Privacy Policy

Last updated September 29, 2026

The short version

Spine & Seat does not have accounts, does not sell data, and does not run advertising networks. Three things touch your data: analytics, affiliate links, and the contact form. Each is described below.

Who we are

Spine & Seat (https://spineandseat.com) is published by The First Buyer. For anything in this policy, contact contact@spineandseat.com.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand which pages are read and which links are clicked. It sets cookies and collects standard web analytics information: pages viewed, approximate location derived from IP address, device and browser type, referring site, and events such as clicking an outbound product link.

We use that to decide what to write next and to see which recommendations people act on. We do not use it to build a profile of you, we do not combine it with anything else, and we do not sell it.

Google processes that data as described in its own privacy policy. You can opt out entirely with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, or by blocking analytics in your browser or an extension. The site works normally either way.

Affiliate links and cookies

Product links on this site route through our own /go redirect and then to the retailer - most often Amazon. When you follow one, the retailer typically sets a cookie so it can attribute a purchase to us. That cookie belongs to the retailer, not to us, and it is governed by their privacy policy.

We do not receive your name, address, payment details or order contents. What we see is aggregate: how many purchases were attributed, and of roughly what value. We cannot connect that to you.

Blocking third-party cookies stops the attribution. It does not stop you buying anything and it does not change your price. The commercial arrangement is described in full in the affiliate disclosure.

The contact form

If you use the form on our contact page, we receive the name, email address, subject and message you enter, and we use them only to reply to you. The message is delivered by email to the person who writes the site.

The form carries basic anti-spam measures: a hidden field that real visitors never fill in, a check on how long the form was open, and a limit on submissions per network address per hour. Those use information already present in the request and are not used for any other purpose.

We keep correspondence for as long as it is useful for answering you and for handling corrections. Ask us to delete it and we will.

What we do not do

• No user accounts and no logins.
• No newsletter and no mailing list.
• No advertising networks and no retargeting pixels.
• No selling, renting or sharing of personal information.
• No social media tracking widgets.
• No comment system.

Cookies in summary

• Analytics cookies set by Google Analytics, described above. Optional - block them and the site works.
• Affiliate cookies set by the retailer when you follow a product link. Set by them, not by us.
• No advertising cookies. We do not run ads.

Your choices

• Block or delete cookies in your browser settings.
• Use the Google Analytics opt-out add-on linked above.
• Use a tracking blocker. We do not detect or discourage them.
• Ask us what we hold about you, or ask us to delete it, at contact@spineandseat.com. In practice that will usually be nothing beyond an email you sent us.

Children

This site is intended for adults buying office furniture. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you believe a child has sent us information, contact us and we will delete it.

External links

We link to manufacturers, retailers, standards bodies and government health resources. Once you leave this site, the destination's privacy policy applies and ours does not. We have no control over what they collect.

Changes to this policy

If we change what this site collects, this page changes first and the date at the top is updated. We will not quietly add an advertising network or a mailing list.
