Privacy Policy

BestVPNs collects as little about you as it can. We count visits with Google Analytics only if you agree, we use cookie-free statistics from Cloudflare, and we read the emails you send us so we can reply. We do not show ads, and we do not sell or hand your personal data to VPN providers.

Who runs BestVPNs?

BestVPNs is run by one person in the United Kingdom, who is responsible for the personal data described on this page (the “controller” under UK data protection law). For any question about your data, email contact@bestvpns.pro.

What data do we collect?

How do we use Google Analytics?

Google Analytics 4 is loaded only after you agree to it. Until you click “Accept”, no Google Analytics code is loaded and no Google Analytics cookie is set; if you click “Reject” or simply ignore the banner, it stays that way.

• Cookies: Google Analytics sets the cookies _ga and _ga_<container-id>, which tell repeat visits apart.
• Retention: Google Analytics keeps the data for 14 months.
• Google’s role: Google acts as our processor: it handles the data on our behalf.
• No ads: we use Google Analytics only to count visits. Its data is not used for advertising or to personalize anything, and the advertising settings of Google’s Consent Mode stay switched off.

You can change your mind at any time with the “Cookie settings” link at the bottom of every page. If you withdraw your consent, Google Analytics is switched off and its _ga cookies are deleted from your browser.

What does Cloudflare see?

BestVPNs is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. Like any host, Cloudflare handles the data that comes with each request, such as your IP address and browser type, to deliver the page and to protect the site against attacks and abuse.

We also use Cloudflare Web Analytics to count visits. According to Cloudflare, it does not use cookies or store personal data.

Where is your data processed?

Google and Cloudflare may process data outside the UK, including in the United States. When they do, they rely on the safeguards set out in their own data processing terms.

On what basis do we use your data?

• Google Analytics: your consent. You can withdraw it at any time with “Cookie settings” at the bottom of every page.
• Request data handled by Cloudflare, and our replies to your emails: our legitimate interests in running and protecting the site and in answering your questions.

What happens to the emails you send us?

Email sent to contact@bestvpns.pro is forwarded by Cloudflare Email Routing to the editor’s mailbox. We use your email address and your message only to reply to you. We do not add you to a mailing list.

What happens when you click an affiliate link?

Our links to VPN providers go through addresses that start with /go/. When you click one, you leave BestVPNs for the provider’s website. That provider, or the affiliate network that tracks the sale, may set its own cookies, and its own privacy policy applies. We do not pass your personal data to VPN providers. How we earn money from these links is explained in our affiliate disclosure.

What does BestVPNs store in your browser?

Only your cookie choice. When you click “Accept” or “Reject”, we save that answer in your browser’s local storage, so the banner does not appear on every page. This storage is strictly necessary to remember your choice. We ask again after 12 months.

What are your rights?

Under the UK GDPR you have the right to:

• access the personal data we hold about you;
• correct data that is wrong;
• delete your data;
• object to how we use your data;
• withdraw your consent at any time, with “Cookie settings” at the bottom of every page.

To use any of these rights, email contact@bestvpns.pro. If you are unhappy with how we handle your data, you have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK’s data protection regulator, at ico.org.uk.

Will this policy change?

If what we collect changes, we update this page and the “last updated” date at the top.
