Privacy Policy

We use PostHog, a privacy-focused analytics service, to understand how visitors use our site. This helps us improve the user experience.

We do not use cookies for analytics tracking. Our analytics tool is configured in cookieless mode, meaning no tracking cookies are stored on your device.

The anonymous analytics data we collect includes:

• Pages visited and time spent on the site
• Device type, browser, and operating system (general information only)
• Approximate geographic location (country level only)
• Referring website (how you arrived at our site)

We do not collect:

• Personal identifying information (PII)
• Email addresses (unless you provide them voluntarily)
• IP addresses (these are anonymized)
• Any data that could identify you personally

Analytics data is processed by PostHog, a third-party service, on our behalf. All analytics data is processed within the European Union.

This site displays advertisements through third-party ad networks. We use Google AdSense, Ezoic, and the Amazon Associates Programme to serve ads and earn revenue that supports the continued publication of Polititoons.

These advertising services may set cookies on your device for the following purposes:

• Ad serving: To deliver advertisements to you when you visit the site.
• Ad personalisation: To show you ads based on your browsing interests (only with your consent).
• Frequency capping: To limit how often you see the same advertisement.
• Performance measurement: To measure ad impressions and clicks for reporting purposes.

No advertising cookies are set without your explicit consent. When you first visit our site, you will see a consent banner asking whether you wish to allow advertising cookies. If you decline, you will still see non-personalised advertisements and no advertising cookies will be stored on your device.

We work with the following third-party advertising partners. Each partner has its own privacy policy governing how they collect and use data:

• Google AdSense: Serves display ads on our site. Google may collect device identifiers, IP addresses, and browsing data to serve and measure ads. See Google's Privacy Policy.
• Ezoic: Provides ad optimisation and serving. Ezoic may collect similar data to improve ad placement and revenue. See Ezoic's Privacy Policy.
• Amazon Associates: We participate in the Amazon Associates Programme, an affiliate advertising programme designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by linking to Amazon. Amazon may set cookies when you click an affiliate link. See Amazon's Privacy Notice.

We do not have access to or control over the cookies set by these third-party services. We encourage you to review their respective privacy policies for full details on their data practices.

You have full control over which cookies are set on your device:

• Consent banner: When you first visit our site, a consent banner will ask you to accept or decline optional cookies. You can accept all, decline all non-essential cookies, or customise your preferences by category (analytics and advertising).
• Cookie Settings link: You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clicking the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer of every page. This reopens the preferences panel where you can update your choices.
• Browser settings: You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. Note that blocking all cookies may affect site functionality.
• Opting out of personalised ads: Even if you consent to advertising cookies, you can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google's Ad Settings or Your Online Choices. You will still see advertisements, but they will not be tailored to your interests.

Under the GDPR, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• Right of Access: You can request a copy of any personal data we hold about you.
• Right to Rectification: You can request correction of any inaccurate personal data.
• Right to Erasure: You can request deletion of your personal data (“right to be forgotten”).
• Right to Restriction: You can request that we limit how we use your data.
• Right to Data Portability: You can request your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
• Right to Object: You can object to certain types of data processing.

Since we do not collect personal identifying information through our analytics, these rights primarily apply if you have provided us with personal data through other means (such as contacting us via email).

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at privacy@polititoons.com.

Anonymous analytics data is retained for up to 12 months to help us understand long-term usage trends. This data cannot be used to identify individual users.

If you contact us directly (for example, via email), we will retain your correspondence for as long as necessary to respond to your inquiry and for our legitimate business purposes.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, regulatory, or operational reasons.

When we make changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about our privacy practices.

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or wish to exercise your rights, please contact us:

We will respond to your request within 30 days, as required by GDPR.
