ATTIC collects minimal personal user data, avoids "dark patterns," and aims to improve the online shopping experience. By doing so, we also hope to promote healthier consumption habits. We genuinely respect you and your privacy. We want consumers and vendors to thrive alike.
We wrote ATTIC's "(Not Just a) Privacy Policy" to help you understand what information we collect and how that information is used. We also thought it would be helpful to share a bit about how many consumer-focused websites handle your privacy.
Your Email Address, Stays Yours
ATTIC does not require an account or login to use our services. The only time we collect your email is when you voluntarily subscribe to our email newsletter. This list is currently managed by MailChimp, and we do not merge it with website analytics data.
Dark Patterns
Dark patterns are techniques used by websites to manipulate user behavior, often leading users to take actions that may not be in their best interest. Common examples include false urgency messages such as "Only one left in stock!" or infinite scrolling that encourages endless engagement.
ATTIC's design team avoids dark patterns as a rule. We believe in creating an ethical, transparent shopping experience. Instead of infinite scroll, we require users to opt into loading more content. We do not use manipulative urgency tactics to push purchases. Our goal is to provide a platform where users can make informed decisions without pressure.
Cookies, Tracking, and Analytics
We use both Google Analytics and Plausible Analytics to analyze website traffic and improve our services. Plausible Analytics is a privacy-friendly tool that does not collect personally identifiable information or set tracking cookies. Google Analytics, however, uses cookies and collects IP addresses.
We also use Google AdSense and Ezoic for advertising. These services may use cookies, fingerprinting, and other tracking technologies to collect non-personally identifiable data about your browsing activity. While ATTIC does not directly use cookies for tracking, our advertising partners may place cookies in your browser to display relevant ads.

Our web servers automatically log IP addresses for security and operational purposes. Additionally, services such as Google Analytics and Ezoic may collect IP addresses for analytical and advertising purposes. However, we do not use this data to personally identify users.
Affiliate Marketing & Cookies
ATTIC participates in affiliate marketing networks, including Awin, ShareASale, eBay, and Partnerize. When you click an affiliate link, these networks may place a cookie in your browser to track purchases and attribute sales. These cookies do not store personally identifiable information but may track product interactions.
