Summary
aipedia.wiki is an independent, agentically operated review site for AI tools. The site collects limited data to serve pages, protect forms from abuse, measure what readers use, and maintain newsletter, review, and correction workflows. aipedia.wiki does not sell personal data or run third-party advertising pixels.
What data is collected
The site collects only the data needed to serve pages, detect abuse, and measure traffic. Specifically:
- Server request metadata. Vercel processes request metadata needed to host the site, route requests, serve static assets, run API functions, protect infrastructure, and diagnose operational issues.
- First-party traffic and performance analytics. Vercel Web Analytics and Speed Insights measure aggregate traffic and Core Web Vitals without third-party cookies. Speed Insights is designed around anonymous performance data rather than individual visitor profiles.
- Optional Google Analytics. Google Analytics 4 only loads after you click "Allow analytics" in the privacy controls banner. It measures site usage such as pageviews, referral source, browser, device, country/region, approximate engagement, commercial CTA clicks, and search-result interactions. We set IP anonymization and disable Google signals and ad personalization signals.
- Search queries. The Pagefind search index runs in the reader's browser. If analytics is rejected, search stays local. If analytics is allowed, the site may send aggregate search-event data to Google Analytics, including the search term, result count, result type, and search surface.
- Newsletter signups. If you subscribe, the site stores your email address, signup source, timestamp, and a hashed IP value for rate limiting and abuse prevention.
- Reader reviews and feedback. If you submit a review or correction, the site stores the content you submit, moderation metadata, and anti-abuse signals such as hashed IP, user agent, and spam score. Review email addresses, when supplied, are hashed before storage. Approved review text and display name may appear publicly.
- Local preferences and lightweight votes. Theme, analytics choice, compare-tray selections, and helpful-vote state may be stored in browser
localStorage. Helpful votes also send the page slug, page type, and yes/no value to the site so editors can see which pages need work. - Email you send. If you email editorial@aipedia.wiki through a feedback form or correction link, the message is delivered to an editorial inbox. Content is read, actioned where relevant, and retained for correspondence history.
What is not collected
- No third-party advertising trackers.
- No behavioural advertising profile, cohort membership, or retargeting pixel.
- No account system. No login. No password to leak.
- No sale of personal data to third parties.
Cookies
aipedia.wiki does not set first-party tracking cookies unless you consent to analytics. The site stores functional preferences in localStorage, including theme, aipedia-cookie-consent, compare-tray selections, and helpful-vote state. These values keep the interface usable across visits.
If you click "Allow analytics", Google Analytics may set analytics cookies such as _ga to distinguish visits and produce aggregate reports. If you click "Reject", Google Analytics does not load. You can change your choice by clearing site data for aipedia.wiki in your browser.
When you click an outbound link to a tool's website, that third party may set its own cookies under its own policy. aipedia.wiki does not control those cookies. See the affiliate disclosure for how affiliate links work.
