Cookies

This site uses cookies — small text files stored on your device — for the following purposes:

Essential cookies — required for the site to function correctly. These cannot be disabled.

Analytics cookies — used to understand how visitors use the site. We may use Google Analytics or similar tools. You can opt out of Google Analytics at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Advertising cookies — if you click an affiliate link on this site and visit Amazon, REI, YETI, or other partner sites, those sites may set their own cookies to track purchases. We have no control over third-party cookies set after you leave setxcamping.com.

Affiliate links and third parties

SETX Camping participates in affiliate programs including:

  • Amazon Associates
  • REI Affiliate Program
  • YETI Affiliate Program
  • Dick’s Sporting Goods Affiliate Program

When you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. These programs use cookies to track referrals. Clicking an affiliate link means you are leaving setxcamping.com and are subject to the privacy policy of the destination site.

We only recommend products we believe are genuinely useful. Affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial content or reviews.

Google Analytics

This site may use Google Analytics to track visitor behavior and traffic sources. Google Analytics collects anonymized data about how you use the site. Google’s privacy policy is available at policies.google.com/privacy.

Data security

We take reasonable steps to protect your information. Your email address is stored securely through MailerLite. We do not store payment information — any purchases made through affiliate links are processed entirely by the destination retailer.

No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. While we do our best to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
