Website Privacy — The Obscura Files

What the website is

theobscurafiles.com is the website of The Obscura Files YouTube channel, operated by Noah Gandley.

It is a static website. When you visit, your browser downloads ordinary files from it: web pages, a stylesheet, a small script that runs the menu and the library search, fonts and images. All of them are served from this site. None are loaded from other companies.

What the website itself does not collect

It has no accounts, sign-ups, contact forms, comment forms, newsletter forms, checkout or payment processing.
Its own pages and script do not set cookies or save anything in your browser's storage.
It does not run analytics, advertising or tracking scripts.
It does not embed YouTube players or other third-party content.

The library search on the documentaries page runs entirely in your browser. What you type is not sent anywhere.

Hosting and technical information

The website is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. To deliver pages and protect the site from abuse, Cloudflare processes technical information about each request, such as your IP address, the page requested, and your browser's user-agent string. This happens whenever anyone visits any website hosted this way. It is not something this site adds.

Cloudflare handles that information under its own privacy policy and cookie policy, including how long it is kept.

Links to other websites

Documentary and channel links open YouTube, where the Google Privacy Policy and the YouTube Terms of Service apply. The support link opens Buy Me a Coffee, which has its own privacy policy. Once you follow a link, the other website's own privacy practices apply.

This website does not pass any information about you to YouTube or Buy Me a Coffee. When you click a link, your browser contacts that site directly.

Orgo Obscura Analytics

The channel's private analytics application, Orgo Obscura Analytics, is a separate system and is not part of this website. It has its own privacy policy.
