Cookie Policy | who-called-me.uk

We use a small number of cookies to make this site work properly and to understand how it is being used. We do not use advertising cookies or third-party tracking that follows you around the internet.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They serve different purposes – some are essential for the site to function, others help us understand how visitors use the site. Cookies can be "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (which remain on your device for a set period).

Cookies do not typically identify you as a person – they identify your browser. Most of the information stored in cookies on who-called-me.uk is anonymous.

Google Analytics and Data Processing

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use who-called-me.uk. Google Analytics collects information such as which pages are visited, how long visitors spend on the site, and what device and browser type is used. This information is aggregated and anonymous – it cannot be used to identify individual visitors.

We have enabled IP anonymisation in Google Analytics, which means the last part of each visitor's IP address is removed before storage. We have a Data Processing Agreement with Google as required by UK GDPR.

You can opt out of Google Analytics entirely across all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this cookie policy from time to time as our use of cookies or legal requirements change. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last updated.
