Site policy

Privacy policy

Plainly stated: what BaristaCritic collects, what it does not collect, and what it will do if that changes. Last reviewed 15 September 2026.

What we collect

Right now: almost nothing

This holding edition has no accounts, no comments, no forms, and no payment processing. It sets no cookies and loads no analytics or tracking scripts until you consent. We do not build profiles, and we do not sell data to anyone.

Like any website, ours receives basic technical information from your browser when it loads pages, such as your IP address, browser type, and the pages requested. This is how the web works at the hosting level, and we do not use it to identify you.

Consent

How analytics consent works

  • Nothing is sent to Google until you click "Accept analytics". Before that, no analytics script loads and no cookie is set.
  • You can choose "Reject" instead; the site then never sends analytics data, and your choice is remembered on this device.
  • Your preference is stored only in your own browser. It is not stored by us and does not require an account.
  • You can change your mind at any time with the "turn off analytics" control, which stops further collection and clears Google's cookies.
  • Google Analytics runs under Google's own terms and data-processing arrangement; we use it for aggregate site measurement only.

What may change

Affiliate links

If and when affiliate links are added, they will be marked next to the link, the programmes will be named, and this page and the disclosure page will state the change on the day it happens, before any link goes live.

Your rights

Questions, requests, and corrections

BaristaCritic is an independent site published by Hollydale27 Ltd, which is the data controller for any data handled by or on behalf of this site. You can reach us at any time through the contact page. If you believe any data about you is held or used incorrectly, tell us and we will review it; if applicable law gives you a right to request deletion or correction, we will honour it to the extent the data exists.

Changes

How this page changes
