The Bannerpick journal

Privacy policy

Effective 10 November 2026. This policy describes the current Bannerpick review edition. It must be updated with the operator’s identity and contact information before the site is made into a public advertising-supported publication.

Current data use

This website offers optional Google Analytics measurement after you allow analytics cookies. It has no active advertising provider, account registration or newsletter collection. Search runs in your browser. Article pages also request a separate first-party shared visit count.

Optional Google Analytics

If you allow analytics, this site loads the Google tag for the Bannerpick Google Analytics 4 property to measure page visits and supported interactions. Google receives technical and usage data and may store analytics cookies. Analytics is not loaded before your choice or when you choose No thanks. Advertising storage, advertising personalisation and Google Signals are disabled in this implementation. Changing your choice to No thanks sends a denied-consent update and removes this host’s standard Analytics cookies; an already loaded Google tag remains in memory until navigation.

Your analytics choice is stored locally for up to 180 days. You can reopen Analytics preferences in the footer. Choosing not to allow optional Analytics does not disable the first-party article counter. Page-location values configured by this site omit query strings and fragments. Google processes data under its own policies; see Google’s Privacy Policy and how Google uses information from partner sites.

Article visit counts

The site stores aggregate article visit totals and a temporary randomly generated event identifier to avoid counting a network retry twice. The application does not store IP addresses, names, advertising identifiers or referrers for this counter. Your tab stores an event identifier for an article visit for up to 30 minutes. Temporary server-side event records are eligible for removal after 24 hours; cleanup runs in bounded batches during later count requests. These are recorded visits, not independently verified unique people. Counts start when this feature is enabled.

Local preferences

If browser storage is available, Bannerpick stores your reading-list article identifiers and decorative-motion preference locally on your device. These values are not sent by our application to an advertising or analytics service. Clearing the site’s browser data removes them.

Fonts and hosting

The page requests fonts from Google Fonts, which receives technical request information such as your IP address. Your hosting provider also processes connection and request information to deliver the website. Their processing and retention are governed by their own terms and policies. We do not claim to control those records.

External references

Articles may link to official platform documentation. Opening an external link takes you to a separate service whose privacy policy applies.

Future advertising

AdSense and Taboola placements are inactive placeholders. Before activation, the operator must document actual providers, cookie and data practices, applicable consent requirements, retention and contact routes. A future consent interface must reflect the integrations that are actually enabled.

Questions and rights requests

A public privacy contact has not been supplied. The contact page explains this limitation. This edition should not be treated as ready for public monetisation until an accessible operator contact is added.
