Privacy policy
Last updated October 19, 2026
This policy explains what happens to your information when you use Gift Wombat (giftwombat.com). The short version: we don’t ask for your name or email, we don’t have accounts, and we don’t sell your personal information.
The gift quiz
Your quiz answers are processed in your browser to pick gift ideas. We don’t save them on our servers. Your answers, including anything you type in the optional “anything else?” box, are stored in the address (URL) of your results page, so you can come back to it or share it. If you share that link, whoever opens it can see those answers. Don’t type anything private in the notes box.
Hosting
The site is hosted on Cloudflare. Like any web host, Cloudflare processes technical information such as your IP address, browser type and the pages you request so it can deliver the site and protect it from abuse. See Cloudflare’s privacy policy.
Analytics
To understand which pages are useful, we may use Cloudflare Web Analytics. It is cookieless: it doesn’t set cookies or use local storage, and it doesn’t track you across other websites. It gives us totals such as page views, referring sites and country, not information about you as an individual.
Amazon links and cookies
Gift Wombat participates in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. When you click a link marked “(paid link)”, you leave our site and go to Amazon. Amazon may then set cookies in your browser so it can credit us if you make a qualifying purchase. Amazon sends us aggregated reports about orders and earnings. Those reports don’t identify you to us. What Amazon collects is covered by Amazon’s Privacy Notice.
The “Save to Pinterest” button simply opens Pinterest in a new tab with a link to the page. Nothing from Pinterest loads on our pages until you click it. We have a Pinterest tag (a measurement script) built into the site, but it is turned off. We’ll only use it if we decide to turn it on, and we’ll update this policy before we do.
What we don’t do
- We don’t sell or rent personal information, and we don’t “share” it for cross-context behavioral advertising.
- We don’t run third-party ad networks or set our own advertising cookies.
- We don’t knowingly collect information from children under 13. The site is meant for adults shopping for gifts.
Your choices
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, including Amazon’s. You can use the whole site without clicking any affiliate link. If you email us, we use your email only to reply, and you can ask us to delete it.

Changes
If we change how we handle information, for example by turning on the Pinterest tag, we’ll update this page and the date at the top.
