Last updated: March 2026
1. Overview
21m.news (“we”, “our”, “the site”) is an AI-generated cryptocurrency news platform. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that data. By using 21m.news, you agree to the practices described here.
2. Data We Collect
2.1 Analytics Data
We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors interact with the site. This includes:
- Pages visited and time spent
- Referring websites and search terms
- Device type, browser, and approximate geographic location (country/city level)
- Interactions such as clicks and scroll depth
GA4 uses cookies to distinguish users. IP addresses are anonymized. We do not enable Google Signals or cross-site tracking features.
2.2 Interaction Data
When you react to an article (useful / questionable / inaccurate / bookmark), we store aggregate counts tied to the article slug. No personally identifiable information is stored.
2.3 No Account Data
21m.news does not require registration. We do not collect names, email addresses, passwords, or payment information.
3. Cookies
We use the following cookies:
| Cookie | Purpose | Expiry |
|---|---|---|

| _ga_* | Google Analytics — maintains session state | 2 years |
| 21m_cookie_consent | Stores your cookie consent preference | 1 year (localStorage) |

You can decline analytics cookies at any time via the banner shown on your first visit. You may also clear cookies via your browser settings.
4. Third-Party Services

- Firebase / Google Cloud — database infrastructure. Data is stored in Google Cloud with access restricted to server-side processes only.
5. Data Retention
Google Analytics data is retained for 14 months (GA4 default). Aggregate article reaction counts are retained indefinitely as they contain no personal data. We do not sell or share any data with third parties for marketing purposes.
6. Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete data associated with your browser. Since we collect no account data, most requests can be fulfilled by clearing your browser cookies and localStorage. For analytics opt-out, use the cookie banner or install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
