How we handle data

Data Collection & Analytics

enginecreep is an independent project. We do not require you to create an account, and we do not collect personal identifying information like your name or home address. We use standard hosting and security analytics (like Cloudflare) which may temporarily log IP addresses to protect the site from malicious traffic and DDoS attacks.

Cookies & Google AdSense

This site is monetized using Google AdSense. Google and its partners use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site or other websites. When you visit enginecreep from the EU/EEA, a Consent Management pop-up will allow you to accept or reject ad-tracking cookies in accordance with GDPR and TCF v2.2 guidelines. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.

Amazon Associates Disclosure

enginecreep participates in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. When you click on links to replacement parts or tools, we may earn a commission from qualifying purchases at no extra cost to you. Clicking these outbound affiliate links will set a third-party cookie from Amazon to track the referral source.

External Links

Our engine failure summaries may contain links to external forums, Reddit, or official NHTSA databases. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these third-party websites.
