Httpster.net (“Httpster”, “we”, or “the website”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy outlines what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights in relation to that data.
tl;dr — Httpster actively tries not to track you, but we can’t guarantee that the two data processing services we use share our opinion.
Httpster does not engage in user tracking or fingerprinting beyond what is necessary for basic site analytics and newsletter functionality. However, the third-party websites we feature may have their own data collection practices, which are beyond our control.
We use the following third-party services that may process limited user data:
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand general traffic patterns on Httpster, such as which pages are most visited. We do not use GA4 to track individuals or create user profiles. GA4 may set cookies and collect anonymised usage data in accordance with Google’s privacy policy.
Note: Httpster previously used Fathom Analytics, a privacy-focused analytics provider, but discontinued its use due to cost. We hope to bring it back one day.
Httpster uses Kit for email newsletter distribution. If you choose to join the newsletter, your email address is stored securely on Kit’s servers. GDPR-compliant consent and double opt-in are enabled. Kit may collect additional metadata (eg email opens, click-through rates) in accordance with their own privacy practices, which you can review here.
Httpster does not currently use cookies, local storage, or other browser-based storage mechanisms beyond those implemented by GA4 and Kit.
In the future, we may use browser storage to enhance the user experience (eg saving your preferred theme or bookmarked items). Any such use will not include personally identifiable information.
With the exception of email addresses voluntarily submitted via the newsletter sign-up form, Httpster does not collect or store personally identifying information.
We do not sell, share, rent, or trade personal data with third parties under any circumstances.
Httpster features links to external websites and resources that are not operated by us. We are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or data handling of these third-party sites. Visiting external links is at your own discretion and subject to the terms of those respective sites.
Some links on Httpster may be affiliate or sponsored links. This means we may earn a commission if you click on a link or make a purchase through it. Certain affiliate programs may share limited customer information (eg contact details) with referring partners. Httpster does not request or retain this information.
We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected on this page, and the “Last updated” date will be modified accordingly.
