We collect only what helps us run this reading index and respond to readers.

Updated September 14, 2026.

Site traffic

We use Cloudflare Web Analytics for aggregate traffic and performance statistics. It does not use analytics cookies, browser storage, or visitor fingerprinting. We do not use Google Analytics or advertising trackers.

Your browser may use session storage to remember your place as you navigate. This supports the site and is not used for analytics. Our host, Netlify, processes technical request information to deliver and protect the site.

Your browser preference

Choose whether visits from this browser contribute to traffic statistics.

Excluding this browser saves a preference on this device; it is not sent to Cloudflare. Repeat this in each browser and device you use. Clearing site data removes the preference. This affects future visits only and does not stop hosting request logs.

Corrections and email

If you submit a correction, Netlify receives the fields you send, including any optional email address. If you email us, Gmail processes that correspondence. We use these messages to review corrections and respond. Please avoid sending sensitive personal information.

Corrections may inform public updates to the index; submitter email addresses are not published. Messages may remain in our form or email records for follow-up and correction history. Contact us to request access to or deletion of your personal information.
