Privacy Policy

How SiteTrails handles your data.

Last updated: 2026-10-14

Overview

SiteTrails is a free domain lookup tool. This policy explains what data we collect when you visit the site, how it is used, and the choices you have. We aim to collect as little personal data as possible.

What we collect

When you use SiteTrails we may process the following:

• Server logs — standard web-server records such as the request time, the page requested, your browser type (user agent) and a truncated or hashed IP address, used for security, abuse prevention and basic traffic measurement.
• Usage analytics — anonymous, aggregated page-view counts (which pages are visited, country, device type). We do not build advertising profiles from this data.
• No accounts — SiteTrails has no login or registration, so we do not store names, emails or passwords.

Cookies

We use a small number of cookies: a consent cookie that remembers your choice about analytics, and (if you accept) analytics cookies. You can decline analytics cookies in the banner shown on your first visit, and basic measurement will then run without storing identifying cookies.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how the site is used. Google Analytics runs in a privacy-conscious mode (IP anonymisation enabled, and advertising cookies denied by default via Google Consent Mode). Data is processed by Google LLC. See Google's Privacy Policy.

Advertising

We may display advertising provided by Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on prior visits to this and other websites.

• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to this and/or other sites on the internet.
• You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies at aboutads.info.

Third-party services

SiteTrails displays technical information about public domains (DNS, WHOIS, SSL, hosting, performance). To gather it we query public data sources and third-party APIs such as Google PageSpeed Insights. We also load web fonts from Google Fonts.

Your rights

Depending on your location (for example under the EU GDPR), you may have the right to access, correct or erase personal data we hold about you, and to object to or restrict its processing. Because we do not operate user accounts, most visitors are not individually identifiable to us.
