Who we are
Our website address is https://vpnreview.nxtniche.com.
What personal data we collect and why
Server logs
When you visit VPNReview, our server (Nginx) automatically records standard log information: your IP address, browser user agent, referring URL, and the pages you visit. This data is used exclusively for:
- Diagnosing site errors and performance issues
- Understanding aggregate traffic patterns (which articles are popular)
- Protecting against malicious requests
We do not sell, share, or enrich this data. Logs are retained for 30 days and then automatically rotated.
Cloudflare
We use Cloudflare as our CDN and DNS provider. Cloudflare processes your request through their global network and may set their own security cookies. Cloudflare’s privacy policy covers their data handling: Cloudflare Privacy Policy.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand anonymous traffic patterns. Google Analytics collects anonymized data about your device, browser, and interactions with our site. You may opt out using the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
Cookies
VPNReview is a static site. We do not set our own tracking cookies. However, some third-party services we use may set cookies:
| Service | Purpose | Cookie type |
|---|---|---|
| Cloudflare | Security and performance optimization | Essential / functional |
| Google Analytics | Anonymous traffic analysis | Analytics |
| Affiliate networks (Impact, etc.) | Track affiliate referrals | Tracking (see below) |
Cookie consent banner
Upon your first visit, a banner appears asking for your cookie consent. You may:
- Accept — consent to essential and analytics cookies
- Dismiss — decline analytics cookies; essential cookies still apply for site security
Your choice is stored in browser local storage. The banner will reappear after 12 months.
Affiliate links
Some articles on VPNReview contain affiliate links. When you click an affiliate link and sign up for a service, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.
Affiliate links are clearly marked. Our affiliate partners (Impact, Amazon Associates, etc.) may use cookies to track referrals. These cookies are set by the affiliate network, not by us.
See our full Affiliate Disclosure for details.
Embedded content
Articles may include embedded content (YouTube videos, GitHub gists). Embedded content behaves as if you visited the third-party site directly. Those sites may collect data about you, use cookies, and track your interaction.
Who we share your data with
We do not sell, trade, or transfer your personal data to third parties. Limited data passes through our service providers (Cloudflare, Nginx, Google Analytics) solely for site operation and analysis purposes.
How long we retain your data
Server access logs are retained for 30 days and then automatically deleted. Google Analytics data is retained per their standard retention policy.
Your rights
You may request:
- Access — Ask what data we hold
- Deletion — Request removal of your data from our logs
- Opt out — Use the cookie banner to decline analytics cookies
To exercise these rights, contact us at [email protected].
Children’s privacy
VPNReview does not knowingly collect data from children under 13.
