Introduction

Welcome to ArgusBrief, a cybersecurity news aggregator. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our data practices.

This privacy policy explains what data we collect (spoiler: very little!), how we use it, and your rights regarding your information.

What We Don't Collect

ArgusBrief is designed with privacy in mind. We do NOT:

• Use tracking cookies or analytics scripts
• Require user accounts or registration
• Collect email addresses or personal information
• Store data in your browser (localStorage/sessionStorage)

What We Do Collect

Cloudflare Analytics

We use Cloudflare for content delivery (CDN) and security. Cloudflare provides us with minimal, aggregated analytics including:

• Total number of visitors
• Geographic location (country/region level only)
• Browser types and device categories

This data is aggregated and anonymized. Cloudflare does not track individual users across websites.

Cookies

ArgusBrief does not set any cookies.

However, Cloudflare may set minimal cookies for security and load balancing purposes:

• __cflb - Load balancing cookie (session duration)
• __cf_bm - Bot management cookie (30 minutes)
• cf_clearance - Security challenge cookie (if triggered)

These cookies are considered "strictly necessary" for the website to function securely and are exempt from consent requirements under GDPR Article 6(1)(f).

Third-Party Services

We use Google Fonts to display custom typography. When you load our website, your browser connects to Google's servers to download font files. Google may log your IP address during this process.
