Privacy policy

This page explains what information The Defense Log collects when you visit https://thedefenselog.com, and how it is used.

What we collect

Server logs. Like every website, our server records basic technical details of each visit: IP address, browser type, the page requested and the time. These logs are used only for security and to fix problems, and are deleted after a short period.
Advertisement clicks. When you click an advertisement, we count the click. We do not record who clicked.
Emails you send us. If you write to us, we keep your message and address so we can reply.

Readers do not need an account, and we do not set cookies for readers. Cookies are used only when our staff log in to manage the site.
We do not use third-party analytics or advertising trackers, and we do not sell or share personal information.
The site’s fonts and images are served from our own server, so visiting the site does not send your details to other companies.

Our stories link to the sources we used. Those sites have their own privacy policies.

You can ask us what information we hold about you, or ask us to delete it, by writing to editor@thedefenselog.com.

If we add analytics, an advertising network or a newsletter, we will update this page before doing so. This page was last updated in November 2026.
