How reader data, cookies, analytics, and affiliate tracking fit together.

4Aerials is the controller for personal information collected through this website. Contact us at [email protected].

We may collect contact details you send to us, technical logs, approximate location derived from network information, device/browser data, cookie identifiers, analytics events, and affiliate click information.

We use this information to operate the site, respond to messages, protect the service, understand which guides are useful, measure affiliate links, and comply with legal duties.

Our lawful bases may include legitimate interests, consent where required for cookies or similar technologies, contract where you ask us to respond, and legal obligation where records must be kept.

Cookies and similar technologies may support site functionality, analytics, preference storage, affiliate tracking, fraud prevention, and performance measurement. You can manage browser settings and any consent tools shown on the site.

Affiliate links may send click identifiers, page context, time, and referral data to merchants or affiliate networks so they can attribute a visit or purchase. Merchant sites run their own privacy practices.

We may share data with hosting providers, analytics services, email providers, affiliate networks, merchants, security tools, professional advisers, or authorities where required. We do not sell reader personal information as a standalone list.

Some providers may process data outside the UK or EEA. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as adequacy decisions, contractual protections, or service-provider controls.

We keep contact messages, logs, analytics, and affiliate records only as long as reasonably needed for the purposes described, then delete or anonymise them where practical.

UK and EEA readers may have rights to access, correct, erase, restrict, object, port data, and withdraw consent. You can also complain to the UK ICO or your local supervisory authority.

This site is not aimed at children. We use reasonable security measures and update this policy when the site, providers, or legal requirements change.
