Welcome to Mug Lifers.
This website was created for people who enjoy coffee, conversation, routines, recipes, gear, and the little moments that tend to happen around a mug. I also take your privacy seriously, and I want to explain in plain English what information may be collected while you use this site and how it may be used.
No legal gymnastics. No confusing corporate language. Just the basics you should know.
Who Runs This Website?
Mug Lifers is operated by Michael Gray.

Information This Website May Collect
Like most modern websites, Mug Lifers may collect certain information automatically when you visit.
This can include things like:
- Your browser type
- Device type
- Pages visited
- Time spent on the site
- Referring websites
- Approximate location data
- IP address
This information helps me understand what content people enjoy, what needs improvement, and how the site is performing overall.
I’m not sitting here personally tracking individual readers while drinking coffee at 2 a.m. wondering who clicked what. Most of this data is collected through standard analytics tools and website software.
Cookies
Mug Lifers may use cookies.
Cookies are small files stored on your device that help websites function properly and improve your experience. They can help remember preferences, measure traffic, or support embedded content and advertising.
You can disable cookies in your browser settings if you prefer. Some parts of the website may not function perfectly afterward, but that choice is completely up to you.
Advertising and Affiliate Links
Some pages on Mug Lifers may contain affiliate links.
This means I may earn a small commission if you click a link and make a purchase, at no additional cost to you. These commissions help support the site, hosting costs, coffee expenses… you know, the essentials.
I only recommend products, services, or tools I believe may genuinely help readers.
Mug Lifers may also display third-party advertising in the future through platforms like Google AdSense or similar services. These advertising providers may use cookies or tracking technologies to personalize ads.
Analytics
This website may use analytics tools such as:
- Google Analytics
- Search Console tools
- Website performance and traffic monitoring services
These tools help me understand which content performs well and where readers are finding the site.
The information collected is generally aggregated and not personally identifiable.
Email Communication
If you contact Mug Lifers by email or subscribe to a newsletter in the future, your information will only be used to respond to you or send the content you requested.
I do not sell personal information to third parties.
Ever.
Because honestly, nobody likes that.
Embedded Content
Articles on Mug Lifers may include embedded content from other platforms such as:
- YouTube
- Social media platforms
- Videos
- Images
- External articles
Embedded content from other websites behaves the same way as if you visited those websites directly. Those websites may collect data about you, use cookies, or track interactions according to their own privacy policies.
Third-Party Links
You may find links on Mug Lifers that lead to other websites.
Once you leave this site, I’m not responsible for the privacy practices or content found on those external websites. It’s always a good idea to review their policies if you have concerns.
Data Protection
Reasonable measures are taken to help protect this website and its visitors.
That said, no website or online platform can guarantee absolute security. The internet is still the internet. Weird things happen sometimes.
Children’s Privacy
Mug Lifers is not intended for children under 13 years old, and the site does not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
This privacy policy may be updated occasionally as the website grows, changes, or adds new features.
When updates happen, the revised date at the top of this page will also be updated.
