Optional analytics are your choice. You can enjoy every part of this website without agreeing to them.

When you visit

Hostinger hosts and protects the website. Delivering a page involves processing technical information such as your IP address, the page requested, browser information and the time of the request. Hostinger may use essential security checks and related browser storage to keep the site available and protect it from abuse. This processing supports our legitimate interest in operating a secure, reliable website.

Our fonts and illustrations are served from this website. We do not currently embed YouTube or Instagram players, operate visitor accounts, or run a newsletter sign-up form here.

Optional Google Analytics

If you choose Allow analytics, we use Google Analytics 4 to understand visits, traffic sources and how people use the site. It can collect a browser identifier, pages viewed, approximate location, device and browser details, session information and selected interactions, such as exploring AI topics or copying a conversation question. It is not a recording of your screen.

We use this information to improve the website and understand which subjects interest our audience. We rely on your consent for this optional measurement. The Google tag does not load before you agree, or if you select No thanks.

We do not send your name or email address to Analytics. Our code removes query strings and fragments from page addresses and referring addresses before sending them. Google Signals and advertising personalisation are disabled; we do not use this setup for remarketing.

Google processes the analytics information for us. Read how Google uses information from sites that use its services. Processing may take place outside the UK. See Google’s privacy policy and Google’s data processing terms for details of its processing and transfer safeguards.

What your browser remembers

Analytics event and user-level data is set to a two-month retention period. Aggregated reports can be retained longer. We do not attempt to identify individual people from those reports.

Change your mind at any time

Use Analytics choices at the bottom of any page, then select No thanks. This stops optional tracking in that browser and removes the Analytics cookies our site can access. A page refresh completes the change if Analytics was already running. Withdrawing consent does not undo processing that already took place.

Your choice applies to this browser. If you use a different device or clear your browser storage, we may ask again. You can also control cookies and local storage in your browser settings.

If you contact us

We use your email address and the information you send to answer your enquiry and handle any follow-up. We keep correspondence only as long as needed for that purpose or to meet a legal requirement. Please avoid sending sensitive personal information that we do not need.

Your rights

Depending on the circumstances, you can ask for access to your personal information, correction, deletion, restriction of processing or a portable copy, and object to processing based on legitimate interests. You can withdraw consent for analytics at any time. Contact hello@artificialbanter.com to make a request; we may need information to verify your identity and locate the relevant data.

You can also raise a concern with the UK Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint.

We will update this page if the website’s use of personal information changes.
