PRIVACY & COOKIES

A clear look at your data.

This page explains the limited information NeonGrade uses to run the site and understand which stories are useful. Last updated: 27 September 2026.

What we collect

NeonGrade does not offer reader accounts or a newsletter sign-up at this stage. If you browse the site, our hosting and security providers may process basic technical information needed to deliver and protect the website, such as device, browser and request information.

Optional analytics

With your permission, NeonGrade uses Google Analytics to understand aggregate visits, page activity, approximate location, device and browser information. This helps us decide which editorial work is useful. We do not load Google Analytics until you choose “Accept analytics” in the privacy notice.

If you decline, NeonGrade will not load the Google Analytics tag. Your decision does not affect your ability to read the site.

Cookies and local storage

We use local storage to remember two choices on your device: your light/dark theme preference and your analytics choice. Analytics may set Google Analytics cookies only after you consent. You can remove local storage and cookies in your browser settings; doing so may cause the privacy notice to reappear.

Service providers

NeonGrade uses Vercel to host the site, Sanity to manage editorial content, and Google Analytics for optional analytics. Those services process information under their own terms and privacy documentation while acting within the services NeonGrade has chosen to use.

Your choices and requests

You can decline analytics at the privacy notice. For questions, correction requests or privacy requests, use the contact details on our Contact page. We will add a dedicated public inbox before this page is made public.

Important note

This plain-language summary is designed to explain NeonGrade’s current setup. It is not a substitute for tailored legal advice. We will update it before introducing reader accounts, a newsletter, advertising, affiliate links or a shop.
