Privacy Policy

Effective date: July 17, 2026

cronfeed.work is a reader-first publication. This page explains what information we collect, how we use it, and how to contact us.

What we collect

• Basic server logs such as IP address, request path, user agent, and timestamp.
• Analytics, performance, and security data needed to operate the site.
• Account-related data when you sign in, such as your verified email, linked legacy Auth0 identity during migration, saved articles, reading history, preferences, and quiz activity.
• Short-lived sign-in challenge records and security audit data. Network addresses and user agents used for authentication are stored as keyed hashes where practical.
• Email or other information you voluntarily send to us.
• Advertising-related data from third-party partners when ads are enabled.

How we use information

• To deliver pages, accounts, saved articles, reading settings, and quiz features.
• To monitor uptime, performance, abuse, and security issues.
• To improve editorial products, product design, and reader experience.
• To support advertising, monetization, and measurement where applicable.
• To respond to reader questions, correction requests, licensing inquiries, or legal notices.

Cookies and local storage

cronfeed.work uses a first-party __Host-cf_session cookie solely to authenticate and protect reader accounts. It is Secure, HTTP-only, and SameSite=Lax. By default, it keeps a reader signed in for 30 days after their latest visit and expires no later than 90 days after authentication; signing out revokes the session immediately. Browser storage may hold a non-secret signed-in hint plus language, theme, read-state, topic-filter, and related preferences; it does not hold the first-party session credential. During the migration window, Auth0 may also use browser storage or cookies when you choose the previous sign-in method. Third-party providers may use similar technologies for analytics, fraud prevention, or advertising.

Third-party services

We may rely on third-party providers for hosting, authentication, analytics, CDN/security, and advertising services. Those providers may process data according to their own privacy terms.

Current categories include:

• Infrastructure and hosting
• Authentication and account services
• CDN, caching, and security services
• Advertising and monetization partners

Advertising

If ads appear on cronfeed.work, advertising partners may use request data, cookies, or similar identifiers to serve, limit, or measure ads. We do not sell full reader account histories as standalone datasets, but third-party ad and measurement providers may process data needed to operate their services.

Data retention

We keep data for as long as reasonably necessary to run the site, maintain accounts, protect the service, comply with law, and resolve disputes. Retention periods may vary by data type.

Your choices

• You can choose not to create an account.
• You can clear local browser storage on your device.
• You can contact us if you want us to review or delete account-related information we control, subject to legal and operational limits.

Children

cronfeed.work is not directed to children under 13.

Changes

We may update this policy as the product, monetization, or legal requirements change. Material updates will appear on this page with an updated effective date.
