Privacy policy.

Short version

We use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which is cookieless and does not track individual users across sessions. We do not set first-party tracking cookies. We do not run third-party advertising trackers. We do not currently collect email addresses or operate any account system. Clicking an affiliate link hands you off to an external vendor, at which point that vendor's own privacy policy applies.

Cloudflare Web Analytics

Aggregated traffic metrics — pageviews, referrers, country-level geography, browser type — are collected through Cloudflare Web Analytics. Cloudflare's analytics product does not use cookies, does not fingerprint visitors, and does not collect personally identifiable information. The data we see is aggregate and anonymous. Cloudflare publishes an overview of how the product works at cloudflare.com/web-analytics.

Cloudflare as hosting and network provider

StackBrief is hosted on Cloudflare Pages and served through Cloudflare's global network. As part of normal network operation, Cloudflare processes IP addresses and request metadata for content delivery, caching, DDoS protection, and bot mitigation. This is standard for any Cloudflare-hosted site. Cloudflare's privacy practices are documented at cloudflare.com/privacypolicy.

Affiliate link redirects

Outbound affiliate links on this site follow the pattern stackbriefhq.com/go/[slug] and are handled by a Cloudflare Worker that performs an HTTP redirect to the destination vendor. The Worker does not set cookies, does not persist user-level identifiers, and does not log personal information. At the moment the redirect completes, you are on the vendor's site and their tracking, cookies, terms, and privacy policy apply — not StackBrief's.

UTM parameters

Some outbound links append UTM parameters (utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign, and similar). UTM parameters are standard URL tags that help both the destination vendor and StackBrief understand which content channel drove a click. They do not contain personal information. You can see them in the browser address bar after redirect, and you can remove them manually before completing any sign-up if you prefer.

Cookies

StackBrief does not set any first-party cookies. Because there are no cookies, there is no cookie banner. After a redirect through an affiliate link, the destination vendor may set its own cookies under its own domain, subject to that vendor's privacy policy — not ours.

Email and accounts

StackBrief does not currently collect email addresses, run a newsletter, or operate any reader account system. If and when that changes — for example, if we launch a newsletter — this page will be updated in advance, and any signup form will clearly disclose what the submitted email address is used for.

Third-party content

StackBrief does not embed third-party advertising trackers, social media widgets with tracking pixels, or remarketing tags. Outbound links to external sites are plain HTML links. External sites reached from StackBrief operate under their own privacy practices.

Your rights

Because StackBrief does not collect personal information from you, there is no account, profile, or personal data for us to access, export, or delete on request. If you believe we hold personal information about you in any form, or have any other privacy question, contact hello@stackbriefhq.com and we will respond.

Children

StackBrief is a business publication intended for adult professionals evaluating B2B software. It is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from children.

Changes to this policy

When this policy materially changes, the "last updated" date at the top of this page will be revised. Non-material edits — typo fixes, clarifications, reformatting — may occur without a date revision.
