Privacy
What this site collects, which is very little, and what it does with it.
The short version
This site has no accounts, no logins, no comments, no newsletter and no contact form. There is nowhere to type your name, so we don't hold it. We run one analytics tool and we use affiliate links. That's the whole picture.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 to count visits and see which pages people read. It sets cookies and records the usual things: approximate location derived from IP, device and browser, referring page, and which pages you viewed. IP addresses are anonymised by Google before we ever see anything, and we see aggregates rather than individuals.
We use this for one purpose — working out which guides are worth the effort of keeping current. It isn't used for advertising, isn't sold, and isn't combined with anything else.
To opt out: any modern browser's tracker blocking will stop it, as will Google's official opt-out add-on. Nothing on this site breaks if you block it.
Affiliate links
When you click through to a provider, that provider knows you came from here — usually through a tracking parameter or a cookie set on their domain. What they do with it is governed by their privacy policy, not ours. We receive only aggregate reporting: how many clicks and how many sales, with no identifying detail about who.
More on how the affiliate relationship works.
Hosting
The site is served as static files by Cloudflare, which processes request logs including IP addresses for security and delivery. See Cloudflare's privacy policy. We don't operate an application server and we don't keep our own logs.
Your rights
If you're in the UK or EU, the GDPR gives you rights of access, correction and erasure over personal data held about you. Since the only data connected to you here sits inside Google Analytics in aggregated form, there's realistically nothing to retrieve — but if you'd like us to try, write to hello@cheapsimcard.com and we'll do what we can and tell you honestly what we couldn't.
Changes
If this policy changes materially, the date at the top of this page changes with it.
