We use one optional cookie, an optional email subscription service, and no advertising or profiling. This page explains exactly what we store, why, and how to control it. Last updated: 17 May 2026.
Who we are
The Daily Edition is an AI-curated journalism briefing published at thedailyedition.news. We are an independent project with no advertising, no sponsored content, and no data-sharing agreements with third parties.
What we store in your browser
We use one optional cookie (de_vid, set by our analytics tool, 90 days, first-party) and one localStorage entry (de_analytics_consent, to remember your consent choice). We use no third-party cookies, no tracking pixels, and no advertising technology.
What happens if you accept
We set the de_vid cookie containing a random anonymous identifier. This lets our self-hosted analytics tool (Umami) count returning browsers. The cookie cannot identify you personally.
What happens if you decline
We do not set any cookie and do not load any analytics script. No data is collected. You see the exact same edition as everyone else.
Email notifications
If you subscribe to receive daily email notifications, we collect your email address and store it with our email service provider, Brevo (formerly Sendinblue). Brevo is an EU-based company with servers in France and Germany, fully GDPR compliant.
Your email address is stored solely for sending you a daily notification when a new edition is published. The email contains a summary of today's edition (the reading arc and card titles) with a link to the website. We do not track email opens or link clicks beyond standard delivery metrics (delivered/bounced).
We will never share your email address with third parties, use it for advertising, or send you anything other than the daily edition notification. You can unsubscribe at any time via the unsubscribe link in every email. Upon unsubscription, your email address is removed from our subscriber list.
The legal basis for processing your email address is your explicit consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR). The signup form uses double opt-in: after entering your email, you receive a confirmation email and must click a link to activate your subscription.
Brevo's GDPR documentation: brevo.com/company/gdpr.
Analytics tool
We use Umami, an open-source analytics tool, self-hosted on our own server. No data leaves our infrastructure. No data is shared with any company.
Third-party services
We use Brevo (EU-based) for email notifications if you subscribe, and Google Fonts for typography. No Google Analytics, no Facebook Pixel, no advertising networks, no data brokers, no CDN-based analytics, no social media tracking scripts.
Legal basis
All analytics processing and email subscription are based on your explicit consent, as required by Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive.
