What we know
We want to know whether the digest is useful and whether it reads well on your phone — nothing more. So we measure in the least invasive way we could find: no cookies, no accounts, no personal data, and the numbers published right here in the open.
The short version
- Page views (which editions get read)
- Where you came from (referrer)
- Device type & browser
- Country (never finer)
- Screen size bucket (to check mobile)
- Set cookies or store anything on you
- Collect names, emails, or IPs
- Fingerprint your device
- Track you across other sites
- Sell, share, or run ads
How it works
It doesn't. This site runs no analytics at all — no Cloudflare, no Google, no counters, no beacons. It's fully self-contained: apart from the articles you choose to click through to, your browser makes zero requests to any third party (fonts included — they're served from here, not a CDN). We literally have no way to count you, and we prefer it that way.
Nothing to opt out of. There's no tracking script to block, no banner to dismiss, no cookie to refuse. The only thing kept on your device is your own display preferences (chosen filters, night mode) — stored locally, never sent anywhere.
The numbers, in the open
There aren't any — because we don't measure anything. That's the point.
