Privacy

Kept only in your browser

The journal remembers some things for you, but it keeps them in your own browser, not on our side. That includes:

• which pieces you’ve read and how far you got;
• what you’ve saved for later and your quiz results;
• the name you give on the You page;
• your reading settings: theme, text size and typeface.

There are no accounts. None of this is sent to us, and we can’t see it (the one exception is the anonymous count below of pieces read to the end, which includes no history and nothing about you).

Forget what I’ve read, at the bottom of every page, clears your reading history, your name and your quiz results. To clear everything, including saved pieces and settings, clear this site’s data in your browser’s settings. None of it follows you to a different browser or device.

What does reach us

• Visits. We count visits with Cloudflare Web Analytics, which doesn’t use cookies, and with our own daily tally. The tally records only how many visits there were each day and how many came from a browser that had visited before. It doesn’t record who you are or what you read.
• Pieces read to the end. The first time your browser finishes a piece, we add one to that piece’s count for the day, with the name of the part of the site you followed the link from, such as “Read next” or “a collection”. Your reading history stays in your browser; nothing that identifies you is sent.
• Likes. Liking a piece adds one to that piece’s count. Nothing else is stored.
• Spotted a mistake? What you write is sent to the editors, together with your email address if you choose to give one so we can reply.
• Email sign-ups. If you sign up for collections by email, we keep your email address, and your name if you give it, with Cloudflare, and send the emails through Resend. Each email has an unsubscribe link. Once you unsubscribe, you won’t get any more.
• Emails you send us. Mail to editors@ or submissions@ arrives in the journal’s email inbox, which only the editors can open.

We don’t sell or share any of this with anyone else, and we don’t use advertising trackers.
