Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 11, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Unofficial Reviews (“we,” “us,” or “this site”) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit https://unofficialreviews.com.
We aim to collect as little personal information as necessary to operate the website, respond to visitors, and maintain security. We do not sell or rent your personal information.
1. Information We Collect
Comments
When you leave a comment on a review or article, we collect:
- The name and email address you provide.
- Your comment and any optional website address.
- Your IP address and browser information, which help with spam detection and website security.
Comments may be held for moderation before being published.
Once approved, your name, comment, and any website link you provided may be publicly visible. Your email address and IP address are not displayed publicly.
Visitors do not need to create an account to leave comments.
Contact Forms
When you contact us through our Contact page, we collect your name, email address, and message.
We use WPForms Lite to process contact form submissions. Messages are delivered using Brevo and received in our Proton Mail inbox.
We use this information to read and respond to your inquiry. We do not automatically add you to marketing mailing lists.
WPForms Lite Connect’s optional remote entry-backup service is not enabled.
Website Statistics
We use Burst Statistics to understand how visitors use the website, including:
- Page views and popular articles.
- General visitor activity and browsing sessions.
- Referral sources showing how visitors find our website.
Burst Statistics is configured to operate without cookies and collects anonymized usage information.
We do not use Google Analytics or advertising trackers for our own website analytics.
Website Security
Our hosting provider and security tools may process technical information such as IP addresses, browser details, and website requests.
This information helps us identify suspicious activity, prevent automated attacks, filter spam, and maintain the security of the website.
2. Cookies and Browser Storage
Cookies are small files that websites may store in your browser.
Unofficial Reviews may use the following types of cookies or browser storage:
Comment cookies: If you choose to save your name, email address, and website when leaving a comment, WordPress stores these details in your browser for approximately one year. This prevents you from having to enter them again.
Administrator cookies: WordPress uses authentication and session cookies for website administration. Ordinary visitors do not need to log in.
Security and functional cookies: Wordfence and other website components may use cookies to support security, authentication, and essential website functions.
Age confirmation: When age confirmation is enabled, the website may remember your selection using cookies or browser storage so that you do not need to confirm your age repeatedly.
We do not use advertising cookies or behavioral advertising trackers ourselves. Embedded third-party content may use cookies according to the policies of its provider.
3. Third-Party Services

4. Embedded Content From Other Websites
Our reviews and articles may include embedded content from third-party websites, such as videos, images, or game store pages.
Embedded content behaves similarly to visiting the third-party website directly.
These providers may collect information about you, use cookies, or monitor interactions with their embedded content according to their own privacy policies.
We do not control the privacy practices of third-party websites.
5. How Long We Keep Information
We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to operate the website and fulfill the purposes described in this policy.

Website statistics: Anonymized usage statistics are retained according to our analytics settings.
Security information: Security logs and related technical information are retained according to our security and hosting configurations.
