PRIVACY
Your information.
Updated 16 Oct 2026
Using the finder and calculators
You do not need an account. Filter choices, comparisons and electricity calculations run in your browser. Our application does not send those inputs to a database or save them between visits.
We do not use Google Analytics, a newsletter or a contact form. Optional advertising is described below, separately from our site statistics.
Advertising is disabled
We briefly enabled an Adsterra banner trial on 16 October 2026 and removed it after a report of unsolicited redirects. No advertising code now loads, even if you previously accepted advertising. We will not restore this provider tag.
If you accepted during the trial, your browser may have connected to Adsterra and its advertising partners, sharing technical information such as your IP address, browser/device details, page address and advertising interactions. They may have stored cookies or similar identifiers. Their handling of information already received is described in the Adsterra privacy policy and cookie policy. Removing our script does not delete third-party cookies or undo previous processing; you can remove stored site data in your browser settings.
The first-party ssf_advertising cookie records only the earlier choice and expires after 180 days. It no longer enables ads. You can save a rejection below; accepting is disabled.
Hosting and traffic statistics
Our hosting providers process technical request information to deliver and protect this website. They also provide visitor and page-view counts to the site operator.
This hosting activity is separate from the calculator inputs, which stay in your browser. Technical logs are managed by our hosting providers; we do not control their retention periods. You can contact us below for questions about the service providers involved.
Our site statistics
We measure public page requests, visible page loads reported by browsers, retailer button interactions and retailer-link requests separately. This helps us improve buying information and recognise automated scans. Daily totals are grouped by page, offer and broad referral category. These figures do not identify unique people or show whether anyone bought something.
For troubleshooting, we also keep event timestamps and broad browser/device categories for seven days. We do not store IP addresses, full browser headers, full referring URLs or persistent visitor identifiers. A random, signed page token held only in memory expires after 30 minutes and prevents duplicate counts; it is not used to recognise you on another page or visit. Event keys are removed with the short-lived diagnostics.
Our purpose is to operate and improve a useful website and protect the accuracy of its statistics. Where diagnostic information is personal data, we rely on our legitimate interests in this limited measurement and troubleshooting. We minimise the data, restrict reports to the site owner and do not use it for advertising, profiling or sharing with advertisers. You can object using the control below or contact us.
Our hosted database keeps daily aggregates for 400 days and diagnostics for seven days. Expired records are removed when the dashboard or daily maintenance report runs. Known automation and prefetch requests are separated from browser interactions. Signed-in visits, monitoring checks, browser Do Not Track / Global Privacy Control requests and opted-out visits are not recorded in our counters or diagnostic events. Unrecognised automation can still affect results.
You can turn off our measurement for this browser below. We save only that choice in a first-party preference cookie, ssf_statistics, for one year. No analytics identifiers are saved in cookies or browser storage. This choice does not change the hosting provider's separate security logs or built-in traffic statistics.
Our counters are on for this browser.
If you email us
Small Server Finder uses your email address and the message you send to answer the enquiry, investigate a correction and maintain the site. This is our legitimate interest in operating a useful, accurate service. Sending a message is optional.
Contact mail passes through Porkbun’s email-forwarding service and Proton Mail. Messages are not used to create a mailing list, sold to advertisers or published with your identity. We keep correspondence while it is needed to resolve the enquiry and retain any necessary record of a correction or dispute; we remove personal details when they are no longer needed for that purpose.
Retailer and source links
Following a link takes you to another organisation’s website. Its privacy and cookie policies apply there. We currently use ordinary source links without affiliate identifiers.
Your choices and rights
You can contact the site operator at hello@smallserverfinder.co.uk to ask about personal information we hold, request a correction or deletion, or ask us to restrict its use. These rights depend on the circumstances.
You can object to our use of your information for our legitimate interests. Include enough detail for us to identify the message or record concerned.
You can also raise a concern with the UK Information Commissioner’s Office. We will update this notice if the site’s data use changes.
