Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 2, 2026

Information we collect

We collect only what this site needs to function. If you leave a comment, we store the name and email address you provide. If you subscribe to the newsletter, we store your email address so we can send you new articles. If you create a reader account, we store your name and email address.

Like most websites, our servers automatically record basic technical information such as your IP address, browser type, and the pages you visit, which we use for security and to understand aggregate readership.

Cookies

We use a small number of cookies: to remember your theme preference, to keep you signed in, and for security (our CDN provider, Cloudflare, sets security cookies to protect the site). We do not use cookies to track you across other websites.

Advertising

We may display ads served by Google AdSense. Google uses cookies — including the DoubleClick cookie — to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info/choices.

How we use your information

Your information is used to operate the site: publishing your comments, sending the newsletter you asked for, keeping your account working, and keeping the site secure. We do not sell your personal information to anyone.

Data retention and your rights

Newsletter subscriptions last until you unsubscribe (every email has an unsubscribe link). You may ask us at any time to show, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you by contacting us at [email protected].

Children's privacy

This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we will update the “Last updated” date above. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
