Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 9, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how ThriftShopFinder (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and shares information when you visit thriftshopfinder.com (the “Website”). By using the Website, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
Information We Collect
Information you provide. When you submit our contact form or subscribe to our newsletter, we collect the information you give us, such as your name, email address, and the contents of your message. We use this to respond to you and, if you opt in, to send you updates.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we and our service providers automatically collect certain technical information when you visit, including your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring pages, and how you interact with the Website. This is collected through cookies and similar technologies (see below).
Cookies
A cookie is a small text file stored on your device by your web browser. We and our partners use first- and third-party cookies to operate the Website, remember your preferences, understand how the Website is used, and deliver advertising. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling cookies may affect some features of the Website, and you will still see advertising — it will simply be less relevant to you.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the Website so we can improve it. Google Analytics collects information such as pages visited, time on site, and general location, and uses cookies to do so. You can learn more from Google's Privacy Policy and opt out using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
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 and version
- Device Type
- Language preferences
- Web browser type
- Email (in a hashed or encrypted form)
Mediavine Partners (companies listed here 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 consumer's interests derived from usage data. Data may also be shared to third-party companies to determine users' interests to serve interest-based advertising.
For more information about interest-based ads, or to opt out of having your web browsing information used for behavioral advertising purposes, please visit www.aboutads.info/choices.
The Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) also provides a tool for opting out of the collection of data by its member companies. You can access this tool at optout.networkadvertising.org.

Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights over your personal information, such as the right to access, correct, or delete it, or to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information for targeted advertising. This includes residents of the European Economic Area and United Kingdom (under the GDPR) and residents of California and other U.S. states with comprehensive privacy laws (such as the CCPA/CPRA). To exercise any of these rights, please contact us. You may also use the advertising opt-out tools listed above.
Children's Privacy
The Website is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
