Privacy and data handling

What the site currently does

The public site renders published content, article metadata, and crawl metadata such as `robots.txt`, canonical URLs, and sitemaps. It also stores newsletter subscriptions for readers who opt in through the signup form.

Newsletter signup

Newsletter signup asks for an email address, a delivery frequency, and explicit marketing consent. Subscription records are tied to the property site and can be updated or deactivated later through the email workflow.

Cookies and ads

Optional cookies are controlled through the consent banner. Ad loading is gated behind advertising consent in the browser so readers can reject optional cookies and still use the site.

Analytics and future changes

As measurement expands, this page should continue to document exactly what is collected, how long it is retained, and how readers can change their choices.
