Last updated: 1 November 2026
In short
- We use Google Analytics cookies only if you accept them.
- They are used solely to monitor traffic to this site.
- Your data is never sold, and never sent to third parties unless we are legally required to do so.
- If you reject cookies, no analytics code is loaded and no analytics cookies are set.
Who we are
This website, the Bob Lazar Archive & Dossier (boblazar.site), is an educational and research archive. The site operator is the data controller for the limited information described on this page.
What we collect and why
If you accept cookies, Google Analytics collects anonymous usage information so we can understand how many people visit the site and which sections are of interest. This may include:
- Pages viewed and the time spent on them
- Approximate location (country / region), derived from your IP address
- Browser, device type and operating system
- How you arrived at the site (for example a search engine or link)
We do not use this information to identify you personally, and we do not collect names, email addresses or any account details through this site.

Legal basis
Analytics cookies are used on the basis of your consent (UK GDPR / EU GDPR Article 6(1)(a) and the ePrivacy rules). Your choice-remembering cookie is strictly necessary to respect your preference.
Sharing your data
We never sell your data. We do not share it with third parties, with one exception: analytics data is processed on our behalf by Google, and we may disclose information if we are legally required to do so (for example by a court order). Google may process data outside the UK / EEA under its own safeguards; see how Google uses data.
Your choices and rights
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time, as easily as you gave it:
You can also delete cookies through your browser settings. Under data protection law you have the right to access, correct or erase personal data we hold about you, to restrict or object to processing, and to complain to your data protection authority (in the UK, the Information Commissioner's Office, ico.org.uk).
