Privacy policy

Last updated: 10 May 2026

This site is operated for UK readers and complies with UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.

What this site is

Recharge Vodafone (this website at rechargevodafone.co.uk) publishes fact-checked guides on UK consumer prices, telecom how-to instructions, advert cast and music identification, and welfare information. We do not sell products or process payments on this site.

Data we collect

We deliberately collect as little personal data as possible. Specifically:

  • Anonymous usage analytics via Cloudflare Web Analytics. This is cookieless, does not track individuals across sites, and aggregates page views and Core Web Vitals only. No data is sold or shared with advertisers.
  • Comments you submit: when you leave a comment, we store the name you typed, the comment text, and a timestamp. We do not require an email to comment.
  • Feedback votes: if you click "Yes / Not really" at the end of an article, we store your vote (and any optional comment you write) along with the article slug and a timestamp. We do not link this to your identity.
  • CAPTCHA verification via Cloudflare Turnstile when you submit a comment. Turnstile checks for bots without using cookies or fingerprinting.
  • Server logs (Cloudflare): IP address, user agent, request path. Retained for a maximum of 30 days for security and abuse prevention. Not used for analytics.

Cookies

This site does not set any cookies for analytics, advertising or tracking. The only browser storage we may use is localStorage for: (a) remembering that you've voted on an article so the form doesn't keep showing, and (b) saving your unsent comment draft if your browser closes mid-typing. This data stays on your device — we cannot read it remotely.

For full details see our cookie policy.

Where data is stored

  • The static site itself is served from Cloudflare's global edge network.
  • Comments and feedback (when enabled) are stored in Cloudflare Workers KV, in EU and UK regions.
  • We do not transfer personal data outside the UK/EU other than what Cloudflare's network requires for content delivery.

Third-party services we use

  • Cloudflare Pages + Workers + Web Analytics + Turnstile — hosting, edge functions, anonymous analytics, anti-bot. Cloudflare's privacy policy.
  • YouTube — when you click "play" on an embedded video, your browser connects to YouTube via the privacy-enhanced youtube-nocookie.com domain. We don't load any YouTube tracking until you click play.
  • Pagefind — search index served from this same site, no external service.

What we don't do

  • No advertising networks, ad pixels, or retargeting.
  • No cross-site tracking.
  • No selling or sharing of your data with third parties.
  • No personalised email lists. We don't send marketing emails from this site.
  • No fingerprinting or device identification.

Affiliate links

Some pages contain affiliate links to Amazon UK and other retailers. When you click these and make a purchase, the retailer may pay us a small commission at no extra cost to you. The retailer (not us) sets cookies on their domain at that point. Read our full affiliate disclosure.

Your UK GDPR rights

You have the right to:

  • Access any personal data we hold about you (almost certainly: nothing, unless you've commented).
  • Ask us to correct or delete your comment, feedback vote, or any data linked to you.
  • Withdraw consent for data processing.
  • Lodge a complaint with the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).

We update this policy when our practices change or when the law requires it. Material changes will be flagged at the top of the page. The "last updated" date above always reflects the most recent revision.
