This Privacy Policy explains how 1031 Exchange Timeline ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and shares information when you visit exchangetimeline.com and its associated tools (collectively, the "Site"). By using the Site, you agree to the terms described below.

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate and improve the Site. Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use the following types:

4. Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to collect aggregated, anonymized data about Site usage. This helps us understand which tools and content are most useful to our visitors. Google Analytics collects data such as session duration, pages per session, and bounce rate.

Google Analytics data is processed in accordance with Google's Privacy Policy. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

5. Affiliate Links

Some links on this Site, including links to Qualified Intermediary services, may be affiliate links. This means we may receive a commission if you click a link and make a purchase or inquiry, at no additional cost to you. We only recommend services we believe are relevant and useful to our users.
