Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 7, 2026

The short version: Stack Signal is a read-only website. It has no accounts and does not ask for personal information. We use Google Analytics to understand which articles are read, and that service sets cookies.

What we collect

  • No account, email, or payment information. There is no sign-up.
  • Standard web-server logs (IP address, requested page, user agent, timestamp) that any web server needs to operate and to detect abuse.
  • Anonymous usage statistics through Google Analytics (see below).

Google Analytics and cookies

  • We use Google Analytics 4 to measure traffic: pages viewed, approximate location (country/city level), device and browser type, and how visitors arrived. Google Analytics sets cookies (such as _ga) in your browser to tell visits apart. The data is processed by Google under its own policies: https://policies.google.com/privacy
  • You can opt out with Google's browser add-on (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout), by blocking cookies in your browser, or by using a privacy tool.
  • We do not use social-media tracking pixels.

Advertising

  • Stack Signal may in future show ads served by Google AdSense or similar partners. If that happens, Google and its partners may use cookies to serve ads based on your visits to this and other sites. You can manage personalised advertising at https://adssettings.google.com and learn how Google uses data from sites that use its services at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. We will update this page before any ads appear.

What we store and where

  • The site is static and has no user database. Content is published as pre-built HTML.
  • The authoring side runs on a private server; it stores articles and site configuration, not visitor data.

What we share

  • We do not sell or rent data. Analytics data is processed by Google as described above, and server logs stay on our server.

Third-party assets

  • The site may load fonts from the Google Fonts CDN, which means your browser makes a request to Google when a page loads.

Your rights

  • We hold no personal data about you beyond standard server logs. To ask about or request deletion of anything we hold, email us.

Changes

  • If this policy changes materially, we'll update the date above.
