This site is built to collect as little as possible about the people who read it. There is no advertising on Kurdpa, and no advertising or social-network trackers are loaded on these pages.

Reading the site

We count article views so we know which reports are being read. Counting is anonymous and aggregated by day: a view adds 1 to a per-article, per-day total. No IP address, no browser fingerprint, no identifier and no reader profile is stored, and there is no cross-site tracking.

Newsletter

If you subscribe, we store the email address you give us and the language you chose — nothing else. It is used only to send the newsletter, it is never sold or shared, and you can ask us to delete it at any time.

Embedded video

Videos hosted on third-party platforms do not load until you click play. Until then no request reaches that platform and it sets no cookies. Once you click, that platform’s own privacy policy applies.

Technical logs

As with any web server, our hosting provider keeps short-lived technical logs for security and abuse prevention. We do not use them to build reader profiles.

Sources at risk

If you are sending us information and your safety depends on it, do not rely on this website. Use the secure tip line on the contact page instead.
