This policy explains which data Explainer Wire processes, why, and which rights you have. We follow the principle of data minimisation: we collect only what is needed to publish news and to keep the site secure.

1. Controller

Explainer Wire, explainerwire.com. Contact: editor@explainerwire.com.

2. What we collect

  • Technical data: IP address, browser type, requested page, timestamp. Stored briefly in server logs to keep the service available and secure.
  • Newsletter data: the email address you submit and the confirmation timestamp.
  • Contact messages: name, email address and message you send us.
  • Anonymous interaction data: a random identifier stored in your browser so that reactions and comment votes cannot be repeated.

3. Legal bases

We rely on legitimate interest for securing the service, consent for analytics and advertising cookies, and contract or consent for newsletters and contact requests.

4. Cookies and consent

Strictly necessary cookies keep the site functional and are always active. Measurement and advertising cookies are only set after you give consent, and you can withdraw that consent at any time using the cookie settings in the site footer. We use Google Consent Mode so that advertising and analytics tags respect your choice.

5. Advertising

This site may display advertising served by Google AdSense and other partners. Google and its partners may use cookies or similar technologies to show ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites. You can manage personalised advertising in your Google account settings, at adssettings.google.com, or opt out through aboutads.info.

6. Retention

Server logs are deleted or anonymised after 30 days. Newsletter data is kept until you unsubscribe. Contact messages are kept for up to 24 months for correspondence purposes.

7. Your rights

You have the right to access, rectify and erase your data, to restrict or object to processing, and to data portability. Write to editor@explainerwire.com and we will respond within one month. You may also lodge a complaint with your national data protection authority.

8. International transfers

Some service providers process data outside your country, including in the United States. Where this happens we rely on appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses.

9. Changes

We update this policy when our processing changes. The date of the last revision is shown on this page: 30 October 2026.
