Analytics
We use Google Analytics, loaded through Google Tag Manager, to see which pages people read, how they found them and which links they click. This can include your approximate location, device, browser and the pages you visit. Google processes this data for us. Read Google's privacy policy.
Cookies and your choice
When analytics is allowed, Google Analytics sets cookies, usually named _ga and _ga_*, to recognize repeat visits. Your choice is saved in your browser under ss-consent.
In the EU, the UK, Switzerland and South Africa, analytics cookies stay off unless you choose Allow. Elsewhere they are on unless you choose Decline. With cookies off, Google may still receive basic visit signals without identifying cookies.
The tools on this site run in your browser. Anything you type stays on your device, and some tools save your progress there. That data is not sent to us.
Hosting and fonts
The site runs on Cloudflare, which handles every request and may process your IP address to deliver the site and protect it. Fonts load from Google Fonts, so your browser connects to Google when a page opens.
Affiliate links
Some articles may link to products through affiliate programs. If you buy through one of those links, SerpSurfers may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Articles that contain these links say so near the top. We do not sell your personal information.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, laws such as POPIA and the GDPR may let you ask to see, correct or delete personal information held about you, or object to how it is used. You can also complain to your local data protection authority.
