1. Introduction
BestSubreddits.com (“we,” “our,” “us”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to recognise you, keep the service secure and reliable, measure traffic, and personalise your experience. This policy explains what those technologies are, why we use them, and how you can control them, in line with the EU ePrivacy Directive, GDPR, and Californian CPRA/CCPA.
2. What are cookies?
Cookies are tiny text files placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit most websites. They store bits of information so the site can remember your actions or preferences (such as your language choice) for a period of time.
-
First‑party cookies are set by BestSubreddits.com itself.
-
Third‑party cookies are set by external services whose features we embed or rely on (for example, analytics providers).
3. Why do we use cookies?
-
Strictly necessary cookies keep the site running—things like page‑load balancing, security checks, and remembering your consent choices. Without them, the site would not function properly.
-
Preference / functionality cookies remember settings you pick (e.g., dark mode) and improve usability.
-
Analytics and performance cookies help us understand which subreddit lists are popular, how visitors move around the site, and where we can improve. We currently use Google Analytics 4 for this purpose.
-
Advertising or affiliate cookies record when you click an outbound link to a partner (for example, Reddit Premium or a recommended tool) so that, if you make a purchase, we may receive a small referral fee.
Where local law allows, strictly‑necessary cookies are processed on the basis of our legitimate interests. All other cookies are set only after you give us explicit consent.
4. How we obtain and store your consent
On your first visit, a banner appears explaining that we use cookies for analytics, personalisation, and affiliate tracking. The banner offers three clear buttons:
-
Accept all – grants consent for every non‑essential cookie.
-
Reject non‑essential – blocks everything except the strictly necessary ones.
-
Customise – lets you toggle each category on or off.
Your choice is stored by our consent‑management platform (CookieYes) and remains in effect for 12 months, unless you withdraw it sooner. A “Privacy settings” link in the site footer lets you reopen the banner at any time and change or withdraw consent.
5. Managing cookies through your browser
Every major browser lets you delete or block cookies, or receive a warning before a cookie is stored. The exact steps vary, so check the Help section of your browser or visit AllAboutCookies.org for detailed guidance. Note that blocking certain cookies may degrade site functionality.
6. Third‑party services that set cookies on our site
-
Google LLC – Google Analytics 4 (site usage statistics)
-
Cloudflare Inc. – Content Delivery Network and security protection
-

These providers may process data outside the European Economic Area under safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses. Please review each provider’s own privacy policy for details.
7. Updates to this policy
We review our cookie usage regularly and may change this policy to reflect new cookies, legal requirements, or best practices. When we update it, the “Last Reviewed” date at the top will change, and for any material differences we will display a notice or trigger the consent banner again.
