Opening a page
Images and fonts are served with the website. The public site also loads Cloudflare Web Analytics and Google's AdSense tag for privacy messaging. We have no accounts, newsletter forms or affiliate tracking. Advertising placements and automatic ads are currently disabled while Google reviews our AdSense application.
Advertising and cookie choices
We use Google's certified consent management platform (CMP) through AdSense Privacy & messaging. Where Google makes the message available, visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland can choose Consent, Do not consent or Manage options. Refusing advertising consent does not prevent access to our articles, tracker or countdown tools.
The Google tag connects to Google and may process your IP address, browser and device information, page address and consent status to deliver the message and manage choices. The CMP may store a consent record in cookies or browser storage. This integration is separate from Cloudflare's cookie-free visitor statistics and from the YouTube player.
Use this link or Google's privacy settings link to reopen the available message and change or withdraw your choice. If the message is not available yet, does not apply in your region or is blocked by your browser, this link takes you to this explanation. No Release Lobby ad placements are active at present. You can contact us at info@sirinbytesolutions.nl about privacy choices.
When advertising is introduced, Google and the advertising partners listed in the message may use device identifiers and browsing information for advertising, personalisation and measurement according to your choices and the legal bases shown there. Manage options lists partners, purposes and any legitimate-interest objections. We do not send our email enquiries or the contents of your countdown card to advertising partners.
We rely on consent for advertising storage and personalisation where required. Necessary delivery, security and consent-record processing are separate from optional advertising purposes. Withdrawing consent applies to future processing and does not undo processing already carried out. Google and its partners determine their applicable retention periods; we do not keep a separate copy of your advertising profile or consent record.
Google and its partners may process data outside your country. Their privacy information describes international transfers, safeguards and retention. Our site does not request access to your device's precise location.

Visitor statistics
We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to understand which pages are visited and improve the site's performance. A small script reports page views and loading measurements. Reports include page paths, referring sites, countries, browsers and device types. These are aggregate statistics, not accounts or profiles of individual visitors.
Cloudflare describes this service as using no cookies or local storage for analytics, no fingerprinting and no tracking across websites. Query strings are not logged by Web Analytics. Connection information is still processed to receive requests; hosting and security processing is described separately below. We do not send custom events, email addresses or search text to an analytics service.
We use these limited statistics in our legitimate interest in understanding readership and maintaining a useful, reliable website. You can browse with JavaScript or the analytics script blocked; the main content remains available. Reports follow Cloudflare's service retention limits. We do not keep a separate archive of individual visitor activity.

We also use Google Search Console to review our site's visibility in Google Search. This does not add Google Analytics, an advertising tag or a Google tracking script to this website.
Watching a video
Clicking a trailer or play button opens the YouTube player immediately and requests playback, without a second loading step. We use YouTube’s privacy-enhanced embed at youtube-nocookie.com. No YouTube player is loaded just by opening a page.
Once you click, YouTube receives connection information such as your IP address, browser information and the referring site, and may use cookies or browser storage to provide the video. Privacy-enhanced mode does not mean no data is sent or stored. YouTube may show its own non-personalized ads in the player; these are not advertising placements sold by Release Lobby. Browser or YouTube restrictions may require you to press play inside the player.
Closing the dialog removes the player and stops its playback. It does not undo information already sent to YouTube. You can also open the original video on YouTube; the Extended Look link takes you there directly. External destinations have their own privacy practices.

Search and checklist
News filtering happens in your browser. Search text and filter choices are placed in the page URL so a reload or shared link keeps the selection. URLs can be saved in browser history and, when requested, appear in hosting logs. Do not put personal information in a search. Reset filters clears these values from the current URL.
Checklist ticks are not sent by the site or saved in application storage. Your browser may restore form state when revisiting a page.
Hosting and security
The public website uses Cloudflare Pages for hosting and content delivery. Cloudflare processes connection information, including IP addresses, requested addresses and technical request information, to deliver and protect the site. The application does not maintain a visitor database or a separate visitor-log archive.
Cloudflare may process data through its international network. Its privacy policy explains its purposes, international transfers and retention criteria. Security cookies may be used by Cloudflare depending on the security services enabled; these are separate from the cookie-free analytics and Google privacy messaging described above.

Email enquiries
Our contact mailbox is hosted by STRATO. If you email us, we receive your email address, message, any attachments and the technical information carried with the message. We use this to answer your enquiry, investigate a correction or handle a privacy request. Emailing us does not subscribe you to marketing. Please avoid sending unnecessary personal information.
Purposes and retention
We rely on our legitimate interests in delivering a secure website and responding to enquiries for those activities. We process privacy requests where needed to meet our legal obligations. The optional YouTube player loads when you click a trailer or play button; you can read the site without playing a video.
We keep enquiry messages while they are needed to handle the enquiry and necessary follow-up, then delete them unless a legal obligation or a specific dispute requires longer retention. For retained messages, the reason determines how long they remain necessary. Provider logs and backups follow the applicable service terms and retention arrangements; we do not claim that deleting a message immediately removes every provider backup.
Your choices and rights
You can contact us to request access, correction or deletion of your personal data, or to request restriction or object to processing where applicable. Portability and withdrawal of consent apply where the legal conditions are met. Closing a YouTube player stops the connection from that player but does not erase data already received by Google.
We normally respond to a privacy request within one month. We may ask for proportionate information to verify that the request concerns your data. You can also complain to your local data protection authority or the Dutch Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens ↗.
We do not make decisions with legal or similarly significant effects about you using automated processing. Before activating advertising placements, affiliate tracking or additional measurement services, we will update this information to describe the services in use.
