Analytics and cookie choices
Plausible counts every visit without cookies. It may receive browser and device information and a referring page.
Google Analytics is run by Google, which receives the page address, the actions we measure on this site and browser and device information, and sets cookies that tell repeat visits apart. Its advertising features are off.
In the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, and whenever we cannot tell which country a visit comes from, Google Analytics loads only after you choose Accept on the bar at the bottom of the page. Decline loads nothing from Google. Your choice is kept in this browser for six months, then the bar asks again.
Elsewhere, Google Analytics loads with each page unless you choose Decline. Cloudflare, which delivers our pages, tells your browser which country the visit comes from.
Wherever you are, Cookie choices at the bottom of any page, or the button below, changes your choice. Decline stops Google Analytics on this site in this browser and deletes its analytics cookies. If analytics was running, the page reloads to apply your choice. Decline holds on every page; outside the countries above it is kept until you change it.
Retailer links
As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. Amazon links on this site carry a tracking code so Amazon can attribute the referral and pay a commission; links to a maker’s own shop carry none and earn nothing. It costs you nothing extra and it changes no suggestion on this site.
Amazon product photographs load directly from Amazon and link back to that product’s own Amazon page, as the programme requires. Amazon receives your IP address and normal browser information when a photograph loads.
Your choices
Finder and packing inputs are processed in this browser. The tools do not require an account. Comparison links hold only the two socks you chose. No shoe size, trip date, drying assumption or contact message is included in a comparison link.
Retailers and photographs
A retailer link opens an external site governed by its own policies. Authorized product images may load directly from a merchant image service, which receives ordinary browser request information.
Contact messages
The contact form sends your report, your reply address and any page or source you add through Cloudflare. Cloudflare Turnstile runs an automatic security check that never asks you to solve anything; it receives your browser and connection details to tell people from automated senders.
We keep each report in our contact inbox at Cloudflare for 12 months, then it is deleted automatically, and a copy goes to a private Discord channel our team reads. We use your reply address only to answer you, never for marketing. To stop floods of messages, the form counts reports from one connection or reply address for two hours, under a one-way code rather than the address itself.
To see or delete a report you sent, ask through the same form and we will delete both copies. Please do not include passwords, payment details or private order details.
