Privacy and cookie policy
This policy explains what data may be processed when you visit Lord of the Archives and the choices available to you.
Information processed
Our hosting provider necessarily receives technical request information such as IP address, browser type, requested URL, date and time, and security or error logs. We use this information to deliver, protect and maintain the site.
We do not ask visitors to create an account or directly submit personal profile data through this website.
Analytics and advertising cookies
We use Google Analytics to understand aggregate site use and intend to use Google AdSense to fund the archive. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies or similar technologies to measure traffic, prevent fraud and serve ads based on a visitor's prior visits to this and other websites.
Google's use of advertising cookies enables Google and its partners to serve personalised ads where consent has been given. Visitors can opt out of personalised advertising through Google My Ad Center; choices for other participating vendors may be available through aboutads.info.
UK, EEA and Swiss visitors must be shown an appropriate consent choice before non-essential analytics storage or personalised advertising is enabled. Refusing consent should not prevent access to the archive. You can revisit available privacy choices through the consent controls shown on the site.
Google and your choices
Google explains how it uses information from partner sites on its Business Data Responsibility pages. You can manage ad personalisation through Google My Ad Center and can also use browser controls to delete or block cookies.
Some essential storage may be used for security, load balancing or remembering a privacy choice. Retention periods are determined by the relevant service configuration and legal or security needs.
Your rights and updates
Depending on where you live, you may have rights over personal data, including access, correction, erasure, restriction or objection. Contact us through the channels on the Contact page for privacy enquiries.
We may update this policy when the site or its providers change. Last updated: 19 July 2026.
