Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 15, 2026 — framework-feed.io

Short version: we collect minimal data, we don't sell it, and you can ask us to delete it. The long version is below.

Who we are

Framework Feed is an independent tech intelligence publication operated at framework-feed.io. For privacy inquiries: privacy@framework-feed.io.

What data we collect

Data you give us directly

Contact form submissions — if you email us. Used to respond to your inquiry only.

Data collected automatically

IP address — logged by our server for security purposes. Truncated to /24 subnet before any analytics processing (last octet removed). Retention: 30 days in server logs.
Page views and navigation — which articles you read, how long you spend on them, scroll depth. Collected via our first-party analytics system only if you consent to analytics cookies.
Referrer URL — how you arrived at the site (e.g., from Google, a social media link, or direct). Used to understand traffic sources. Collected regardless of consent as it is a normal part of HTTP requests.
Browser and device type — for layout optimisation. Aggregated only, no individual fingerprinting.
UTM parameters — campaign tracking parameters in URLs. Collected to measure the effectiveness of our own promotional activities.

Cookies

We use the following cookie categories. You can update your preferences at any time using the cookie banner or by clicking here.

Strictly Necessary

Required for basic site function. Includes: session identifiers, consent preference storage (ff_consent_v1). These cannot be disabled.

Analytics

Used to understand how visitors use the site. If enabled, we collect pseudonymous session data via our own first-party collector at /api/events. Data is stored in our own analytics database and is not shared with third parties. Google Analytics 4 is also loaded if you consent — data is subject to Google's privacy policy and stored on Google infrastructure. Google Analytics is configured with IP anonymization and consent mode v2.

Marketing

Only enabled with your explicit consent. May include Meta Pixel (Facebook/Instagram advertising) and Google Ads conversion tracking. These allow us to show relevant ads to you on those platforms and measure the effectiveness of any advertising campaigns we run. Data processed by these tools is subject to Meta's and Google's respective privacy policies.

Personalization

Enables article recommendations based on your reading history on framework-feed.io only. No cross-site tracking. Data is stored locally in your browser (localStorage) and is not transmitted to our servers without your consent.

Advertising

Framework Feed displays advertisements to support our journalism. We use Adsterra as our primary ad network. By default, Adsterra serves contextual ads — matched to the content of the article you're reading, not to your personal profile. Behavioral targeting (ads targeted to you based on your browsing history) is only enabled if you consent to Marketing cookies.

Adsterra's privacy policy is available at adsterra.com/privacy.
