Privacy
DeskRanker is a reference site. There are no accounts, no newsletter, no comments and nothing to sign up for, so there is very little to collect and nothing we could sell.
Server logs
Like any website, requests reach a web server that records the usual request metadata: IP address, the page requested, a timestamp, the browser user-agent and the referring page. These are operational records used to keep the site running and to notice when it breaks. They are not linked to a person and are not shared.
Analytics
The site may run Google Analytics to count page views and see which pages people find useful. It sets cookies in your browser and reports aggregate traffic; it is not used to build a profile of you and the data is not sold or passed to anyone else.
You can opt out across every site that uses it with Google's browser add-on, or by blocking cookies for this site. Nothing on DeskRanker stops working if you do.
Filter settings stored in your browser
When you filter the desk listing, your selections are written to your browser's sessionStorage so that clicking into a desk and pressing back returns you to the same filtered view. It stays on your device, it is cleared when you close the tab, and it never reaches a server. The height you type into the fit calculator is handled the same way — it is used to filter the list in your browser and is never transmitted anywhere.
What we do not do
No advertising network, no retargeting pixels, no social embeds, no fingerprinting scripts, and no affiliate or retailer links of any kind — this site earns nothing from anything you click. There are no accounts, so there is no password or email address to lose.
Links to other sites
A few pages link out to manufacturers' documentation and to standards bodies as sources. Those sites have their own privacy practices and are outside our control.
Children
This site is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect information from them.
