We are a security publication. It would be difficult to write credibly about tracking and data collection while running an ad stack that does exactly that. So:
- No behavioural tracking. We do not sell reader data or run cross-site tracking pixels.
- No intrusive formats. No pop-ups, no interstitials, no autoplay video, no layout shift.
- Clear labelling. Every commercial placement is unambiguously marked.
- No editorial influence. Advertisers get no input into coverage, no advance notice, and no review. We report on advertisers' incidents the same as anyone else's. See our editorial policy.
- We turn things down. We decline advertising for offensive tooling sold without vetting, for services that facilitate abuse, and for anything making claims we cannot substantiate.
