Privacy & Trust
Cookie Policy
How ELPA SPACE uses cookies and local storage to run a fast, privacy-preserving media site without user tracking or profiling.
ELPA SPACE uses minimal, essential cookies and storage tokens to manage system performance and user preferences. We do not use advertising trackers, cookies for profiling, or third-party marketing tags.
ELPA SPACE is designed for privacy. We believe that a high-quality news website should not monetize reader attention through behavioral tracking. Therefore, we do not deploy advertising tracking tags, pixel tags, or profiling cookies on your browser.
Any performance analytics we run are processed server-side through anonymized log files. We do not use third-party analytics scripts that track you across other websites or build individual user profiles.
What Are Cookies
Cookies and local storage tokens are small data fragments saved on your device to help browsers remember site configurations, load times, and active choices. They can be temporary (session-based) or persistent (remaining until cleared).
Our Cookie Philosophy
We do not partner with behavioral ad networks or data brokers. The site remains fully readable without requiring you to consent to third-party cookies or cross-site tracking pipelines. Your reading habits are not compiled or sold.
Types of Storage Used
We use only essential and performance-related storage details:
Performance Analytics: We analyze server logs (access logs) to monitor server speed and traffic patterns. This data uses anonymized IP addresses and is stored securely on our server without linking to individual user accounts.
Interface Settings: We may use local storage to remember your theme preferences or layout adjustments if you choose to customize the site's default style.
Your Controls
You can control, restrict, or delete cookies and storage tokens through your browser settings. Deleting these settings will not lock you out of any pages, as ELPA SPACE remains fully accessible to all readers without accounts.
Trust Layer
Who, how, why, and evidence are visible by design.
Every article should show the named author and editor, with author pages explaining background, scope, and accountability.
The site discloses the editorial workflow, including where AI assistance can be used and where human verification is required.
ELPA SPACE exists to help readers understand AI infrastructure shifts, not to publish generic pages solely for search traffic.
Articles should expose their source trail through visible references and consistent citation fields in structured data.
