Zotopie (zotopie.com) is a software review and comparison directory. We publish independent editorial content about software tools to help individuals and teams make better purchasing decisions.
We use Google Analytics (GA4) to understand how visitors use the site. GA4 collects anonymised data including: pages visited, time on site, browser type, device type, and approximate country. IP addresses are anonymised before storage (anonymize_ip: true is enabled). GA4 uses first-party cookies to track sessions.
When you click an affiliate link (any link to /go/[tool]), our server-side redirect logs the click event including: timestamp, tool slug, referrer page, and a bot/human classification. We do not log your IP address or any personally identifiable information in these click logs. This data is used solely for affiliate commission tracking and editorial analytics.
If you use the on-site search feature, your search query is processed client-side and not transmitted to our servers. No search history is stored.
Zotopie does not currently operate any contact forms, email signup forms, or user accounts. We collect no personal data through forms.
We use the following cookies:
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga | Google Analytics | Distinguishes unique users | 2 years |
_ga_* | Google Analytics | Session state | 2 years |
We do not use advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or third-party remarketing cookies. You can opt out of Google Analytics via the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Some links on Zotopie are affiliate links. When you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may earn a commission from the software vendor — at no additional cost to you.
Affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial ratings, recommendations, or rankings. Tools are evaluated independently of their affiliate status. The presence or absence of an affiliate program has no bearing on whether a tool is included or how it is scored.
Affiliate links are routed through zotopie.com/go/[tool] and marked with rel="sponsored" in the HTML. These pages are marked noindex and excluded from our sitemap.

Google Analytics data is retained for 14 months (GA4 default). Affiliate click logs are retained for up to 12 months and are used only for internal reporting. No personal data is stored by Zotopie directly.
