Privacy

Age

Ranked Cigars is for adults 21 and older. The age check is stored in this browser so you are not asked on every visit. We do not use it to identify you.

Accounts, votes, and notes

Without an account, likes, passes, and private notes stay on this device. Want to try is saved to an account, so that list starts after you sign in.

With an account, your email, likes, passes, Want to try list, and notes are stored so they can sync between devices. Only you can read those rows. Community totals are counts only — other people cannot see how you voted.

A review you choose to post is public, under the name you pick or “Ranked Cigars member”. You can export or delete your account from Profile.

Photos

Catalog photos come from makers and retailers that permit them, with a credit on the cigar page. A photo you submit is stored privately until someone approves it. It is not shown before that.

Location and shops

Near me and ZIP or city search run in your browser. We do not store a location profile from those searches.

Analytics

After you confirm you are 21 or older, Ranked Cigars loads Google Analytics. It counts page visits and a few actions: a like or pass, adding a cigar to Want to try, a retailer click, a shop directions or phone tap, and a contact form send. Those events do not include your name, email, or note. Choosing “I am not” on the age check leaves without loading it.

Affiliate links and feedback

Some retailer links are affiliate links. If you buy through one, Ranked Cigars may earn a commission. That does not change rankings, and we do not sell your personal information.

Messages sent from Contact are stored so we can read them. Include an email only if you want a reply.
