Disclosure
Cookies, ads, and affiliates
This page is the honest status of tracking on Thread & Fade — not a wall of “we value your privacy” with a fake vendor list.
Cookies we set
The editorial site is static HTML. We do not set an analytics cookie, a login cookie, or a newsletter cookie from this codebase. Your browser may still store cookies from the host, a CDN, or tools you click through to.
Google AdSense
AdSense is live on this deployment using ca-pub-4386698529577104. Google may set advertising and measurement cookies. Ads are labeled. Personalized ads follow your Google account and Ad Settings choices.
After approval, add your publisher line to /ads.txt by setting the environment variable and redeploying. Do not paste another site’s ca-pub- ID.
Affiliate links
Some articles include product callouts. If a callout has a URL, it is marked rel="nofollow sponsored"and the page carries an affiliate disclosure. If there is no URL, it is an editorial recommendation only.
Newsletter
PUBLIC_NEWSLETTER_URL is unset, so the Saturday briefing CTA falls back to email. No list vendor cookie is loaded.
