Your information

Privacy

We don’t ask who you are, and we don’t sell or share anything about you.

The short version

• No accounts, no sign-ups, no advertising and no tracking cookies.
• We count visits in a privacy-friendly way that does not identify you.
• Some content, such as fonts, photos and videos, loads from other companies' servers. Like any website, those servers see your device's internet address when they send it.

Visitor counts

The site is hosted by Cloudflare. We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to see how many people visit and which pages they read. It does not use cookies, does not fingerprint your device and does not follow you to other websites. Cloudflare also keeps standard server logs to run and protect the site. You can read Cloudflare's privacy policy.

Content from other sites

• Fonts are loaded from Google Fonts. See Google's privacy policy.
• Story photos come from the publishers that ran each story. They are resized for your screen by wsrv.nl, a free, open-source image service, which receives the photo address and your device's internet address when it sends the smaller copy. If it is unavailable, the photo loads directly from the publisher.
• Video thumbnails are loaded from YouTube's image servers.
• Videos play in YouTube's privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com). Nothing plays or loads from the video player until you press play. Once a video is playing, YouTube's own policy applies.

What is stored on your device

A few things are kept only on your own device, in your browser, and none of them is ever sent to us:

• The autumn leaves setting, if you switch the leaves off or on.
• Your New Believers progress: the steps you tick on the New Believers page.
• A saved copy of the latest edition, so the paper can still be read when you are offline.
• A note that the opening has already played (the burning bush and the paper spinning in), so it plays once per visit and not again each time you move around the site. It is forgotten when you close the site.

You can clear all of it at any time by clearing this site's data in your browser's settings.

Book links on the site go straight to each publisher's or bookstore's own page, with no tracking codes. We earn nothing from them.

Links to other websites

Headlines take you to the publisher's own website, which has its own privacy practices. We encourage you to read them.

Children

The site does not knowingly collect information from anyone, including children.

Changes

If these practices change, we will update this page and the date at the bottom.
