Plain English. No legal maze, because there is nothing to hide.
getbeans.eu is a free search engine for European specialty coffee. We sell nothing, we run no ads, and we don't track you across the internet. Every coffee links to the roaster's own store — what happens there is between you and them.
We use exactly one optional thing: Google Analytics, and only if you click Accept on the cookie bar. It counts visits and which roaster links get clicked, so we know whether the site is useful. If you click Reject — or click nothing — no analytics load, no cookies are set, nothing is collected. Your choice is stored in your own browser, not on our servers.
Changed your mind? — the cookie bar will show again at the bottom of the page.
Your delivery country, delivering-from selection, currency and search preferences live in your own browser (localStorage) and never leave your device. If you accepted analytics, Google Analytics sets its usual _ga cookies — we see aggregate numbers, never you personally. That's the complete list.
Product data comes from Shopify's Global Catalog and the roasters' own public stores. Prices, stock and shipping details are fetched live but can lag or be plain wrong — always check the roaster's site before buying. If you're a roaster and want something fixed or removed, write to me@rubenbristian.com and it's done, no questions asked.
You never buy anything on getbeans. Every purchase happens on the roaster's own store, under their prices, shipping, taxes and refund policies. We currently earn nothing from your clicks — no affiliate fees, no commissions, no sponsored placements.
This is a hobby project, provided as-is. We try hard to keep everything accurate but can't guarantee it, and we're not responsible for what happens on roasters' stores. Use it to find great coffee, not as professional advice.
