Privacy policy
The short version: we don’t track you, we don’t use analytics cookies, banner ads load only if you say yes, and there are no forms on the public site.
Who we are
This policy covers christian-t-shirts.co.uk (“Christian T-Shirts”). You can contact us about privacy at hello@christian-t-shirts.co.uk.
What we collect
- Server logs. Like most websites, our web server keeps standard access logs, which include IP addresses, the pages requested and browser details. They are used for security and troubleshooting.
- Outbound link counts. When you follow a link to another website (for example to Amazon.co.uk), we record the date, the name of the link and the page you clicked it on, so we know which links are useful. We don’t record who you are or your IP address in this count.
- Emails. If you email us, we use your message and address only to reply.
Cookies
We don’t use tracking or analytics cookies, and we set no cookies of our own for visitors. The only cookie from this site is a session cookie for the site owner’s password-protected admin area, which is only set for people who sign in there.
When you first visit, a bar asks whether you’re happy with ads cookies. We keep your answer in your browser’s local storage (or, if that’s blocked, in a small cookie from this site called ads_consent) for 6 months, so we don’t have to ask on every page. It holds only “accept” or “reject” and the date, and it isn’t sent to anyone.
Banner ads
Some pages have up to two banner ads: one under the menu, and one in the page itself — for example after a slogan’s meaning or part-way through a guide. There are none on this page, the terms, affiliate disclosure, contact or photo credits pages. The ads come from 5od (5od.co.uk), a small ad service run by the owner of this site. They’re contextual: 5od chooses a banner to suit the page you’re reading, not you. 5od itself sets no cookies and builds no profile of you; your browser sends it the site, the ad position and size, and the address of the page.
The banners are for shops and brands in the Awin affiliate network. Awin’s banner images and links can set Awin’s own cookies: when a banner is shown, and when you click one, so that a purchase can be credited to us. That’s why nothing loads until you choose:
- Accept ads cookies: banners load, and Awin is told you agreed.
- Reject: no banners load at all, and your browser doesn’t contact 5od or Awin for ads.
- JavaScript off: no ads load and you won’t be asked.
Like any website, 5od’s server sees your IP address when your browser asks it for a banner. 5od doesn’t store raw IP addresses: it keeps a scrambled (salted and hashed) version for up to 2 days, only to limit abuse.
Changing your mind
Use Cookie settings (also at the bottom of every page) to see your current choice and change it at any time. If you switch from accept to reject, banners stop loading straight away. Any Awin cookies already set stay in your browser until they expire, or until you delete them in your browser’s settings (clearing this site’s data also resets your choice, and we’ll ask again).
Everything loads from our own server
Our fonts, images and styles are hosted on this site, so reading a page doesn’t send your details to Google Fonts or social networks. The only exception is the banner ads described above, and only if you accept them. If we ever embed a video, it uses a click-to-play player: nothing loads from YouTube until you press play, and from then on YouTube’s own privacy policy applies.
Amazon and other websites
When you follow a link to Amazon.co.uk or another site, that site’s own privacy and cookie policies apply. Amazon may use cookies to record that you arrived from our site, which is how the Amazon Associates programme works — see our affiliate disclosure.
Your rights
Under UK data protection law you can ask what personal information we hold about you and ask us to correct or delete it. Email us at the address above. If you’re unhappy with how we handle your information, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).
