Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 3, 2026

Who we are

Stack Insider is a content publication that reviews and compares software tools. If you have questions about this Privacy Policy, contact us at privacy@stack-insider.com.

Information we collect

We collect information in a few ways, depending on how you use the site:

• Usage and analytics data: pages viewed, referring pages, approximate location, device and browser information, and interactions with the website.
• Server logs: technical information such as IP address, request time, user agent, URLs requested, and error logs needed to operate and secure the site.
• Information you choose to provide: if we add newsletter signups, contact forms, accounts, or similar features, we may collect details such as your name, email address, company, message content, and preferences.
• Affiliate click information: when you click an affiliate link, third-party affiliate networks or vendors may process tracking information to attribute a referral or commission.

Analytics, advertising, and cookies

We use web analytics software on our own infrastructure and may use third-party analytics and advertising services, including Matomo, Google Analytics, and Google Ads. These tools help us understand which content is useful, measure site performance, improve our reviews, and evaluate advertising or marketing campaigns.

Optional analytics and marketing cookies are controlled by the cookie preferences banner. You can opt in or out at any time by using the Cookie Preferences link in the footer of every page. Necessary cookies and local storage may still be used to remember your preferences and operate the website.

Affiliate links and third parties

Some links on Stack Insider are affiliate links. If you click one of these links, the destination website, affiliate network, or vendor may use cookies or similar technologies to track that referral. That tracking is performed by third parties after you click through to their sites, and their own privacy policies apply.

How we use information

We use information to:

• operate, maintain, secure, and improve Stack Insider;
• understand how readers discover and use our content;
• measure content performance, affiliate referrals, and marketing campaigns;
• respond to messages or requests you send us;
• send newsletters or other updates if you choose to subscribe; and
• comply with legal, security, and operational requirements.

How long we keep information

We keep information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including analytics, security, business operations, legal compliance, and recordkeeping.

Your choices

You can manage optional analytics and marketing cookies through the footer link at any time. You can also contact us at privacy@stack-insider.com to ask about personal information you have provided to us, request a correction, or ask that we delete it where applicable.

International users

Stack Insider is operated with an EU-oriented privacy approach. Privacy rights and requirements vary by location, and we may update this policy as we evaluate additional local requirements.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as our site, tools, or legal requirements change. The updated date at the top of this page indicates when it was last revised.
