Privacy policy
Last updated: July 2026
Rank My Perfume is an independent fragrance encyclopedia. This page explains what information the site handles when you visit, and the choices you have. We aim to collect as little as possible.
Information we handle
You can browse the entire encyclopedia without an account. If you choose to create an account (to save rankings), we store the email address and authentication details you provide, via our authentication provider Supabase. Ranking drafts you build are saved in your browser’s local storage, and — if you’re signed in — to your account so they sync across devices.
Cookies & local storage
We use browser local storage for preferences and saved ranking drafts. Cookies on this site come primarily from the third-party services below (advertising and, where applicable, authentication). You can clear or block cookies in your browser settings, though some features (like staying signed in) may stop working.
Advertising (Google AdSense)
This site is supported by advertising served through Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.
- Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
- You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of third-party vendor cookies at aboutads.info/choices.
- More detail is in Google’s advertising policies.
Affiliate links
Some “check price” buttons are affiliate links to retailers such as FragranceX and FragranceShop. If you buy through one, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. These links are marked and never affect the editorial data or rankings.
Analytics
We use privacy-friendly Vercel Analytics and Speed Insights to understand aggregate traffic and performance. These do not use tracking cookies to build a profile of you.
Your choices & contact
You can browse without an account, opt out of personalised ads via the links above, and clear cookies at any time. To ask what account data we hold or to request deletion, email privacy@rankmyperfume.com. For image/rights questions, see our image rights & takedown page.
Changes
We may update this policy as the site evolves; material changes will be reflected by the date above. Continued use of the site means you accept the current version.
