Privacy & Cookie Policy

Last updated: 2026-06-13

This policy explains, in plain English, what information BuyOQ collects, how it is used, the cookies and advertising on this site, and your choices. BuyOQ is operated by Mustafa Bilgic (Malazgirt No: 225, 02000 Adıyaman, Türkiye), contactable at [email protected].

The short version

• BuyOQ is an informational website. You can read everything without giving us any personal details.
• Our tools (calculators) run entirely in your browser. The numbers you type are not sent to us or stored on a server.
• We use basic analytics and third-party advertising (Google AdSense and others), which use cookies.
• You can decline non-essential cookies via the banner, and control them in your browser at any time.

Information we collect

Information you give us. If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you choose to include, used solely to reply.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our hosting and analytics may record standard technical data such as your approximate region, browser type, device, referring page and pages viewed. This is used in aggregate to understand what's useful and to keep the site secure and working.

Calculator inputs stay local. Values entered into BuyOQ tools are processed in your browser and are not transmitted to us. We may store a small flag in your browser's local storage to remember your cookie choice.

Cookies

Cookies are small files stored by your browser. BuyOQ uses:

• Essential cookies/local storage for basic functionality, such as remembering your cookie preference.
• Analytics cookies to understand site usage in aggregate.
• Advertising cookies set by our ad partners to show and measure ads (see below).

You can accept or decline non-essential cookies using the banner shown on your first visit, and you can clear or block cookies in your browser settings at any time.

Advertising

BuyOQ displays advertising to remain free. We use Google AdSense and may use other advertising partners.

• Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.
• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits. You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
• You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising via aboutads.info/choices.

For users in regions such as the EEA and UK, advertising partners process data in line with applicable consent requirements. Where required, non-personalised ads may be served if you decline consent.

Affiliate links & disclosure

Some buying guides include affiliate links — most commonly a tagged Amazon search link. If you buy after clicking one, BuyOQ may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases. These links never influence our advice: we link to neutral searches, not paid placements, and we do not accept payment for recommendations.

Analytics

We may use privacy-respecting analytics to measure traffic in aggregate. This helps us see which guides are useful. We do not use this data to identify you personally.

How we use information

• To operate, maintain and improve BuyOQ and its content.
• To respond to your emails.
• To display and measure advertising that funds the site.
• To keep the site secure and detect abuse.

Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with the service providers that make the site work (such as hosting, analytics and advertising partners), and only as needed, or where required by law.

Your choices & rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct or delete personal data we hold about you, and to object to certain processing. Because BuyOQ collects very little personal data, most requests relate to email correspondence. To make a request, email [email protected]. You can also manage cookies in your browser and opt out of personalised ads using the links above.

Children

BuyOQ is intended for a general adult audience and is not directed at children under 13 (or the equivalent age in your region). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The "last updated" date at the top reflects the latest version. Significant changes will be reflected on this page.
