Privacy policy

Last updated: 1 October 2026.

What we collect

We do not use cookies or advertising trackers on this site, and we do not ask you to create an account. If you email us, we receive your email address and your message, and we use them only to reply.

Visit counts

To see how many people read our stories, we use Cloudflare Web Analytics. It does not use cookies or other storage on your device and does not build a profile of you. It reports, in total, which pages are read, which sites send readers here, browser and device types, countries and page speed.

Hosting

This site is hosted by Cloudflare, which processes technical information such as IP addresses to deliver pages and protect the site from abuse. Cloudflare's handling of that data is described in its privacy policy.

Links to other sites

Our stories link to sources and to our Instagram, Threads and X accounts. Those sites have their own privacy policies.

Advertising

We may show ads through Google AdSense in future. Before any ads appear, we will update this policy to explain what that involves and, where the law requires it, ask for your consent to cookies.
