Privacy on this site

Last updated September 22, 2026.

Back When Daily has no reader accounts or comment forms. Search and quiz answers are processed in your browser and are not submitted to us. Our sharing controls open your chosen service only when you use them.

Hosting and fonts

Cloudflare delivers this website and may process connection information, such as IP addresses and browser requests, to provide and secure its service. See Cloudflare’s privacy policy.

The site loads fonts from Google Fonts. Your browser contacts Google to retrieve those font files. See Google Fonts privacy information.

Links to other websites

Source links take you to other publishers. The Facebook share link opens Facebook only when you choose it; no Facebook tracking script is embedded here. An email link opens your own email application. Those services have their own privacy practices.

Audience measurement

Cloudflare Web Analytics provides aggregate information about page views, referring websites, countries, devices, and site performance. It does not use analytics cookies or track people across websites. See Cloudflare Web Analytics.

Optional Google Analytics

If you choose Allow analytics, Google Analytics uses cookies to measure visits, referring sources, approximate countries, page engagement, and clicks on sharing, newsletter, Facebook Follow, article-discussion, newsletter-form and related-story controls, printable-download links, plus quiz completion. We do not load Google Analytics before that choice. We disable advertising personalization and Google signals. Sharing-button counts measure clicks, not confirmed Facebook shares. Follow and newsletter counts measure clicks, not confirmed followers or subscribers. Printable-download counts measure clicks, not completed downloads or use of the pack. Quiz completion records the edition, without your answers or score. We do not send search text as a custom event.

Your choice is saved in your browser. Use Privacy choices in the footer to change it or withdraw permission. Withdrawal stops further Google Analytics collection and removes its cookies from this site. See Google’s privacy policy.

Newsletter

Newsletter subscriptions are handled by Substack when you follow our subscription link or open the embedded signup form. The form does not load until you choose to open it; opening it contacts Substack, which may process connection information under its own privacy policy. Email addresses entered there are submitted directly to Substack. We do not receive them through a website form or send them to Google Analytics. Substack processes your email address and subscription activity to deliver the newsletter. Unsubscribe using the link in any issue. See Substack’s privacy policy.

Advertising

We have applied to Google AdSense. Publisher verification tags and ads.txt do not themselves display ads or set advertising cookies. Advertising is not currently enabled. This notice and relevant consent controls will be updated before advertising scripts are activated.
