Privacy & disclosure
What this site collects, and how it may earn money.
Last updated: October 8, 2026
Affiliate disclosure
Some links from Gift Shop Atlas to museum shops may be affiliate links. When they are, we may earn a small commission if you buy something after following the link. This never changes the price you pay, and it does not decide which products appear on the site: listings come from the shops' catalogs, not from payments.
What we collect
You can use this site without an account. We only ask for your email address if you choose to sign up for our newsletter, and the site does not set cookies or run advertising trackers.
To learn which pages are useful, we use Cloudflare Web Analytics. It counts page views and records the page you came from, your browser and device type and your country. It does this without cookies or other storage on your device and without following you across other websites, and it does not tell us who you are.
Like any website, our hosting provider keeps standard server logs (IP address, browser type, pages requested and time) for security and to keep the site running.
Newsletter
If you sign up, your email address is stored by Kit (kit.com), the service we use to send the newsletter. We first send one email asking you to confirm; nothing else is sent until you do. Every newsletter has a link to unsubscribe in one click, and you can also ask us to delete your address at hello@giftshopatlas.com. We do not sell or share the list.
So that we do not ask twice, your browser keeps a small note on your own device (local storage) when you close or use the sign-up box. It is never sent to us.
Other services your browser contacts
- Product images load directly from the museum shops' image servers.
- Fonts load from Google Fonts.
- Cloudflare Web Analytics receives the page view described above.
These services receive your IP address and browser details as part of delivering those files, under their own privacy policies.
Links to museum shops
Links from this site to a museum shop carry a short tag telling the shop that the visit came from Gift Shop Atlas. Once you are on a museum shop's website, that shop's own privacy policy and terms apply.
If we join an affiliate network, that network may use cookies to record that a purchase came from a link on this site. If that happens, this page will be updated to say so.
Changes and questions
We will update this page when the way the site works changes. Questions: hello@giftshopatlas.com
