Privacy policy
Verdict Hound is a static website. We do not ask you to create an account. This page explains what we and our service providers may collect when you visit, subscribe or follow an outbound link.
Cookie consent
Google analytics and advertising cookies are denied by default. When the cookie banner appears, you can accept or reject those cookies. Your choice is stored in your browser so we can respect it on later visits, and you can change it any time using Cookie settings in the footer.
Advertising
If you accept cookies, we may use Google AdSense to display advertising. Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve and measure ads based on your visits to this and other websites. If you reject cookies, we do not load the AdSense script.
You can also opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of third-party vendor cookies at aboutads.info.
Affiliate links
Retailer links on this site are usually affiliate links. When you follow one, the retailer may set a cookie to attribute any resulting purchase to us. We receive aggregate commission reporting from these programs; we do not receive your name, address or payment details. See the affiliate disclosure for more.
Analytics and logs
This site is served as static files by our hosting provider, which may record standard request logs such as IP address, user agent and requested URL for security and operational purposes.
If you accept cookies, we use Google Analytics to understand which reviews people read and how they found them. It sets cookies to recognise returning visits and reports to us in aggregate — page views, referring sites, approximate region and device type. If you reject cookies, analytics storage remains denied.
You can also prevent Google Analytics collection with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. Blocking analytics does not affect access to any content on this site.
Newsletter
If the newsletter form is available and you submit your email address, that address is sent to our newsletter provider for subscription handling. We use it only to send the newsletter or manage your subscription. If you do not submit the form, we do not collect your email address.
Your choices
You can reject optional cookies in our banner, reopen Cookie settings from the footer, or block and delete cookies in your browser settings at any time. Blocking advertising or analytics cookies does not affect access to any content on this site.
Changes
If this policy changes materially, the updated version will be published on this page.
