Privacy policy

Updated on
In short

Switchr.be sets no cookies and collects no personal data. The only audience measurement is our host Cloudflare’s: aggregated, cookie-free and identifier-free — which is why no consent banner is required or shown. No consent banner is displayed because there is nothing to consent to.

What the site does not do

It sets no cookie — not technical, not analytics, not advertising. You can check this in your browser's developer tools.

It runs no JavaScript of its own. The pages are static HTML; the only script loaded is our host Cloudflare’s visit counter, described below, which can neither identify you nor follow you across sites.

It makes no request to any third party, with one exception: the visit counter of Cloudflare, our host. Stylesheets are inlined in the pages, fonts come from your own system, images are hosted with the site. No ad network, no pixel, no social widget.

It has no form, no account, no newsletter. We therefore cannot collect an email address, a phone number or a preference, even if we wanted to.

What happens when you click through to a supplier

Links to suppliers' sites take you off Switchr.be. From that moment the supplier's own privacy policy applies, and they alone decide what is placed on your device.

Some of those links pass through an affiliate network that records the click in order to attribute a possible commission. That mechanism belongs to the network concerned and happens outside our pages; we see it only as an aggregated count of sign-ups, with no identifying data.

If you would rather avoid that tracking, type the supplier's name into your browser instead of clicking the link. The price you get will be identical.

What the host records

The site is hosted on a content delivery infrastructure. Like any web server, it technically processes your IP address for as long as it takes to serve you the page, and keeps security logs to protect itself against abuse.

That processing is the host's, not ours: we have access to no named log and exploit none.

No data is passed to a third party for commercial, advertising or statistical purposes, for the simple reason that no data is collected.

Your rights

European data protection law gives you rights of access, rectification, erasure and objection. Those rights are exercised over data that the controller holds.

In our case we hold no data about you: there is therefore nothing to consult, rectify or erase. If you write to us, the address you use serves only to reply to you; it is neither kept for other purposes nor added to any list.

Should this policy ever change — for example if audience measurement were added — this page would be amended and its update date would reflect that before anything was put in place.

Our verdict

Most sites ask you to accept trackers, then explain at length what they do with them. Here the policy fits in one sentence: nothing is set and nothing is collected. What follows spells out what that means, including for what lies outside our control.

Frequently asked questions

Why is there no cookie banner?

Because the site sets no cookies. A consent banner only makes sense if there are trackers to accept or refuse. Showing one without any tracker would mean asking permission for something that does not happen.

How can I verify that nothing is set?

Open your browser’s developer tools, Application or Storage tab: the cookie list for this domain is empty. The Network tab shows a single outgoing request, to static.cloudflareinsights.com — our host’s cookie-free visit counter — and nothing else.

Do affiliate links track me?

The click is recorded by the affiliate network, outside our pages, to attribute a possible commission. We receive only an aggregated count of sign-ups, with no identifying data. You can bypass the mechanism by typing the supplier's name into your browser.

Do you use Google Analytics?

No. Audience measurement is Cloudflare Web Analytics, our host’s cookie-free tool: it counts page views and measures loading speed, in aggregate, with no cookie, no browser fingerprint and no individual identifier. It cannot recognise you from one visit to the next or follow you to another site — which is why it needs no consent, where Google Analytics does.
