Privacy, plainly.
ZED DAYS exists to help people find and verify Canadian-made products. That only works if the site itself is honest about what it collects. Here is the complete picture, in plain language.
What we collect
This site uses Cloudflare Web Analytics to see, in aggregate, how many people visit and which pages they look at. It reports basic counts: page views, visit counts, referring sites, approximate country, and device type (phone, tablet, desktop).
That is the only analytics tool on this site.
What we do not collect
- No cookies are set by our analytics.
- No individual visitor is identified, fingerprinted, or tracked across visits.
- No data is tracked across other websites you visit, and nothing is sold or shared with advertisers.
- No personal information is required to search the field guide, the tariff schedule, or the market finder -- they all work anonymously.
Why you might see a "tracker blocked" notice
Privacy-focused browsers and extensions (DuckDuckGo, Brave, Firefox strict mode, uBlock Origin, and similar tools) often flag any third-party analytics script by default, including Cloudflare's -- even when, as here, it collects no personal data. If you see that notice, nothing on the site breaks, and nothing about your visit is lost to us that we would otherwise have had. We would rather you know exactly what that notice means than wonder about it.
Product submissions and contact
When you submit a product for the field guide or contact us, that information travels by email (thezeddays@gmail.com) -- it is never stored on this website or passed to a third party for marketing. Some pages on this site, like the market finder's submission form, are built to prepare an email in your own mail application rather than transmitting anything through the site itself.
Questions
If anything here is unclear, or you would like more detail on a specific point, email thezeddays@gmail.com and we will answer directly.
Support ZED DAYS
This page cost nothing to read but something to build. ZED DAYS is one person's spare-time project -- researching each listing, keeping the analytics honest, and paying for the hosting and research tools that keep it running. If the site has been useful to you, an optional contribution helps keep it going.
