Privacy

Short version: there are no accounts, this site sets no cookies, and clicking a headline takes you straight to the publisher.

What happens when you read the site

The pages are plain files. The only request a page makes on its own is a check, once a minute, of a small file on this site (/api/version.json) to see whether newer stories have been published, so it can offer to reload. It sends nothing about you.

Headlines link directly to the publishers' own sites. What those sites collect when you visit them is covered by their own privacy policies.

Server logs

The site is served from a web server that keeps standard access logs: the page requested, the time, your IP address, and your browser's user agent string. That is the ordinary minimum any web server records in order to function and to be debugged.

Analytics

This build has no analytics of any kind. No Google Analytics, no Plausible, no tracking pixels, no cookies set by this site.

Advertising

This build carries no advertising. No ad network code is loaded and no ad-related cookies are set.

Affiliate links

Where a link to a retailer is an affiliate link, it is labelled as one at the point of the link. An affiliate link may earn a commission if you buy something, at no extra cost to you. No recommendation on this site is influenced by whether a link pays.

Cookies this site sets

None. The site itself sets no cookies and uses no local storage. Any cookies present in your browser on these pages come from somewhere other than this site.

Children

This site is a general news site and is not directed at children under 13, and no personal information is knowingly collected from them.

Changes

This page describes the site as currently built and is regenerated with every deploy, so it reflects what is actually running rather than what was intended at some point in the past.
