[DRAFT — founders: fill in the legal entity, address and the ad network's name once chosen; have it checked before ads go live.] Last updated: 31 October 2026.

Who we are

Brotator (brotator.com) is operated by [LEGAL ENTITY / NAMES], [ADDRESS]. Contact: hello@brotator.com.

What we collect

• Nothing by default. The site is static; reading pages sends only the standard requests your browser makes to our hosting provider, which keeps short-lived server logs (IP address, user agent, page requested) for security.
• Analytics, only with your consent. If you accept cookies we load Google Analytics 4 with IP anonymisation to count visits and see which pages are useful. Legal basis: consent (GDPR art. 6(1)(a)).
• Advertising, only with your consent. When ads are enabled, our advertising partner [AD NETWORK] and its demand partners may set cookies and process your IP address and device identifiers to show and measure ads. Where you decline, ads are non-personalised or not shown. Legal basis: consent.
• Local preferences. Your cookie choice and interface preferences are stored in your browser's local storage and never sent to us.
• Forum. If you post, we store your text, a random browser key (hashed) so your nickname and votes stick to this browser, and your IP address for abuse prevention (kept with the browser record, used only for blocking). No account, no email. Legal basis: legitimate interest in running and moderating a public forum.
• Email. If you write to us we keep the thread as long as needed to answer and for our records.

Cookies

We do not knowingly collect data from children under 16. To exercise any right, email hello@brotator.com; we answer within 30 days. You can also complain to your local data protection authority.
