Privacy Policy

What we collect from you

This site sets no analytics or advertising cookies and loads no third-party analytics or advertising scripts. The only measurements are an aggregate, first-party count of outbound vendor-link clicks, described below where enabled, and a press-link count: links in our press emails go through /r/press, which counts visits in aggregate only, with no cookie and nothing about the visitor stored. The Scanner page loads Cloudflare Turnstile, an anti-bot check, as described in the Scanner Privacy Policy. Cloudflare hosts the site and, as our hosting and network provider, processes technical request information (such as your IP address) to deliver each page.

If you email us, we receive your email address and the information you choose to provide. We use that information to respond to your request. Please do not send passwords, payment details or other sensitive information by email.

What we measure — about vendors, not visitors

The pre-consent tracking data published on this site describes the behavior of third-party vendor websites (consent management platforms), measured by our own automated tooling loading those sites in a controlled test environment. It is not data collected from CookieTelemetry's own visitors.

No affiliate links

This site contains no affiliate links. Until 24 September 2026 we were enrolled in the affiliate programmes of Termly, CookieYes, Complianz, Enzuzo and CookieHub; we earned no commissions, and on 24 September 2026 we gave notice to leave all five and removed every affiliate link from this site (the CookieYes agreement ended on 24 October 2026, under its 30-day notice term). Every vendor link on this site points to that vendor's own plain website. See ourindependence statement for the full disclosure and dates.

Business contacts and press

When we write to a business or a journalist, we use a work email address that the organisation or person published on its own website. Controller: Aviad Revach, trading as CookieTelemetry, 27 Balfour St., Nahariya 2242627, Israel, agency@cookietelemetry.com. Purpose: one message offering a free private scan, or a press note about our research. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in telling relevant businesses and journalists about our work (GDPR / UK GDPR art. 6(1)(f)). We keep the name, work address, organisation, source page and our message log. If you do not reply, we delete the details after 12 months; if you object, we delete them at once and keep only your address on a suppression list, so that we never write again. Email is handled by our providers Google (Gmail) and Zoho. You may object at any time (reply STOP or write to agency@cookietelemetry.com), and you may ask for access, correction or erasure. You may complain to your data protection authority (in the UK, the ICO; in Ireland, the Data Protection Commission; in France, the CNIL). Israel has an EU adequacy decision.
