Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 1, 2026

ShutUp-TakeMyMoney ("we", "us") runs this website. This page explains what information is collected when you visit and how it's used.

What we collect

We don't ask you to create an account, and we don't sell your personal information. Like most websites, our hosting provider may automatically log basic technical data such as your IP address, browser type, pages visited and the time of your visit. This is used to keep the site running, secure and fast.

If we add analytics in the future, they'll be used to understand which articles are popular, in aggregate. We'll update this page when that happens.

Affiliate links and cookies

Many links on this site are affiliate links. When you click one and go to a retailer such as Amazon, that retailer may place cookies on your device so it can tell that you came from us. If you buy something, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Those cookies are set and controlled by the retailer, not by us, and are covered by the retailer's own privacy policy (for example, Amazon's Privacy Notice).

ShutUp-TakeMyMoney 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. Amazon and the Amazon logo are trademarks of Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates. See our affiliate disclosure for more.

Third-party content

We load fonts from Google Fonts, which means your browser connects to Google's servers to download them. Google's handling of that request is covered by Google's Privacy Policy.

Contact form

If you send us a message through our contact page, we receive your name, email address and message so we can reply. Messages are delivered to our inbox by FormSubmit, a third-party form service. We don't add you to any mailing list or share your details.

Children

This site is intended for adults. Some articles cover alcohol-related products and are intended for readers of legal drinking age. We don't knowingly collect information from children under 13.

Your choices

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time. Blocking cookies won't stop you from reading this site.

Changes and contact

We may update this policy from time to time, and the date at the top will change when we do. Questions? Contact us.
