Data we process

Necessary storage: your language, country, theme and consent choice are stored in your browser so the site works as you set it.

Approximate country: our hosting network tells us the country of a request so we can show local news first. We do not store your IP address and never determine a precise location.

Account: if you create an account, we store your email address, your preferences, followed topics and saved stories to provide these features.

Analytics (only with consent): Google Analytics measures visits, pages read, approximate country, language, traffic source and reading time. We send no names, emails or user IDs.

Advertising (only with consent): Google AdSense may show ads and use cookies for that purpose.

Our own statistics: we count anonymous article views, reads, saves and shares (article, country code and language only) to rank trending stories.

Legal bases

Necessary storage and providing your account: Art. 6(1)(b) and (f) GDPR. Analytics, advertising and preference storage: your consent, Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, which you can withdraw at any time under Cookie Settings.
