Privacy
This is a static informational site. We do not run user accounts and we do not ask you to sign in.
Advertising
Affiliate and referral links. Some articles may contain links to products, services, or vendors. Where a link is an affiliate or referral link, the article will say so in a clearly marked disclosure at the point of the link or at the top of the page. We only use affiliate links we have verified; they never affect our editorial ranking or verdicts.
Sponsored content. From time to time the site may publish sponsored articles or vendor-contributed content. Sponsored pieces are labeled as such at the top of the page. Sponsorship never buys a ranking, a review score, or an omission of weaknesses in editorial content.
This site displays ads served by Google AdSense. Google and its advertising partners may use cookies, web beacons, and local storage to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site or other sites. Personalized advertising uses this data to show ads relevant to your interests; non-personalized advertising does not.
You can opt out of personalized advertising at any time by visiting Google Ads Settings. For broader opt-out options, see aboutads.info.
For details on how Google uses data from partner sites, see Google's partner-sites policy.
Newsletter
The site offers an optional newsletter signup served by Buttondown. If you subscribe, your email address is sent to Buttondown so we can send a weekly summary of new Platform Monkey content. That signup is separate from analytics and advertising consent. You can unsubscribe from any newsletter email.
Your consent choices
Every visitor is asked whether analytics and advertising cookies may be used. Until you accept, the related storage remains denied. Your choice is stored in your browser so we can apply it on future visits.
Analytics
This site uses Google Analytics 4 (GA4) with Consent Mode v2. By default, analytics storage and ad storage are denied. No analytics or advertising cookies are set until you select Accept in the consent dialog.
When analytics consent is granted, GA4 collects anonymized page-view and engagement data (pages visited, scroll depth, time on page) to help improve site content. No user accounts, form submissions, or personally identifiable information are collected. You can opt out by declining consent or by using a browser extension such as the Google Analytics Opt-out Add-on.
