Privacy policy
Last updated 2026. The short version: we collect very little, we do not sell your data, and the main tracking that happens is standard analytics and the affiliate cookies retailers set when you click a buy link.
Who we are
Vetiver & Vale is an independent men's-cologne review site published by Type 5 Marketing LLC. You can reach us at info@vetiverandvale.com.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand which pages are read and how visitors move through the site. It sets cookies and collects standard, largely anonymized data — pages viewed, approximate location, device and browser type, and referring source. We use it to improve the content; we do not use it to identify you personally.
Affiliate links and cookies
When you click a "Check price" or "View on Amazon" link, the retailer (usually Amazon) may set a cookie so it can attribute any resulting purchase to us and pay a commission. That cookie is set by the retailer under their privacy policy, not ours, and it costs you nothing. See our affiliate disclosure for how the commissions work.
The contact form
If you use our contact form, we collect the name, email address and message you submit, solely to read and reply to your message. We do not add you to a marketing list or share the information with third parties. The form includes basic anti-spam checks (a hidden field and timing/rate checks) that do not track you across sites.
What we do not do
- We do not sell or rent your personal information.
- We do not run our own advertising trackers or third-party ad networks.
- We do not require an account, and we store no passwords.
Your choices
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, and use browser or extension controls to limit analytics. Doing so will not stop you from reading anything on the site. For questions about your data, email us at info@vetiverandvale.com.
Changes
If this policy changes we will update the date above. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated policy.
