Privacy Policy

What this site does

Website Checker lets you paste a link and get a risk score, a traffic-light verdict and plain-English reasons for that verdict. To do this, the URL you submit is analyzed using a mix of offline heuristics and external threat-intelligence and domain-information services.

Data we process

• The URL you submit, the resulting risk score/verdict and related signals (e.g. domain age, DNS, certificate, reputation results) may be stored in a local cache so that repeat checks of the same URL can be served quickly.
• Your IP address may be processed transiently to apply rate limiting and, if enabled, anti-bot verification (Cloudflare Turnstile). It is not stored long-term.
• We do not require an account, and we do not knowingly collect personal information beyond what is described here.

Cookies & advertising

If advertising is enabled on this site, we use Google AdSense to display ads. Google and its partners may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites.

• You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
• You can also visit aboutads.info to opt out of participating vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising.

Consent (EEA / UK visitors)

If you are visiting from the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, a consent banner (Google Funding Choices) may appear asking for your consent to the use of cookies and personal data for advertising purposes, in line with applicable laws (GDPR / UK GDPR). You can change your choices at any time via that banner.
