Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 10, 2026.

This privacy policy explains what information Fed Up With Mess ("I", "me", "this site") collects when you visit, and what I do with it. The short version: very little, and nothing creepy.

Analytics

I use Google Analytics 4 to understand how many people visit, which articles are popular and roughly where visitors come from. Google Analytics uses cookies (such as _ga and _ga_*) and collects information like the pages you view, how long you stay, your browser and device type, and your approximate location. It does not tell me who you are. Google processes this data under its own privacy policy. You can opt out with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on or by blocking cookies in your browser.

Affiliate links and cookies

Many product links on this site are affiliate links (see my affiliate disclosure). When you click one, the store you land on - for example Amazon or Etsy - may set its own cookies so it can tell that you came from this site and credit me if you buy something. Those cookies are set and controlled by the store, under their own privacy policies.

Newsletter

If you subscribe, I collect your name and email address so I can send you my emails. I won't sell or share your email address with anyone, and every email includes a way to unsubscribe at any time.

What I don't do

I don't sell personal information, I don't run third-party ad networks on this site, and I don't knowingly collect information from children under 13.

Your choices

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, use the Google Analytics opt-out add-on, and unsubscribe from emails at any time. If you'd like me to delete your newsletter details, just ask.

Changes

If this policy changes, I'll update this page and the date at the top.
