Privacy

Privacy notice

We are a publication that wants to be read, not a data business. We collect as little as we can and we tell you exactly what that is.

What we collect

Aggregate click events

When you use an outbound 18+ button, we record a daily aggregate count by page, placement, channel and creative. No IP address, browser family, referrer, query string, cookie or event-level timestamp is stored.

Functional cookies

A cookie remembering you confirmed you're 18+ (cq_age), plus a standard session cookie on the forum so posting forms can resist spam and CSRF.

Standard server logs

Our host and CDN keep short-lived request logs for security and abuse prevention, rotated and then deleted.

What we never collect

Your IP address in our click counters.
Your email or account — we do not have logins.
Cross-site advertising profiles. We do not run third-party ad trackers or sell data.
Anything about your identity or orientation. We do not infer it and we do not store guesses about it.

Forum posts

Forum posts are public. The name you type, the message you publish and the posting time are displayed. Do not post anything you would not want public. Before publication, the title and message are sent to DeepSeek for moderation and light rewriting; links are blocked before and after that check.

Where outbound links go

When you follow a commercial external 18+ link, you leave for a site with its own privacy practices. Our redirector sends Referrer-Policy: no-referrer, so the destination is not told which page you came from. We cannot control what the destination does once you are there — read their policy.

Your choices

You can clear cookies any time in your browser settings.
Because our click analytics are aggregate and non-identifying, there is no personal click profile to request or delete.
Questions or requests under GDPR/CCPA: contact us and we will help.
