Privacy Policy

Last updated: 29 July 2026

Who we are

UK Decoded ("we", "us") operates this website at ukdecoded.com. This policy explains what information we collect and how we use it.

Information we collect

  • Browsing: reading entries and using the search or converter does not require an account. Standard web-server logs record IP addresses and requested pages for security and troubleshooting.
  • Contact form: if you contact us we store the name, email address and message you provide (plus your IP address) so we can reply. We do not use these details for marketing.
  • Converter tools: conversions run entirely in your browser — the numbers you enter are not sent to our servers or stored.

Advertising and consent

We may display advertising, including Google AdSense, and occasionally affiliate links. Google and other third-party vendors use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites. Advertising cookies are only used after you consent: when advertising is active, a consent banner asks for your choice before any ad code runs, and you can change your mind at any time using the "Cookie preferences" link in the footer. You can also opt out of personalised advertising at Google Ads Settings. Where a page contains an affiliate link, we may earn a commission at no cost to you; this never changes the content of an entry.

Cookies

We use essential cookies for site functions that cannot work without them: your session (form security and the admin area), your language choice, and the record of your consent choice itself. Advertising cookies are only set with your consent, as described above.

How long we keep data

Contact messages are kept for as long as needed to handle your enquiry, then periodically deleted. Server logs are rotated automatically.

Your rights

Under UK data-protection law (UK GDPR) you can ask us what personal data we hold about you, ask for it to be corrected or deleted, and object to processing. To exercise any right, use the contact page.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time; the date at the top shows the latest revision. Significant changes will be highlighted on this page.
