This Privacy Policy explains how CompanionVerdict (« we », « us », « our ») collects, uses, and protects information when you visit companionverdict.com (the « Site »). We keep this policy as clear and honest as possible.
Who we are

Information we collect
Information you give us. If you contact us or subscribe to our newsletter, we collect the information you choose to provide, such as your email address.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we automatically collect certain technical information when you visit, which may include your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, and the site you came from. This is collected through cookies and similar technologies.
Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use them to make the Site work properly, to understand how visitors use the Site, and to measure the performance of our content and links.
You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Where required by law, we ask for your consent before setting non-essential cookies, and you can manage your preferences at any time through our cookie banner.
How we use information
- To operate, maintain, and improve the Site.
- To understand how our content performs and how visitors navigate the Site.
- To respond to your messages and requests.
- To send you our newsletter, if you have subscribed (you can unsubscribe at any time).
- To measure affiliate referrals, so that we are correctly credited when you sign up to a partner service through our links.
Analytics and third parties
We may use third-party analytics services (such as web analytics tools) to help us understand Site usage. These providers may set their own cookies and process data according to their own privacy policies.
When you click an affiliate link, the destination website and its affiliate network may collect information about that visit in order to track referrals. Their handling of your data is governed by their own privacy policies, not ours.
