Handled by the host
This information is processed by the hosting and delivery provider, under that provider’s own practices and retention, to serve pages and keep them secure.
Not built on by BenchRoot
BenchRoot’s site has no server code or database of its own, and it does not use this information to build profiles of readers.
Same-site files
Pages, fonts, images and page data are all served from BenchRoot’s own address — no third-party font, analytics or script services are called.
Cookies & storage

Cookies & storage ledgerAs of 27 September 2026
| Purpose | Mechanism | Current status |

Other sites are separate
A website you reach by following a link from BenchRoot may use its own cookies and tracking under its own policy. That happens on the other site, not on BenchRoot.
Your choices
You can block cookies, clear site data or browse privately in your browser. Because BenchRoot sets no cookies, none of these changes how the site works. There is no cookie banner because there is nothing for it to ask about.

- Reference pages and calculators
- No cookies, no tracking scripts
- This privacy policy applies
External websiteExternal
- Its own terms and privacy policy
- Its own cookies and tracking
- Its own checkout and data handling
- An affiliate relationship does not give BenchRoot control over a seller’s checkout, data handling or privacy practices.
- How an external site or affiliate program records a visit is described in that site’s or program’s own policies.
- Affiliate links go straight to the retailer — Amazon links always do — or through a BenchRoot redirect such as /go/teds-woodworking, which only forwards your browser to the partner. The redirect runs no script and sets no cookie on BenchRoot.
- Following a link is always the reader’s choice.

If you buy something on another website after following a link, that purchase — and the information you give for it — is handled by that site.
Retention
RecordsNothing Kept That Isn’t Needed.
- Reader records
- BenchRoot stores no submitted forms, profiles or accounts — there is nothing of that kind to retain.
- Calculator values
- Held only while the page is open, and gone when you reload or leave.
- Request information
- Kept, if at all, by the hosting and delivery provider under its own retention practices. BenchRoot does not run a separate log database.

BenchRoot is a general woodworking reference. It is not designed to ask anyone — including children — for personal information, and it has no feature that collects it.

BenchRoot is built to be read and used, not to collect. When the site's data practices change, this page changes with them.
