Privacy policy

The short version

Right Posters asks you for nothing and keeps no record of you. Measurement cookies are set only if you allow them.

This page explains what happens to data when you read Right Posters. The website is published by Right Posters, which is responsible for the data described here and can be reached at contact@rightposters.com.

What you never give us

There are no accounts, sign-up or contact forms, comments or newsletters on Right Posters. The only box you can type in is the search, which looks through the posters for the words you enter. You are never asked for your name, your email address or anything else about you. If you write to us by email, we use your message and your address only to reply, and to correct a poster if you found a mistake.

What the server receives

Like any website, the server that sends you these pages receives the technical details your browser sends with each request, such as your IP address, the browser you use and the page you asked for. They are used to deliver the page and keep the website running.

Your cookie choice

When you first visit, a notice at the bottom of the page asks whether you allow cookies for measuring advertising. Your answer is kept for one year in a cookie named rightposters_drum, with a copy under the same name in your browser’s local storage that stays until you clear it. Both hold only your choice, so the notice does not ask again on every page.

You can change your choice at any time on the cookie page.

Measuring advertising

Right Posters uses the Google tag to measure how its own advertising performs. The tag starts with all of its storage refused. It sets its own cookies only if you say yes to measuring, and if you later say no, it goes back to running with its storage refused. Google’s own privacy policy describes what Google does with that data.

Advertisements and the advertising service

The advertisements on these pages are delivered by the advertising service the website uses, inside frames that are kept apart from the posters. Each frame is requested with the website, the page, its language and the size of the space. It is not given your cookie choice or the details in the page address, and every reader is shown advertisements from the same set. If you click an advertisement, the link passes through the advertising service on its way to the advertiser’s website; the service sets no cookie and keeps no record of the click.

What a page sends when it opens

When a page opens, it sends the advertising service:

• the website, the page and the language you are reading;
• the details after the ? in the page address, such as a campaign number added to the link of an advertisement;
• the address of the website you came from, if your browser gives it, reduced to the website alone, without the page or its details;
• whether the page is shown in an ordinary browser window or in another display mode, such as full screen or an app-like window;
• whether your device reports a touch screen.

As with any request, your browser also sends your IP address and the name and version of your browser. The advertising service uses these details only to decide whether to take you on to another page, which way to open it, and to build that page’s address. It does not store them, and Right Posters does not either.

Traffic-quality check and onward pages

On some pages, a script from a traffic-quality service that the advertising service works with runs in the page or in one of its advertising frames. It reads technical details of your browser and connection to check whether the visit looks like one from a person rather than an automated program. When the page address carries an advertising campaign number and that check passes, the page may then take you on to another website.

If you opened the page in the browser built into the YouTube app on an Android phone, the advertising service may open that other website through a YouTube link instead, so that it can open in the app. To prepare the link, the service asks YouTube for it and passes on the other website’s address and the name and version of your browser, never your cookies. Every other browser goes straight to the other website.

None of this depends on your cookie choice, and none of it asks you for anything.

Changes to this page

If the website starts to do something new with data, this page will say so before it happens, and its date will change.
