Privacy
Effective: 23 May 2026
Caissly is an editorial chess publication. It does not run user accounts, it does not run advertising, it does not embed third-party trackers, and it does not profile its readers. The list below is the entire data practice of the site.
What we collect
- Server logs. Our hosting provider, Cloudflare, retains standard request logs for each page view (IP address, timestamp, user agent, URL). These logs are used to operate the site, monitor uptime, and defend against abuse. We do not link them to any personal identity and we do not export them.
- Privacy-friendly analytics. We may operate Cloudflare Web Analytics, which counts page views without using cookies or building visitor profiles. It does not work across other sites.
What we do not collect
- We do not set tracking cookies.
- We do not run advertising or ad-related code.
- We do not embed Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, TikTok, or similar.
- We do not sell or share data with third parties.
- We do not have user accounts, sign-in, or subscriptions on v1.
Third-party links
Articles may link out to external sites — Lichess game records, FIDE, official tournament pages, ChessBase, The Week in Chess, and so on. Those sites have their own privacy practices, which we do not control.

Changes
If our practices change, we will revise this page and update the effective date above. There is no separate mailing list to notify because we do not have one.
