Privacy Policy

Last updated: 3 September 2026

AffiRank collects as little personal data as possible. This page explains what we store, why, and how cookies are used.

1. Data we collect

Browsing the site requires no account. We do not collect names, emails or phone numbers unless you send them to us through the contact form or by email.

When Telegram login launches, we will receive only your Telegram ID, display name, username and profile photo, and only after you approve the login in Telegram.

2. Votes

Guest votes are stored against a random identifier kept in a cookie and hashed on our servers. It cannot be used to identify you. It exists only to stop the same browser voting twice.

3. Cookies

ar_geo: a suggested country based on your connection, so we can show a 'Showing programs for X' banner. We never redirect you based on location.

ar_country: the country you chose in the switcher.

ar_geo_dismissed: remembers that you closed the country banner (7 days).

ar_vk: a random vote identifier (2 years).

We do not use advertising cookies or third-party trackers. If we add privacy-friendly analytics later, this page will be updated first.

4. Local storage

Your browser may keep a copy of your votes in localStorage so the vote buttons show your choice instantly. This never leaves your device.

5. Outbound links

Links to affiliate programs take you to third-party sites with their own privacy policies. Referral parameters in those links identify AffiRank as the referrer, not you.

6. Your rights

You can clear cookies and local storage in your browser at any time. To ask what we hold about you or request deletion, contact us via the Contact page.

7. Changes

Updates will be posted here with a new date.
