Privacy
Last updated 22 May 2026The short version
We do not track you. There are no advertising trackers, no analytics services, no social-media pixels, and no cookies. Nothing you read here is shared with a third party, because no third parties are involved in serving this site.
No third-party requests
Every asset — fonts, styles, scripts, images — is served from this site’s own domain. We deliberately avoid third-party CDNs (including Google Fonts) because they would expose your IP address and reading activity to another company. Article images, where present, are hosted locally for the same reason.
What the view counter does (and doesn’t) collect
Each article shows a global view count. When you open an article your browser sends a single, anonymous “+1” to our own counter. We do not record your IP address, user-agent, referrer, location, or any identifier alongside that count — only an integer per article is stored. To avoid inflating the number, your browser remembers (in local storage, which never leaves your device) that it already counted an article today.
Local storage
We use your browser’s local storage for two non-tracking purposes only: remembering your light/dark theme choice, and the view-counter de-duplication flag described above. This data stays on your device and is never transmitted.
Server logs
This site is served by Cloudflare Pages. Like any web host, the edge network may process connection metadata transiently to deliver pages and mitigate abuse. We do not operate our own analytics on top of it and we do not build reader profiles.
Reaching us securely
We are working on a SecureDrop channel for confidential submissions. Until it is live, do not send sensitive material through ordinary channels. When it launches, instructions will appear here and in the site footer.
Sources
Some reporting originates from places where reading or sharing it carries personal risk. We design this site to minimise the digital traces a visit leaves, but no website can guarantee anonymity. If you are in a high-risk environment, consider using the Tor Browser and a trusted VPN.
