Privacy Policy

Last updated: 28 Aug 2026

800wsolar ("we", "us", "our") publishes an independent ledger of UK 800W plug-in and balcony solar kit. This policy explains what data we collect when you visit 800wsolar.co.uk, why, and what choices you have.

What we collect

We keep data collection to the minimum needed to run the site and understand what's useful to readers.

  • Analytics. We use privacy-respecting analytics (Cloudflare Web Analytics and/or Netlify Analytics) to see aggregate traffic — pages viewed, referrers, rough location by country, device type. These services do not use cookies and do not build a cross-site profile of you.
  • Server logs. Our hosting provider (Netlify) and DNS/CDN provider (Cloudflare) automatically log standard request data — IP address, user agent, timestamp — for security and abuse prevention. We do not access these logs to identify individuals.
  • Email address. If you sign up for legalisation-day alerts, we store your email address solely to send you register-status updates. We do not sell or share this list.
  • Affiliate click data. When you click a product link to Amazon or eBay, the retailer's affiliate programme (Amazon Associates, eBay Partner Network) may set its own cookie to attribute the referral. See "Affiliate links" below.

Cookies

800wsolar itself does not set tracking or advertising cookies. Outbound affiliate links to Amazon.co.uk or eBay.co.uk are tracked by those retailers' own affiliate cookies once you leave our site — this is governed by Amazon's and eBay's own privacy policies, not ours. If a future feature (such as saved comparisons) requires a strictly necessary cookie, we will update this policy first.

Affiliate links

We are a member of the Amazon Associates Programme and the eBay Partner Network. Product links may be affiliate links, meaning we may earn a commission on qualifying purchases at no extra cost to you. See our Affiliate Disclosure for full detail — this never changes what we list as ENA G98 certified or legal today.

Legal basis for processing

Where we process personal data (such as an email address for alerts), we rely on your consent, given when you submit the form. You can withdraw consent at any time by emailing us to unsubscribe.

Data retention

Email addresses collected for alerts are retained until you unsubscribe or until the alert service is discontinued. Aggregate analytics data does not identify individuals and is retained per our analytics provider's standard policy.

Your rights (UK GDPR)

If you are in the UK or EEA, you have the right to access, correct, delete, or port any personal data we hold about you, and to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise these rights, contact us using the details below.

Third-party services

Children's privacy

800wsolar is not directed at children and we do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 16.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the site evolves. The "last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
