Short version: we don't ask who you are, we use Google Analytics to see which stories people read (without cookies in the EU and the UK), and our ad partners are named below.

Who we are
This policy covers fairgatereport.com ("Fairgate Report", "we"). Privacy questions: [email protected].
What we collect
- No accounts. You can read everything without registering or giving us your name or email.
- Audience statistics. We count page views per day, per page, per type of referrer (for example "Google" or "social") and per country (from the country our CDN reports for the request). This counter uses no cookies and stores no IP addresses, device IDs or anything else that could identify you.
- Google Analytics. We use Google Analytics 4 to understand which stories are read, for how long and how readers find us. It receives your IP address (which Google does not store for Analytics), browser, device type, approximate location and the pages you visit. Outside the EU, the EEA, the UK and Switzerland it may set first-party cookies (
_ga,_ga_*) to tell repeat visits apart; inside those regions, and in any browser that sends Global Privacy Control, it sets no cookies and gets only cookieless signals. We do not use it for advertising. See how Google uses data from sites that use its services. - Server logs. Our hosting provider keeps standard technical logs (IP address, browser type, page requested, time) for security and to keep the site running. They are kept for a limited time and not used for advertising.
- Emails you send us are used only to answer you and are deleted when no longer needed.
Advertising and cookies
The site is free because it shows ads. Ads are served by third-party networks, such as Adsterra. When an ad loads, the network may set or read cookies or similar identifiers and receive information such as your IP address, browser, device type, approximate location and the page you are reading. Networks use this to choose which ad to show, limit how often you see the same ad, prevent fraud and measure performance. Their processing is governed by their own privacy policies:
- Adsterra (cookie and privacy policies)
We do not set advertising cookies ourselves and do not sell or share personal information with anyone. The only cookies from our own site are the Google Analytics ones described above (outside the EU, the EEA, the UK and Switzerland). You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, use a private window, or turn on Global Privacy Control; the site works fully without cookies.
Your rights
If you are in the UK, the EU or the EEA, you have the right to access, correct or delete personal data about you, to object to or restrict its processing, and to complain to your data protection authority. If you live in a US state with a privacy law (such as California), you have the right to know, delete and opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. We hold almost no personal data; for data collected by ad networks, contact them directly using the links above, or write to us and we will help.
Children
The site is a general news site, not directed at children under 13 (16 in the EU), and we do not knowingly collect their data.
Changes
We will update this page if our practices change, and the date at the top will show the latest version.
