Privacy policy

How URKL.org uses analytics, advertising, embedded video, and hosting services—and the choices available to visitors.

Independent fan guide

The short version

What this policy covers

URKL.org is an independent informational fan website. It does not offer user accounts, sell products, or ask visitors to submit names, payment details, or public posts.

The site uses service providers to deliver and protect its pages, measure aggregate readership, play embedded videos, and support the site with advertising. Those services may process information as described below.

Ordinary web requests

Information handled when you visit

Loading any website naturally sends technical information to the systems delivering it. This can include your IP address, browser and device type, requested page, time of the request, referring page, and security signals.

URKL.org uses this information to provide the site, prevent abuse, diagnose problems, and understand broad readership patterns. We do not use it to create named visitor profiles.

If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever information you include. We use it to respond and handle the request.

Aggregate measurement

Plausible Analytics

URKL.org uses Plausible Analytics to understand which pages people read and how they find the site. Plausible is designed without cookies or persistent identifiers and does not track visitors across websites, devices, or days.

Aggregate reports may include visited pages, referral source, browser, operating system, device type, country, and visit duration. We use these reports to improve the site and decide what information is useful.

Site funding

Google AdSense

URKL.org uses Google AdSense to support the site with advertising. Ads may not appear until Google finishes its review of the site.

Google and other advertising vendors may use cookies, web beacons, IP addresses, or other identifiers to deliver and measure ads, prevent fraud, limit how often ads appear, and, where permitted, personalize advertising. Personalized ads may be based on visits to this site or other websites.

Data handling depends on your region, consent choice, browser settings, and Google settings. Learn how Google uses information from partner sites, read the Google Privacy Policy , or manage personalized ads in My Ad Center .

Third-party media

YouTube videos and external links

The site embeds public YouTube videos using YouTube’s privacy-enhanced domain, youtube-nocookie.com. When an embed loads or you play a video, Google or YouTube may receive technical information such as your IP address, browser, device, the page containing the video, and your interaction with the player. Cookies or local storage may be used according to your settings and interaction.

URKL.org also links to outside websites including EngineAI, YouTube, X, news organizations, and government sources. Their privacy practices apply after you visit them; URKL.org does not control those services.

Service providers

Sharing, transfers, and retention

Cloudflare hosts and protects URKL.org. Plausible provides aggregate analytics. Google provides advertising, consent messaging, and embedded YouTube video. These providers may process data in countries other than your own and retain it under their respective policies.

URKL.org does not maintain user accounts or a named visitor database. Aggregate analytics, security information, advertising data, and hosting logs are retained according to the settings and policies of the relevant provider. Email correspondence may be kept for as long as reasonably needed to answer a request, keep records, or resolve a dispute.

We may disclose information if required by law or necessary to protect the site, its visitors, or others. URKL.org does not directly sell visitor contact information.

See the Cloudflare Privacy Policy .

Control and access

Your privacy choices

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, or objection for personal information, and to withdraw consent. Some requests are best handled directly by the provider that holds the information—for example, Google advertising choices through My Ad Center.

For information handled directly by URKL.org, email [email protected]. We may need enough information to understand and verify your request.

General audience

Children’s privacy

URKL.org is a general-audience informational website. It does not knowingly ask children to provide personal information. If you believe a child sent personal information directly to the site, contact us so the request can be reviewed and the information deleted where appropriate.

Questions and changes

Contact and policy updates

Privacy questions can be sent to [email protected].

This policy may change when the site, its providers, or legal requirements change. Material updates will be reflected on this page with a new effective or updated date.
