1. Who We Are
EuroPriceDrop operates europricedrop.com, a deal publishing website that provides verified promo codes and discount guides for European shoppers across the UK, Germany, Spain, France, and other markets. References to "we," "us," or "our" refer to EuroPriceDrop. For data protection purposes, EuroPriceDrop acts as data controller for the personal data collected through this site.
2. Data We Collect
We collect minimal data to operate the site:
- Automatically collected: IP address, browser type, pages visited, referral source, and time on site — via standard web analytics tools. IP addresses are processed in anonymised or pseudonymised form where possible.
- Cookies: We use a cookie consent preference stored in your browser's localStorage, and cookies placed by partner tracking programs (Temu, Klook, Amazon Associates, AliExpress, Agoda, Shein affiliate networks). These track whether a qualifying purchase was made after clicking a partner link. Non-essential cookies are only placed after you accept via the cookie notice.
- Contact data: If you email us at hello@europricedrop.com, we store your email address and message content to respond to your inquiry.
3. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR — Article 6)
We process your data on the following legal bases under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR — EU Regulation 2016/679) and, for UK users, the UK GDPR as retained in UK law:
- Consent (Article 6(1)(a)) — for non-essential cookies and partner tracking cookies placed after your acceptance via the cookie bar.
- Legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f)) — for anonymised analytics to understand site usage and improve content. We have assessed that this processing does not override your fundamental rights and freedoms.
- Contract performance (Article 6(1)(b)) — for email correspondence where you have contacted us requesting a response.
4. How We Use Your Data
Data is used to: operate and improve the site, understand which content is useful to readers, and track qualifying purchases for referral commission attribution through our partner programs. We do not sell your personal data to third parties. We do not use your data for targeted advertising beyond the partner tracking described above.
5. Partner Tracking & Affiliate Links
EuroPriceDrop participates in affiliate and partner programs operated by Temu, Shein, AliExpress, Amazon, Klook, and Agoda. When you click a partner link and make a qualifying purchase, a cookie is placed on your device by the brand's tracking system to attribute the referral commission. This is disclosed on every page of this site. These partner cookies are subject to each brand's own privacy policies — we recommend reviewing those policies for each platform you transact with.

- Analytics cookies — to understand site usage (pages visited, referral source). Placed only after acceptance.
- Partner tracking cookies — placed by affiliate partner networks (Temu, Klook, Amazon, etc.) to attribute qualifying purchases. Placed only after acceptance.

You can withdraw consent at any time by clearing your browser's cookies and localStorage data. Refusing cookies does not affect your ability to access deal content on this site.
8. Third-Party Links
Our site links to third-party websites (Temu, Shein, AliExpress, Amazon, Klook, Agoda). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these sites. Review their respective privacy policies — and exercise your data protection rights directly with those controllers — before making a purchase.
9. Data Retention
Analytics data is retained for up to 25 months in line with regulatory guidance for web analytics. Email correspondence is retained for 3 years unless you request earlier deletion. Partner tracking cookies are set and managed by the respective brands under their own retention policies — typically 30 to 90 days.
10. Data Transfers
