Analytics

This site uses free analytics tools to understand traffic and how pages are used:

• Cloudflare Web Analytics — aggregate traffic counts (page views, top pages, referrers, countries, devices). It's cookieless and doesn't track you across other sites.
• Microsoft Clarity — behavior analytics such as heatmaps, scroll depth, and session recordings, so we can see which parts of a page get used and which don't. Clarity sets a first-party cookie to group your pageviews into one session, and masks input fields (like the search box) by default so typed text isn't recorded.
• A first-party location log — each pageview also gets sent to a small server we run (a Cloudflare Worker), which records your approximate city, region, postal code, and coordinates, derived from Cloudflare's own edge network rather than from a third-party geolocation service. This is more precise than the country-level data the two tools above give, and it's used only in aggregate, to see broadly where visitors are coming from — never to identify or contact an individual visitor. We don't store your IP address alongside it.

None of those analytics tools are used to choose ads, and none of that data is shared with or sold to a third party. If your browser sends a Do Not Track signal, Microsoft Clarity and the first-party location log are not loaded for that visit. Cloudflare Web Analytics is included on each page and still loads; it is cookieless. Do Not Track does not stop the Google AdSense script described below.

Advertising

Public pages load Google AdSense Auto ads (publisher ca-pub-5829415918092898). Google may use cookies and similar technologies to serve and measure ads, including ads based on visits to this site and others.

How Google uses data from sites that use its services: Google's partner-sites policy ↗. Ad personalization controls: Google Ads Settings ↗.

What we don't do

• No selling your data, and no sharing it with third parties for our own marketing.
• No fingerprinting or other techniques to identify you across visits beyond the ordinary cookies described above.

Third-party links

Most of this site's content is aggregated from public news feeds, and articles link out to the original source. Those sites have their own privacy practices, which this policy doesn't cover.

Data handled by our vendors

Cloudflare's, Microsoft's, and Google's own privacy statements cover how they handle the data their tools collect: Cloudflare's Privacy Policy ↗, Microsoft's Privacy Statement ↗, and Google's Privacy Policy ↗.

Changes to this policy

If what this site collects or how it's used changes, this page will be updated to reflect that.
