When we change our Privacy Policy, we update the document and record the date here. Each entry below says what changed and links to the full text as it was published, so you can read the version that applied at any given time. Archived versions are kept for reference only: the current version is the one that applies.
In effect today
Analytics and online tracking section rewritten for what the site and the dashboard actually use: cookieless audience measurement with Cloudflare Web Analytics; live chat, blog comments, partner attribution and dashboard usage recordings only with your consent; Noticeable and Stripe cookies as essential. Google Analytics and the advertising opt-out programs are removed, and the cookie controls now point to the cookie settings page. A Global Privacy Control signal is treated as a refusal. Your dashboard search history and favorites are kept with your account while it is active.
In effect until October 14, 2026
