Your Privacy on The Wasp Alloy

When it comes to The Wasp Alloy itself, no personal data whatsoever is collected. This website is built on the principle of individual sovereignty - no personal information is required to access the analysis and research provided here.

Read Status and View Counts

The Wasp Alloy stores a variable in your local browser to determine which articles you have read. This variable serves only to ensure the view count on each post is accurate and does not increment every time you refresh the page.

This does NOT include any identifiable information, such as your IP address, country of residence, or any personal details, with NO exceptions.

Think of it as a checker which asks your browser, "Hey Browser, have you seen this post before?" If the answer is no, the checker tells your browser, "Okay, you are new here, so I'm going to add 1 view to the post." If the answer is yes, the checker says, "Okay, you have seen this post, so the view count won't be changed."

Monetization and Third-Parties

To support the ongoing research, documentation, and geopolitical analysis hosted on this domain, The Wasp Alloy utilizes the A-Ads (Anonymous Ads) network for monetization.

I have specifically chosen A-Ads because it aligns with the values of privacy and autonomy.

• No Cookies: A-Ads does not utilize cookies to track your behavior or build a personal profile.
• No Behavioral Tracking: Unlike mainstream ad networks, A-Ads does not follow you across the internet. It utilizes contextual advertising, meaning the ads you see are based on the content of The Wasp Alloy, not your personal browsing history.
• Technical Metadata: When your browser requests an advertisement, it automatically sends standard technical metadata (such as your IP address and browser type) to the A-Ads servers to facilitate the delivery of the banner. This is a fundamental technical requirement for all web requests in general, and is not used by The Wasp Alloy to identify individual readers.

By using this site, you acknowledge that this technical interaction occurs, while remaining assured that your personal identity remains private and your browsing habits are not being harvested.
