Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains what information DodgyStick.com may collect, how it may be used, and what choices visitors have when using the site.
This site is an informational UK streaming guide. It is designed to steer people toward legal options and may contain affiliate links to legitimate products or services.
If site tools, analytics, contact methods, or advertising change over time, this policy should be updated to reflect those changes.
What information may be collected?
Like most websites, DodgyStick.com may collect limited technical information automatically, such as browser type, approximate location based on IP address, pages viewed, referral source, and timestamps.
The hosting provider may also keep standard server logs for security, performance, and troubleshooting purposes.
If a visitor contacts the site directly in the future, any information they choose to provide, such as a name or email address, may also be received and stored for the purpose of replying.
How may that information be used?
Information may be used to keep the site working properly, understand which pages are useful, improve content, monitor basic traffic patterns, prevent abuse, and measure whether readers find helpful legal alternatives.
Information is not collected for the purpose of selling personal data.
Cookies, analytics, and affiliate links
DodgyStick.com uses a cookie and analytics consent banner so visitors can choose whether analytics cookies are allowed.
If analytics consent is accepted, the site may use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use the website, which pages are helpful, and how people move through the site.
If analytics consent is rejected, analytics tracking should not load. Some affiliate links and third-party destinations may still use their own cookies or tracking under their own policies if you click through to them.
Your choices and your rights
You can accept or reject analytics cookies through the cookie banner, and you can reopen those settings later using the Cookie settings control shown on the site.
You can also manage cookies through your browser settings, avoid clicking third-party affiliate links if you prefer, and choose not to provide personal information voluntarily.
If you are in a jurisdiction where data protection rights apply, you may also have rights relating to access, correction, or deletion of personal data, subject to the nature of the information actually held.
