Roasty Coffee (RoastyCoffee.com) is run by a small team of coffee writers, and we take your privacy seriously. This policy explains what information we collect when you read our brewing guides and reviews, why we collect it, and the choices you have.
Information We Collect
You can read most of Roasty Coffee without giving us anything. When you do interact — signing up for our newsletter, leaving a comment, or sending a message — we collect what you choose to share, such as your name and email address. Like almost every website, we also collect technical information automatically: browser and device type, the pages you view, approximate location, the site that referred you, and data gathered through cookies and similar technologies.
How We Use It
We use this information to deliver and improve our coffee content, send the emails you ask for, understand which guides readers find useful, keep the site secure, and measure our advertising and affiliate links.
Advertising, Analytics, and Affiliate Partners
Roasty Coffee is supported by display advertising and affiliate links. To make that work we use third-party services for advertising, analytics, affiliate attribution, email, embedded media, and social features. These partners may set their own cookies or identifiers to measure performance, serve and cap ads, support affiliate tracking, and prevent fraud. Our programmatic advertising partners provide their own consent and privacy controls, and you can also opt out of optional sale/share-style tracking that we control using the Your Privacy Choices link in our footer.
Your Privacy Choices and Global Privacy Control
Use the Your Privacy Choices link in the footer to opt out of optional tracking controlled by Roasty Coffee. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, we treat it as an opt-out request for the optional tracking we control. Depending on where you live, you may also have rights to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold — contact us to make a request.
Affiliate Disclosure
Some links on Roasty Coffee are affiliate links, including Amazon Associates links. If you buy through them we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. See our full Affiliate Disclosure for details.

Current Tracking Technologies
Last technical review: May 28, 2026.
This section summarizes the tracking technologies and privacy controls currently detected or intentionally used on Roasty Coffee. It is meant to make the policy match the site as it is actually operated, not just a generic template.
- Programmatic advertising and ad consent tools from Mediavine/Grow. These partners manage their own ad-consent controls and may set advertising cookies or similar identifiers.
- Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and/or Google advertising measurement for audience measurement, site performance, and campaign attribution.
- Pinterest Tag for advertising measurement and conversion reporting, such as newsletter or signup events.
- Affiliate and commerce tracking when you click affiliate links, including Amazon Associates or other merchant/affiliate partners where links are present.
- UserWay accessibility widget for accessibility support and related widget preferences.
- Cain Brands privacy controls, which store your privacy-choice preference in a first-party cookie/localStorage value and honor Global Privacy Control where detected.
You can use the Your Privacy Choices page to opt out of sale/share-style optional tracking controlled by this site. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, this site treats that as an opt-out request for optional tracking we control. Programmatic advertising partners may also provide their own privacy and consent controls for ad serving.
First-party page measurement. We also run a small first-party measurement script that records how long a page is open, how far it is scrolled, and how ads on it perform. It uses your browser’s session storage only (no cookies), does not store your IP address, is processed through Cloudflare, honors Global Privacy Control and opt-out requests, is not run for visitors in the EU, EEA, UK or Switzerland, and its data is deleted after 120 days.
Mediavine Programmatic Advertising (Ver 1.1)
The Website works with Mediavine to manage third-party interest-based advertising appearing on the Website. Mediavine serves content and advertisements when you visit the Website, which may use first and third-party cookies. A cookie is a small text file which is sent to your computer or mobile device (referred to in this policy as a “device”) by the web server so that a website can remember some information about your browsing activity on the Website.
First party cookies are created by the website that you are visiting. A third-party cookie is frequently used in behavioral advertising and analytics and is created by a domain other than the website you are visiting. Third-party cookies, tags, pixels, beacons and other similar technologies (collectively, “Tags”) may be placed on the Website to monitor interaction with advertising content and to target and optimize advertising. Each internet browser has functionality so that you can block both first and third-party cookies and clear your browser’s cache. The “help” feature of the menu bar on most browsers will tell you how to stop accepting new cookies, how to receive notification of new cookies, how to disable existing cookies and how to clear your browser’s cache. For more information about cookies and how to disable them, you can consult the information at All About Cookies.
Without cookies you may not be able to take full advantage of the Website content and features. Please note that rejecting cookies does not mean that you will no longer see ads when you visit our Site. In the event you opt-out, you will still see non-personalized advertisements on the Website.
The Website collects the following data using a cookie when serving personalized ads:
- IP Address
- Operating System type
- Operating System version
- Device Type
- Language of the website
- Web browser type
- Email (in hashed form)
Mediavine Partners (companies listed below with whom Mediavine shares data) may also use this data to link to other end user information the partner has independently collected to deliver targeted advertisements. Mediavine Partners may also separately collect data about end users from other sources, such as advertising IDs or pixels, and link that data to data collected from Mediavine publishers in order to provide interest-based advertising across your online experience, including devices, browsers and apps. This data includes usage data, cookie information, device information, information about interactions between users and advertisements and websites, geolocation data, traffic data, and information about a visitor’s referral source to a particular website. Mediavine Partners may also create unique IDs to create audience segments, which are used to provide targeted advertising.
If you would like more information about this practice and to know your choices to opt-in or opt-out of this data collection, please visit National Advertising Initiative opt out page. You may also visit Digital Advertising Alliance website and Network Advertising Initiative website to learn more information about interest-based advertising. You may download the AppChoices app at Digital Advertising Alliance’s AppChoices app to opt out in connection with mobile apps, or use the platform controls on your mobile device to opt out.
