Privacy Policy
Last updated: 2026-11-01
Overview
This policy explains what information is processed when you visit cataloguethisweek.com (the "site"), why, and what choices you have. The site has no user accounts, no registration and no online shop, so we collect very little directly.
Information we process
Depending on how you use the site, the following information may be processed:
- Technical data sent by your browser to our server, such as IP address, date and time, requested page, browser and device type, and referring page. This is stored in server logs for security and troubleshooting.
- Usage statistics collected by analytics tools (see the section on third-party services below), such as pages viewed, approximate location, language and how you interact with the pages.
- Information you choose to send us through the contact form: your name, e-mail address and message.
Third-party services
To understand how the site is used and to fund it, we use services provided by other companies. They may set cookies or similar technologies and process data such as your IP address and browsing behaviour according to their own privacy policies:
- Google Analytics 4 (Google) for anonymised usage statistics.
- Microsoft Clarity (Microsoft) for aggregated heatmaps and session replays that help us improve the layout.
- Google AdSense (Google) to show advertising. Google and its partners may use cookies to show ads based on your visits to this and other websites.
- Our hosting provider, which processes server logs on our behalf.
Why we process data
We process technical and usage data to operate and secure the site, to measure and improve it and to finance it through advertising. Where the law requires your consent for cookies or similar technologies, the processing is based on that consent; otherwise it is based on our legitimate interest in running and improving the site. Messages sent through the contact form are used only to reply to you.
Sharing and transfers
We do not sell personal information. Data is shared only with the service providers listed above and with authorities where the law requires it. Some providers are located outside your country, including in the United States; they apply safeguards such as standard contractual clauses where required.
Retention
Server logs are kept for a limited period and then deleted or anonymised. Analytics and advertising data are retained according to the settings and policies of the respective providers. Contact messages are kept only as long as needed to answer them and to document the request.
Your rights and choices
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct or delete your personal data, to restrict or object to its processing, to withdraw consent at any time and to lodge a complaint with your data protection authority. To exercise these rights, contact us through the contact page.
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. You can manage personalised advertising in your Google Ads Settings and through opt-out tools such as youronlinechoices.eu or optout.aboutads.info. You can also opt out of Google Analytics with the browser add-on provided by Google.
Google advertising cookies
Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings (adssettings.google.com). Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalised advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info or youronlinechoices.eu.
Visitors from the EEA, the UK and Switzerland (GDPR)
If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, you have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, to have it rectified or erased, to restrict or object to its processing, to receive it in a portable format and to withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of earlier processing. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. Cookies and similar technologies that are not strictly necessary are only used with your consent, which you can give, refuse or change through the consent banner and the link in the footer.
To exercise a right, use the contact page. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request.
Visitors from California and other US states (CCPA / CPRA)
If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information is collected, used, shared or sold, to request deletion or correction, and to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. We do not sell personal information in exchange for money. Advertising and analytics cookies may count as "sharing" for cross-context behavioural advertising; you can opt out by rejecting those cookies in the consent banner, by using Google Ads Settings, or by enabling a browser signal such as Global Privacy Control. We will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights. Residents of other US states with comparable laws have similar rights and can use the contact page to exercise them.
Children
The site is not directed to children and we do not knowingly collect personal data from them.
Changes and contact
We may update this policy from time to time; the date at the top shows the latest revision. Questions about privacy can be sent through the contact page.
