3. Cookie disclosure
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. ShampooGarage uses cookies in these categories:
- Essential cookies — required for basic site operation, security, and remembering cookie preferences.
- Analytics cookies — Google Analytics may record anonymized page views and session activity so we can improve content.
- Advertising cookies — Google AdSense (publisher ca-pub-1051825252184436) and its partners may use cookies to show ads, limit how often you see an ad, and measure ad performance. These cookies can collect data about your visit and other sites you have viewed.
- Affiliate cookies — Amazon Associates (tag seperts-20) may set cookies when you follow a product link so a qualifying purchase can be attributed to ShampooGarage. This does not change the price you pay.
You can accept, reject, or customize non-essential cookies through the cookie controls on this site, and you can delete or block cookies in your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may limit personalization. Google also provides ad-personalization controls at adssettings.google.com and more detail in the Google advertising cookie policy.

ShampooGarage uses Google AdSense to display advertising on blog and other content pages. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads. The AdSense publisher ID for this site is ca-pub-1051825252184436. Google’s use of advertising cookies is described in Google’s Privacy Policy and advertising documentation.

5. Amazon Associates
ShampooGarage is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. Product links use the Associates tag seperts-20. If you click an Amazon link and later buy something, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Amazon handles checkout and may collect information under Amazon’s own privacy policy.
6. How long we keep information
Newsletter addresses are kept while a subscription is active. Contact-form messages are retained only as long as needed to respond and keep a basic support record. Server logs and analytics records are kept for a limited operational period.
