Teeth of the Divine is a hobbyist project run by individuals dedicated to all things metal. We are not a corporate entity and do not strive for world domination. Our goal is to provide you with content about the culture we all love and enjoy, while respecting the privacy of our readers as much as possible.
Aside from Google Analytics for traffic insights and essential features (such as optimizing site speed and storing your consent), Teeth of the Divine does not use tracking cookies for general browsing. We are operating on a minimal-data approach and only collect tracking information with your explicit consent. You can withdraw consent you’ve given at any time.
You can explore the full site with cookies disabled in your browser. However, please note that doing so may limit certain interactive features (such as saving your details for future comments or viewing embedded media players from third-party sites like YouTube or Bandcamp.)
Comments & Data Protection
Leaving a comment requires a nickname and an email address. By selecting the “Save my name, email, and website…” checkbox, you consent to these details being saved via browser cookies to streamline your future posts.
To maintain a high-quality community and block spam, all comments are processed by the Akismet anti-spam plugin. This involves the temporary transfer of data to their servers for verification. To protect commenter privacy, IP addresses are not retained in our records after spam verification is complete. If you do not agree to the processing of your data for these anti-spam and moderation purposes, please refrain from using the comment section.

Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may feature embedded content (such as YouTube videos, SoundCloud players, or Bandcamp streams). This embedded content behaves exactly as if you were visiting the source website directly.
These services may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the content. This is especially true if you have an account and are logged in to those services (for example, being logged into your Google account while watching a YouTube video on our site).
A Note on External Links
Our archives span nearly two decades, with content reaching back to 2008 and earlier through our Digital Metal-era material. Consequently, you may encounter links to bands, labels, or services that are no longer active. While we endeavor to remove “dead” links as we find them, please note that third-party content is beyond our control.
We are not responsible for the current content or privacy practices of external sites. Some legacy links may now lead to “Not Found” pages or, in some cases, content entirely different from what was originally featured when we first accessed those links ourselves. Use caution when navigating away from our site. In most cases, external links are clearly marked.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to collect web traffic data and generate reports that help us understand how visitors use our site. This service uses its own cookies to track visitor actions. In accordance with privacy standards, we have configured Google Analytics to anonymize IP addresses.
Crucially, Google Analytics is disabled by default on this site and will only activate if you provide explicit consent via our cookie banner.
Even after consenting, you may opt-out or manage your data at any time by:
- Using our site’s cookie settings to withdraw consent (at the bottom of the page.)
- Installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on (or 3rd party AdBlockers.)
- Disabling cookies within your browser settings.
For more information, please review Google’s official privacy policy.
Security & Liability
While we do our best to maintain a safe and secure environment, no site or digital storage can be 100% secure on the internet. Therefore, teethofthedivine.com and its contributors cannot be held responsible for the actions of malicious third parties (such as hacking or data breaches) that may lead to information being compromised or misused despite our security efforts.
