Privacy policy

Last updated: 2026-10-18

The short version

This is a static reference site. There are no accounts, no sign-ups, no forms, and no advertising. We do not collect, store or sell personal information ourselves. We use Google Analytics to measure traffic, run in Google's consent mode: it sets cookies only if you choose Accept all in the consent prompt. If you choose Accept required, it sets none and sends only basic, cookieless page-view pings.

The consent prompt and consent mode

On your first visit a prompt asks you to choose before you continue, with two equal buttons:Accept required and Accept all. The site works fully with either. It uses Google's consent mode: the Google Analytics tag loads on every page, but every consent type starts out denied. Accept all grants analytics storage, so Analytics may set its cookies and measure your visit normally.Accept required keeps it denied: no analytics cookies are set, and the tag sends only cookieless pings (see "Hosting and analytics" below). This site shows no advertising, so the ad-related consent types (ad storage, ad user data, ad personalization) are denied for everyone and never granted. If your browser sends the Global Privacy Control signal, we treat it as Accept required and do not ask. Your choice is remembered in your browser so you won't be asked again, and you can change it at any time via Cookie choices in the footer of any page. Choosing Accept required after Accept all takes effect immediately and also deletes the Analytics cookies already set.

What the site stores on your device

One localStorage entry: your consent choice (granted or denied). It never leaves your browser on its own. If you chose Accept all, Google separately sets its own analytics cookies (e.g. _ga); if you chose Accept required, it sets none. You can clear any of this in your browser settings at any time.

Hosting and analytics

The site is served by Cloudflare Pages. Like any web host, Cloudflare processes standard request logs (IP address, user agent) to deliver the site and protect it from abuse — see Cloudflare's own privacy policy for how they handle that data. We use Google Analytics (measurement ID G-7023PB9VZE) to measure page views and traffic sources, in Google's consent mode. If you choose Accept all, Analytics sets cookies and measures your visit normally. If you choose Accept required, it sets no cookies, but because the tag still loads, it sends a small number of cookieless pings to Google: they carry no cookie or device identifier but can include the page address, the referrer, your browser's user agent and, as with any request to a server, your IP address, which Google uses for aggregated and modelled reporting. Per Google's own policies it may combine this data with information from other Google services. See Google's Privacy Policy and its consent mode and Analytics disclosures for exactly what is collected and how to opt out (e.g. the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on) — that covers Google's handling of the data, not just this site's use of it, and applies whether or not you accepted analytics cookies.

Embedded videos

Curated YouTube videos are shown as plain cards: nothing loads from YouTube until you click one. When you click, the video loads from youtube-nocookie.com, YouTube's reduced-tracking domain; at that point YouTube's own privacy policy applies.

External links

Links to news sources, SEC filings, TradingView, company sites and other third parties take you to sites with their own privacy practices, which we do not control.

Data about companies

The catalog contains information about companies, not individuals. Where a person is mentioned in a cited source, we link to the source rather than reproducing personal data.
