How Southstack handles data

Analytics. Southstack uses Cloudflare Web Analytics to understand aggregate site traffic. It is configured as a cookieless measurement service.

Advertising. Southstack may display ads provided by Google AdSense. Google and its advertising partners may use cookies or similar identifiers to measure ads and provide personalised or non-personalised advertising under their policies. You can review or change Google ad preferences through Google Ad Settings.

Affiliate links. Some recommendations include affiliate links. If you purchase through one, Southstack may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. Affiliate links are disclosed next to the recommendation. Read the affiliate disclosure for more.

Newsletter. If you subscribe, your email address is submitted to Buttondown so it can send you new-post emails. Each message includes an unsubscribe link. Southstack does not sell subscriber email addresses.

External links. Links to other sites are governed by those sites' own privacy practices.
