Privacy, subscriptions & cookies
Baz Security News is a free, public cybersecurity wire. This page explains what we collect, what each subscription sends and how often, and every cookie or browser storage key the site uses.
What we collect
Reading the site requires no account and no personal details. If you subscribe, we store the email address you give us, your chosen cadence and your filter preferences (categories, severities, source tiers, keywords). If you use Domain Watch, we store the domain or brand you asked us to monitor alongside your alert email.
We keep delivery logs (message ID, recipient, status, bounce reason) so we can tell whether an email actually arrived and can suppress addresses that hard-bounce. We do not sell, rent or share your address with third parties, and we do not use it for anything other than the emails you asked for.
What each subscription includes
You choose one cadence and your own filters at /subscribe. Every email carries a one-click unsubscribe link and honours it immediately.
Every dispatch matching your chosen categories, severities, source tiers and keywords, sent shortly after it lands in the wire.
A rolled-up digest of anything new in the last hour.
The 09:00 UK analyst morning briefing: executive summary, Priority 1/2/3 items ranked by criticality, actions list and sources.
The week's significant dispatches grouped by category and severity.
The monthly report: volume trends, category breakdown and the month's CVE roll-up.
The same coverage is published free on our Telegram channel; subscribing by email is optional. We never send advertising or sponsored mail to subscribers.
Cookies and browser storage
We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. The site relies mostly on first-party local storage, which never leaves your browser except where noted.
| Key | Type | Storage | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| baz.cookieConsent | Necessary | Local storage | Records your cookie choice so the banner isn't shown again. |
| baz.readingMode / baz.readingSize | Necessary (preference) | Local storage | Remembers reading mode and text size on the news wire. |
| sb-* auth token | Necessary | Local storage | Only set on the token-gated admin screens; keeps that session alive. Not used for public readers. |
| Anonymous usage measurement | Optional | Local storage / first-party | Aggregate page-view counts to see which coverage is useful. Only active if you choose Accept all. |
Choosing Necessary only keeps the first three rows and disables the optional measurement storage. You can change your mind any time: .
Retention and your choices
Subscription records are kept until you unsubscribe; after that the record is deactivated and the address is retained only on our suppression list so we don't mail you again by accident. Delivery logs are kept for troubleshooting and then aged out.
To access, correct or delete anything we hold, unsubscribe from any email or contact us and we'll action it.
Third parties
Articles link out to the original publishers; once you follow a link, that site's own policies apply. Emails are delivered through our transactional email provider, and the site and database are hosted on our cloud backend. Domain Watch lookups may query public reputation services for the domain you enter — no personal data is sent.
