This page explains exactly what Aliteq collects, why, and what you can do about it. We've kept it specific rather than generic — if something isn't listed here, we don't collect it.
The short version
- We don't ask you to create an account to read anything.
- Analytics cookies are off until you accept them. Decline and no analytics cookies are set.
- We only store an email address if you personally type one into the newsletter box.
- We don't sell your data, and we never have.
What we collect
Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand which articles people read. It runs under Google Consent Mode. If you are in the EU/EEA, the UK or Switzerland, every storage category defaults to denied until you make a choice in our consent banner, so no analytics or advertising cookies are set unless you accept them. If you decline, Google receives only aggregated, cookieless signals that cannot identify you.
We also use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which is cookieless by design and does not fingerprint or track individuals across sites.
Newsletter
If you subscribe, we store your email address, the page you subscribed from, and the timestamps of your signup and confirmation. That is the complete list — we do not ask for or store your name, location, or IP address. We use it only to send the newsletter, and you can unsubscribe from any email.
Server logs
The site runs on Cloudflare, which processes standard request data (including IP address) to serve pages and protect against abuse. This is a technical necessity of putting a website on the internet and is handled under Cloudflare's own terms.
Who processes your data
- Cloudflare — hosting, CDN, cookieless analytics.
- Google— Google Analytics 4, and Google AdSense for advertising (see below). Consent is collected through Google's certified Consent Management Platform.
- Supabase — stores the newsletter list and our article database.
Advertising
We use Google AdSense to show ads. Google and its advertising partners may use cookies and similar technologies to serve and measure ads. For visitors in the EU/EEA, the UK and Switzerland, those advertising cookies are set only if you consent through the consent banner — Google's certified Consent Management Platform, which lets you consent, refuse, or manage your choices per purpose and per vendor. You can change your choice at any time by clearing this site's data, which brings the banner back.

Some outbound links are affiliate links, which may earn us a commission if you buy something. They never change the price you pay and never decide what we cover — see our editorial policy. Affiliate links do not track you across the web on our behalf.
Your rights
If you are in the EU/EEA or UK, the GDPR gives you the right to access the data we hold about you, correct it, delete it, object to processing, and receive a copy in a portable format. In practice, the only personal data we hold is a newsletter email address — and you can have it erased at any time by emailing us or clicking unsubscribe.
You can change or withdraw your analytics consent at any time by clearing this site's data in your browser, which resets the banner.
Our legal basis is consent for analytics cookies and the newsletter, and legitimate interest for the minimum server logging needed to keep the site online and secure.
You also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.
Children
Aliteq is written for a general adult audience. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 16.
