Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 2026

Back 40 (back40forum.com) is operated by Roger Choate. This policy explains what information we collect, why, and what we do with it.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use the site — which pages get read, how people find us, and what content is most useful. This data is aggregated and anonymous. We don't track individual users or build profiles.

We also use Cloudflare for site performance and security, which collects standard web traffic data (IP addresses, page requests) as part of its CDN service.

Cookies

This site uses cookies for:

• Analytics: Google Analytics sets cookies to distinguish unique visitors and sessions.
• Advertising: Google AdSense may set cookies to serve relevant ads and measure ad performance.
• Affiliate tracking: Amazon and Impact Radius may set cookies when you click affiliate links to track referrals.

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. The site will still work, though some features may be limited.

Email Subscriptions

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address. We use it to send seasonal planting guides, trail camera tips, and gear reviews. That's it.

• We don't sell, rent, or share your email with third parties.
• You can unsubscribe at any time.
• We store subscriber data securely on our hosting server.

Affiliate Links

Some pages contain affiliate links to Amazon and other retailers. When you click these links, those sites may collect data according to their own privacy policies. We recommend reviewing:

• Amazon's Privacy Notice
• Google's Privacy Policy

Data We Don't Collect

• We don't require account creation or login.
• We don't collect payment information.
• We don't track your location beyond what analytics provides (country/region level).
• We don't sell personal data to anyone. Ever.
