Privacy Policy

Effective and last updated: August 22, 2026. This policy explains how Active Codes, available at activecodes.co.uk, handles information when you visit the site or contact us.

Information we may collect

Our hosting and security systems may process technical information such as IP address, browser and device type, referring page, requested pages, timestamps, approximate location derived from IP, and security or error logs. If you contact us, we receive the information you choose to send, such as your email address, name, message and attachments.

Cookies and similar technologies

Essential cookies may support security, page delivery, preferences and WordPress administration. Performance or analytics tools, if enabled, may measure aggregate use. If affiliate links are introduced, Partnerize (formerly Pepperjam), participating merchants and their providers may use cookies or comparable identifiers to attribute a voluntary click or qualifying action. See our Cookie Policy for categories and controls.

How we use information

We use information to operate and secure the site, deliver requested pages, respond to messages, diagnose errors, prevent abuse, understand site performance, comply with law and maintain accurate affiliate records where applicable. We do not use contact messages to enroll people in a newsletter.

How information may be shared

Information may be processed by hosting, security, analytics, email and technical service providers acting for us. When a reader voluntarily follows an approved affiliate link, limited click and transaction-attribution information may be shared among Active Codes, Partnerize, the relevant merchant and their service providers under their own notices. We may disclose information where reasonably necessary to comply with law, protect rights or address fraud and security.

Sale, sharing and targeted advertising

At launch, Active Codes does not sell personal information and does not operate cross-context behavioral advertising. If our practices change, we will update this policy and provide legally required choices. U.S. residents with applicable state rights may submit a request through Your Privacy Choices. UK readers may contact us about applicable privacy rights using the contact details below.

Retention and security

We retain information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose collected, legal obligations, dispute resolution and security. No internet system is perfectly secure, but we use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards appropriate to the site.

Children

Active Codes is a general-audience publication and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. A parent or guardian who believes a child has provided information may contact us for review.

Your choices and privacy rights

You can restrict or delete browser cookies through browser settings, although essential features may be affected. Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, portability or information about certain disclosures, and to appeal a denied request. We may need to verify a request and may retain information where an exception applies. We will not unlawfully discriminate for exercising a privacy right.

External services

External sites, merchants and Partnerize have their own privacy practices. Their policies apply after you leave Active Codes or interact with their services.
