites that use its services.

Everything else

This site sets no other cookies. Beyond the links, purchases and sign-ups described below, there is no other tracking, and no ad networks or tracking pixels. Like most web servers, the servers that host this site may keep standard access logs (such as IP address and time of request) for operation and security.

Links, purchases and sign-ups

Affiliate links

Integrating Sound may earn a commission when you buy through some links. Those links go through a redirect on this site (/go/). It records the page the click came from, which link it was, any campaign tags in the address, and a hash of your IP address that is salted and changes every day, so it can't be traced back to you or matched across days. It sets no cookies and doesn't record your browser type. Once you reach the retailer, its own cookies and privacy policy apply.

Purchases

Purchases are handled by the merchant of record or print partner named at checkout, not by Integrating Sound. They take your payment and delivery details, and their privacy policies apply. Integrating Sound never sees your card details.

Supporting the site

Supporter payments go through a supporter platform. It handles your payment and account details under its own privacy policy.

Email list

If you join the email list, your address is held by the email provider that sends it. You confirm by email first (double opt-in), and every message has an unsubscribe link, so you can leave at any time. Integrating Sound also keeps a note of which page or offer you signed up from.
