Privacy Policy

Last updated 2026-11-10 (10 November 2026).

World TLD Monitor, operated by Alykhan Virani / SimbaSystems.com, does not ask you to sign in, does not sell personal data, and does not build a profile of you itself.

With your consent, the site uses Google Analytics to count visits and, when enabled, Google AdSense to show and measure advertising. Both start denied by default under Google Consent Mode v2, you can refuse non-essential cookies with one click, and you can change your mind at any time.

The site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. Like any web host, Cloudflare processes technical information such as your IP address and browser type to deliver pages and protect the site from abuse. That processing is covered by Cloudflare's privacy policy.

TLD directory search runs locally in your browser from static files hosted on this site. Live DNS, DNSSEC, DKIM, CAA, and RDAP lookup utilities query public third-party endpoints directly from your browser, including Cloudflare DNS (`cloudflare-dns.com`), Google Public DNS (`dns.google`), and authoritative registry RDAP servers (`rdap.org`). Queried domain names are not sent to a private database operated by World TLD Monitor.

The site sets no cookies of its own. Your consent choice is kept in your browser's local storage, not in a cookie. Google Consent Mode v2 is set to denied by default for `ad_storage`, `ad_user_data`, `ad_personalization`, and `analytics_storage`. Before you grant consent, no analytics or advertising cookies are stored on your device.

The list changes if Google changes its cookies; see Google's policies for current details.

Google Analytics 4: If you accept analytics, Google Analytics 4 records page views and basic interaction events (which page or tool was used, browser, device category, approximate location from IP address, and referrer). We never send names, emails, or personal account identifiers. Google acts as our processor for this data.

Google AdSense: When Google AdSense is active on the site, Google displays advertisements in designated "Advertisement" containers and may use cookies or local storage under Google Partner Sites terms. Ads never appear on error (404), privacy, terms, contact, or embed widget pages. You can opt out of personalised advertising at adssettings.google.com or via industry opt-out tools such as aboutads.info.

A dialog asks for your choice on your first visit: Accept required, or Accept all. Both buttons look the same, and Accept required gives you the whole site. We remember your choice for 180 days, then ask again. If your browser sends the Global Privacy Control signal and you have not chosen, we treat it as a refusal and do not show the dialog. To review or withdraw consent at any time, use the Cookie choices button in the page footer or clear this site's local storage in your browser. Withdrawing consent stops new collection; it does not undo processing already done.

Under the GDPR and UK GDPR you can ask for access to, correction of, deletion of, restriction of, or a copy of personal data about you, object to processing, and withdraw consent at any time. Data held by Google for analytics and advertising is not linked by us to your name, so most requests about it are handled through your Google account controls. You can complain to your data protection authority. Residents of US states with applicable privacy legislation (such as California, Virginia, Colorado) have rights to know, delete, and opt out of sale or sharing; we do not sell personal data, and refusing non-essential cookies or sending Global Privacy Control opts you out.
