Privacy Policy

Overview

zxcpoi.com ("zxcpoi", "we", "us") publishes news and analysis on software development, cybersecurity, and technology. This policy explains what information is collected when you visit the site, how it is used, and the choices available to you. By using this site, you agree to the practices described here.

Information we collect

We do not require an account to read this site, and we do not collect names, postal addresses, or payment information. The only information we receive is:

• Standard server log data (IP address, browser user-agent, requested URL, timestamp) generated automatically by our web server and CDN for security and reliability purposes.
• Aggregate, anonymous analytics about page visits (see "Analytics" below).
• Whatever you choose to send us directly, such as your email address, if you contact us via our contact page or by email.

Cookies and local storage

This site stores one first-party value in your browser's localStorage — your light/dark theme preference. It is not a cookie, is never transmitted to our servers, and contains no personal information. We do not use first-party cookies for tracking.

Analytics

We use Umami, a self-hosted, cookieless analytics tool, to understand aggregate traffic patterns (e.g. which articles are popular, which countries and browsers visitors use). Umami does not use cookies, does not track you across other websites, and does not build an individual profile of you.

Article view counts

Each article displays an approximate view count. Viewing an article increments an aggregate counter on our server; no personal identifier is stored alongside it.

Advertising and third-party vendors

This site participates in advertising programs, including Google AdSense. When ads are served on zxcpoi.com, third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the internet.

You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, and you may opt out of third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.

If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we seek your consent before serving personalized ads or related cookies, in line with applicable law.

Content delivery network

Images on this site are served from a Bunny.net content delivery network (cdn-blog.zxcpoi.com) for performance. Bunny.net may process standard request metadata (such as IP address) to route and cache content efficiently; it does not receive any information beyond what is required to serve the requested file.

Children's privacy

This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of any personal information we hold about you (for example, an email you sent us). To make a request, contact us using the details below.

Third-party links

Our articles link to external websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites, and we encourage you to review their policies before providing any information.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the effective date above.
