Advertising

City Zip Compare displays advertising from third-party networks, including Google AdSense. These networks may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site or other sites. You can opt out of personalized advertising via Google Ads Settings or aboutads.info/choices.

Analytics

We use privacy-respecting analytics to count pageviews and understand reading patterns in aggregate. Where possible we configure analytics to anonymize IP addresses and disable cross-site tracking.

Sharing

We do not sell personal information. We share information only with service providers (hosting, authentication, analytics, advertising networks) under contracts that limit how they may use it, or when required by law.

Your choices

  • Account deletion: email [email protected] and we will delete your account and associated data within 30 days.
  • Cookies: you can clear or block cookies in your browser settings; some site features may not work without them.
  • Do Not Track: we honor browser DNT signals where technically feasible.
