This notice describes Gear Centric’s website and local buying tools. It was updated on 12 September 2026.
Delivery preference
If you enter a delivery postcode, the app stores it in a first-party cookie for up to 30 days so buying tools can use that delivery scope. Use Clear beside the postcode to remove it. You can browse without entering a postcode.
Local preferences
Comparison selections can appear in page URLs. If you choose Save comparison, up to 12 comparisons are stored in this browser, including their names, models, comparison settings and save dates. They do not sync between devices. Remove them from Saved comparisons or clear site data. Price records are not saved with them. Finder and filter choices are held in the page while you use it. The watchlist stores up to 24 exact controller or keyboard configurations in this browser, including target prices, save dates and the seller observations seen on your previous visit. Those observations are comparison notes; current offers are read again from our price records. Watchlists do not sync between devices and do not send email or push notifications. Remove an item from Watchlist or clear site data to remove it. These tools do not create an account.
Controller tester
The controller tester reads inputs locally while its page is visible. Browser-reported controller names, measurements and your optional setup notes stay in page memory and are cleared when you leave or reload. Download report creates a local text file with those observations and your browser information. The optional raw JSON export also includes recorded samples. This tool does not upload controller inputs, create a device fingerprint for tracking or save test results to your account.
Correction reports
The contact tool creates a report on your device. It does not silently upload it. If a contact email is configured, you can open a draft in your email app and choose whether to send it. Include only information needed to explain the issue.
Visitor analytics
The public gearcentric.co website uses Google Analytics 4 to understand visits, pages used, referral sources and general browser and device information. Google Analytics uses cookies and records usage events according to the site’s analytics settings. We also record successful watchlist saves and target updates, comparisons opened, completed controller checks and retailer-link clicks as usage events. Event fields are limited to the catalogue category or product identifier, retailer name, number of compared models and check type. We do not include delivery postcodes, target budgets, saved-comparison names, browser-reported controller identities, controller inputs, test results or setup notes in these custom events. Advertising personalisation signals are disabled in the tag configuration. Analytics is not loaded on localhost or preview deployments. You can restrict analytics cookies or requests through your browser settings or a content blocker.
Vercel Web Analytics
Production deployments also use Vercel Web Analytics to understand visitor counts, page views, referral sources and general device and browser information. Vercel Web Analytics does not use third-party cookies. This integration records page visits and does not send delivery postcodes, saved-comparison names, controller inputs, test results or setup notes as custom events. It is disabled for local development and preview deployments. Learn how Vercel processes these analytics at https://vercel.com/docs/analytics/privacy-policy.
External services
The website is hosted on Vercel. Hosting requests may generate operational logs. Retailer and manufacturer links take you to other websites with their own privacy practices. Google processes analytics information under its own privacy policy, available at https://policies.google.com/privacy.
