Privacy
Simple, privacy-first measurement
The site does not require an account or email address. Purchases happen on Etsy or Teachers Pay Teachers and are governed by the marketplace’s own privacy practices.
What this site measures
We count a small set of aggregate events: page views on the home, free printable, guides, Routine Builder, book and catalog; opening a product preview, comparing bundles and choosing a step in the Post Office demonstration; selected Routine Builder actions such as choosing a preset, paper size or layout, adding a custom step, and printing; free PDF download clicks; and clicks from guides or tools to another Prep & Pretend resource, Etsy product, Etsy shop page, or Teachers Pay Teachers product.
Event records contain only the event name, the page route, and allow-listed product, destination, demonstration-step or campaign/source/content labels. Unexpected values are either collapsed to unknown in the guide and tool records or rejected from catalog records. We do not put the full address, raw query string, referrer, email address, advertising click ID, custom routine title, or step wording into these application event records.
When you type or edit a routine title or step, that text stays in your browser. A custom-step event records only that the action occurred and a fixed routine label; it does not include the words you typed.
When you follow a link between our own guides and tools, we may carry forward only recognized source and campaign labels in that internal link. This helps us understand which shared resources lead to useful actions without cookies, storage, or an individual identifier. We do not copy your other incoming query parameters to that link.
Quality-assurance page loads marked with our internal QA flag are discarded and not counted.
What we do not add
This site does not set analytics cookies, create user profiles, use advertising pixels, or intentionally collect names, email addresses, precise locations, or other personal details.
The page code does not read or write browser storage. When a link has no source label, it may check the referring site’s domain to assign a fixed source category. The referring address, path and query are not included in our application event records.
Your browser privacy signals
Measurement is disabled when the browser sends Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track.
Hosting and external links
The hosting provider handles ordinary web requests and may keep operational logs outside this application's aggregate event records. Etsy and Teachers Pay Teachers links are governed by the destination marketplace’s own privacy practices. UTM parameters identify a site campaign or page placement, not an individual visitor.
