Odd Finds ("we", "us", "this site") is a UK-based curiosity blog at oddfinds.co.uk. This page explains what data is collected when you visit, how cookies are used, and how to control them. This is general information, not legal advice.
Who runs this site
Odd Finds is operated independently. You can contact us at hello@oddfinds.co.uk with any questions about this policy.
What data we collect
We don't ask you to create an account, sign up, or hand over personal details to browse this site. The only data collected is the standard technical information gathered automatically by:
- Our hosting provider (for example, your IP address and browser type, used to serve the page and prevent abuse)
- Any analytics tool we use to see how many people visit and which pages are popular (aggregated, not tied to your name)
- Advertising partners, if and when ads are running on the site (see below)
Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. This site may use:
- Essential cookies — needed for the site to function (e.g. remembering that you've dismissed the cookie banner). These can't be switched off.
- Analytics cookies — help us understand traffic in aggregate.
- Advertising cookies — set by Google AdSense (once active) to show relevant ads and measure performance. Google may use these cookies across other sites you visit.
You can control or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect how the site displays but won't prevent you from reading it.
Advertising
This site may display ads served by Google AdSense. Google and its partners use cookies to serve ads based on your visits to this and other websites. You can learn more about how Google uses data and opt out of personalised advertising at policies.google.com/technologies/ads.
Affiliate links
Odd Finds is a participant in the Amazon Associates Programme, an affiliate advertising programme designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by linking to Amazon. If you click an "Acquire" link on this site and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. Product names, prices, and availability shown on this site are believed accurate at the time of writing but can change on Amazon's side at any time — always check the listing before buying.
Your rights
If you're in the UK or EU, you have rights under UK GDPR / GDPR relating to any personal data held about you, including the right to ask what's held and to have it deleted. Since this site doesn't collect names, emails, or account data directly, there's very little to hold — most data described above sits with our hosting, analytics, and advertising providers under their own privacy policies.
Changes to this policy
We may update this page from time to time as the site changes (for example, once advertising goes live). Check back occasionally for the latest version.
