Privacy Policy
How this site uses analytics, embeds, and browser storage.
At a glance
This page explains the limited tracking and third-party tools currently used on The Cubeless Chronicles. It is meant to describe the site as it works today in plain language, not read like a generic ad-tech policy.
- Google Analytics 4 is used for high-level traffic and reading trends.
- One browser preference is stored so the privacy notice stays dismissed after you close it.
- Some stories may embed media from YouTube or Vimeo.
- Outbound links to Instagram, YouTube, VoiceMap, and other sites follow those platforms' own privacy rules.
Why this page is short
This site is a travel publication, not an ad platform. The goal here is to explain the current setup clearly, note the few third-party services involved, and point to the controls you can use if you want a lower-tracking browsing experience.
Analytics
This site uses Google Analytics 4 to understand high-level traffic patterns such as pageviews, referral sources, approximate geography, device type, and which stories or pages are being read. That information helps us understand whether recent SEO and content work is actually helping people find the site.
Google Analytics may place cookies or collect similar browser identifiers in order to measure visits and basic engagement. Google provides its own information about Analytics data practices and browser controls:
Browser storage used by this site
This site stores one local browser preference so the privacy notice does not keep reappearing after you dismiss it.
That preference is stored in your browser as cubeless-privacy-notice-dismissed.
It is only used to remember that dismissal and is not used for advertising, profiling, or audience targeting.
Embedded media and third-party services
Some stories may include embedded content from platforms such as YouTube or Vimeo. When those embeds load, those providers may collect information about your browser or set their own cookies according to their own policies. We do not control those third-party data practices.
External links and social platforms
This site links out to services such as Instagram, YouTube, and VoiceMap. If you follow those links, those platforms may collect information under their own privacy terms.
What this site does not do
At the moment, this site does not use advertising trackers, pop-up consent walls, or a separate marketing-pixel stack. If that changes, this page and the first-visit privacy notice should change with it.
Your choices
You can limit tracking by:
- clearing cookies or site data in your browser
- using private browsing or stricter browser privacy settings
- blocking analytics scripts with browser tools or extensions
- using Google's Analytics opt-out tools linked above
