What The Files Say

Privacy policy

Last updated 2026-11-12.

The short version

No accounts, no analytics, no advertising scripts, no tracking pixels. The site's small script only powers the topic filter and the "copy link" button.

Server logs

Our web host keeps standard server logs (IP address, browser, pages requested, time) for security and troubleshooting.

Amazon affiliate links and cookies

Book and documentary links go to Amazon with our Associates tag. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases. When you click one, Amazon may place cookies in your browser so it can credit a purchase to us. Those cookies are set by Amazon, not by this site, and are covered by Amazon's privacy notice. You can block or delete cookies in your browser.

Share buttons

Share links are plain links to X, Facebook and Reddit. Nothing loads from those sites unless you click.

Email

If you email us, we use your address only to reply.

Children

This site isn't directed at children under 13 and doesn't knowingly collect their information.
