- Collect or share any usage statistics or analytics data
Affiliate Links
When you click a coupon code in our extension, CouponFor may open an affiliate link to the merchant's website. This helps us maintain the free service. Affiliate tracking is performed by the merchant, not by CouponFor, and is subject to the merchant's privacy policy.

- Hidden site preferences are stored locally on your device only and never transmitted to our servers
- We use industry-standard encryption (HTTPS) for all API communications
