First-party measurement

We measure page views, engaged reading and related-story interactions on our server. Referrers are reduced to categories such as Google search or direct traffic. We do not collect search terms or full referrer URLs in these measurements, use advertising pixels, or fingerprint readers.

Random browser visit identifiers expire after 30 minutes of inactivity. Hashed temporary records are pruned after two days; aggregated measurement is retained for 180 days. Do Not Track, Global Privacy Control, automation and editorial browsers are excluded. A visit count is not a claim about a unique person.

Essential operation

Editorial sign-in and contact forms use essential session cookies. Our host and Cloudflare delivery infrastructure process network addresses, requested URLs, browser information and timestamps to deliver and protect the website. Infrastructure logs are separate from the aggregate readership dashboard.

Messages

The contact form stores the email, message and article reference you submit in a private inbox. These messages are not public and are not input to the article-generation pipeline. Do not submit account passwords, API keys, confidential prompts or private documents. To request correction or deletion, contact us using the email associated with your message.

Editorial tools and external sites

AI production services receive public source material and editorial drafts, not the private reader inbox. Source links lead to other organizations with their own privacy policies. Database backups retain 14 daily snapshots.
