The short version
Wyre News has no accounts, no logins and no newsletter. It never asks you for your name, your address or your email, and it has nowhere to store them because there is nothing to type them into. What it does have is ordinary web analytics and, on pages that carry them, advertisements served by a third party. Both involve cookies and both are described below.
What is collected
- Server and network logs. This site is served through Cloudflare, which records the usual request data: IP address, user agent, the page requested, timestamps and coarse location derived from the IP. That is standard infrastructure logging, used for delivery, caching and abuse prevention.
- Analytics. Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics run on every page. They record which pages were viewed, roughly where in the world the request came from, what referred it, and what device and browser were used. Analytics data is read in aggregate to see which desks people actually read. It is not used to build a profile of you and it is never sold.
- Advertising. Where advertisements appear, they are served by Google and its advertising partners. Google may use cookies and similar identifiers to serve and measure those ads, including ads based on your prior visits to this or other sites.
- Fonts. Page typefaces load from Google Fonts, which means your browser makes a request to a Google-operated domain and that request carries your IP address. The site is built to stay readable if that request is blocked.
There is no collection beyond this. Wyre operates no mailing list, sets no first-party identifier of its own, and runs no tracking pixel other than the analytics tag named above.
Advertising cookies and your choices
Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and other sites on the internet.
You can opt out of personalized advertising from Google at Google Ads Settings, and out of third-party vendor cookies more broadly at optout.aboutads.info. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser. Nothing here breaks if you do: the pages are static HTML and the headlines are rendered server-side.
If you are in the EEA, the UK or Switzerland
Visitors from those regions are shown a consent notice before any non-essential cookie is set, and analytics and advertising run only on the choice made there. You can reopen that notice and change your answer at any time. The legal bases relied on are consent for analytics and advertising, and legitimate interest for the infrastructure logging needed to deliver and defend the site.
You have the right to access, correct, delete or port your personal data, to object to or restrict processing, and to complain to your data protection authority. Requests go to abby@floofdigital.com. Note that Wyre holds no account record for you, so in most cases the honest answer to an access request is that there is nothing on file beyond logs that expire on their own.
If you are in California
Wyre does not sell personal information for money. Under the CCPA as amended, the use of advertising cookies described above may nonetheless count as sharing personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. You can opt out through the Google Ads Settings link above, by enabling Global Privacy Control in your browser, which this site honors, or by writing to the address above. You also have the right to know, to delete, to correct, and not to be discriminated against for exercising any of it.
Links to other sites
Nearly every link on Wyre leaves Wyre. Once you click a headline you are on the publisher's site under the publisher's privacy policy, not this one. Outbound story links carry the normal referrer, which tells the publisher the visit came from Wyre. That is deliberate: it is how a newsroom sees the traffic Wyre sends it.
Children
Wyre is a trade news service written for working adults. It is not directed to children under 13 and does not knowingly collect anything from them.
Changes
Material changes to this policy show up in the date below. The page is versioned in the site's source history, so a change here is a matter of record rather than a claim.
