Privacy Policy

The owners of the best-tv-settings.com the concerns people have about privacy and safety on the Internet. This Privacy Policy explains what information we gather from visitors, how we use it, how we store it, and the steps we take to protect your privacy.

Cookie Usage

best-tv-settings.com does not use any cookies of its own. However, best-tv-settings.com does make use of a feature called “Save URLs” that can persistently preserve data entered into the site’s form fields via a URL string. “Save URLs” are described in more detail in a section below.

At any time best-tv-settings.com may decide to make use session cookies, persistent cookies, or both to enhance the user experience or for any other reason. User’s should be aware of the possibility of a change in cookie policy without further notification.

Session Cookies vs Persistent Cookies – Browsers are supposed to delete session cookies whenever the browser is closed. Thus, session cookies are not supposed to be saved permanently on a users computer although that’s ultimately dependent upon the browser implementation. Persistent cookies contain an expiration date that serves as an indication to the browser that the website would like the browser to save the cookie on the user’s computer for a period of time up to the expiration date. Thus, persistent cookies are stored on a computer’s hard drive.

best-tv-settings.com does NOT put personally identifiable information such as email addresses in cookies or in “Save URLs”.

Most browsers allow users to opt out of using cookies. Browsers may also let users opt out of persistent cookies while still allowing session cookies. Some features of best-tv-settings.com may not function properly or at all without cookies enabled.

  • Amazon Affiliate Program (see “Third Party Services” below for more info)

Affiliate Links: some of my links on this page are affiliate links which means at no extra charge to you, I will make a small commission help me to run this page. if you click on them and make a qualifying purchase. 

Save URLs

best-tv-settings.com generates “Save URLs” that are intended to allow users to save and share links to the site with the current form field settings preserved. These Save URLs serve a similar purpose as a persistent cookie except the information is encoded in a URL instead of in a cookie stored by a browser. Users decide how or if they will make use of “Save URLs”.

Many users choose to save the “Save URL” in their “Favorites” or “Bookmarks” and in doing so the browser will save the encoded form field data on their computer. Browsers allow “Favorites” or “Bookmarks” to be easily imported and exported, thus “Save URLs” saved to “Favorites” or “Bookmarks” are vulnerable to unintended transfer from one computer to another whenever “Favorites” or “Bookmarks” are exported and imported.

“Save URLs” are, of course, URLs. Thus, they will show up in a browser’s navigation history if a “Save URL” page is loaded in a browser. Browsers save their navigation history to the user’s computer. Thus, users should avoid accessing “Save URLs” from other people’s devices including computers in libraries, kiosks, and other public places if they are concerned with keeping the encoded form field content private.

Data Collected and Its Use

best-tv-settings.com allows users to enter information about one or more televisions for comparison and analysis purposes. We do not make use of this information beyond the client side analysis, and comparison that is the primary focus of the site. The information collected includes:

  • TV screen size
  • TV aspect ratio

At any time we may decide to make use of the information above to enhance our display of ads thereby making them context sensitive based on the information entered by users. For example, a user performing comparison of a 55 inch and 60 inch television may be presented with ads for televisions in those sizes. Implementation of enhanced context sensitive ads may involve sharing user entered data with third party advertisers such as Google Adsense.

best-tv-settings.com creates a “Save URL” that is updated every time a user changes a form input field on the site. If users link to a “Save URL” from their Facebook, Twitter, or other social media accounts or send links via email then the information entered on the site can be associated directly with the user (via their social media account). If users don’t want to share the content entered on the site publicly or in a way that can be associated directly with them then they should avoid clicking, sending, linking to, or otherwise using “Save URLs”. The use of “Save URLs” is completely optional and at each user’s discretion.

Google’s Privacy Policy

Google AdSense is Google’s world class advertising system that allows website developers to place ads on their web pages. The AdSense service is a godsend for website developers because all websites have operational costs that must be funded somehow. AdSense provides an extremely effective platform that allows websites to optimize their potential ad revenue and support their operational costs. AdSense uses persistent cookies, the content of a site’s web pages, and other information to present ads that are context appropriate for the web pages and potentially of high interest to page visitors.

The persistent AdSense cookies are associated with Google’s AdSense servers and not with the best-tv-settings.com website. This means other websites that display AdSense ads can share the same persistent AdSense cookie as CompareTvSizes.com. Thus, the AdSense advertising system can maintain information about all the websites you visit that show AdSense ads. This can help the AdSense system display ads of high interest to you but it is also a privacy issue to be aware of.
