This Privacy Policy explains what information The LLM News collects when you visit thellmnews.com, why we collect it, and the choices you have. It applies to this website and nothing else. By using the site, you accept the practices described here.
Information We Collect
Like most websites, we collect basic technical data when you visit. Your browser sends us your IP address, the pages you request, the time of your visit, the referring page, and your browser and device type. We collect this data automatically through server logs and analytics tools so we can keep the site running and understand what our readers find useful.
If you email us, we receive whatever you choose to put in your message, including your email address. We use that information to reply and nothing more. We do not build marketing lists from reader mail.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
Cookies are small files stored on your device. We use them for a few straightforward purposes:
- Essential cookies — required for core site functions such as remembering your cookie consent choice.
- Analytics cookies — help us see which articles are read and how readers move through the site. These come from Google Analytics, installed through Site Kit by Google.
- Advertising cookies — set by Google AdSense and its partners to personalize ads and measure ad performance.
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Some features may behave differently if you do.
Google Advertising
We use Google AdSense to show ads on this site. Google and its partners use cookies, including the DoubleClick cookie, to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website and other sites.
Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the internet. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You may opt out of a third-party vendor’s use of cookies for personalized advertising at About Ads.
Google’s own practices for ad personalization are described in its Advertising Technologies policy.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand aggregate traffic patterns: which articles are popular, where readers come from, and what devices they use. Google Analytics collects information anonymously and reports trends without identifying individual visitors. You can opt out of Google Analytics with the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
How We Use Information
- To operate and improve the website.
- To understand which stories readers value.
- To serve and measure advertising, including ads from third parties.
- To respond to emails, tips, and correction requests.
- To comply with legal obligations.
Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with service providers that help us run the site — hosting, analytics, advertising, and email — and only for those purposes. We may disclose information if the law requires it or to protect the rights, safety, and property of The LLM News, our readers, or the public.
Third-Party Links
Our articles link to external sites — model providers, research papers, company blogs. We do not control those sites or their privacy practices, so their policies apply once you leave ours. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of any site you visit.
Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete personal data we hold about you, and to object to or restrict certain processing. Residents of California and the European Economic Area have specific rights under the CCPA and GDPR respectively. To make a request, email us at [email protected]. We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law.
Children’s Privacy
This site is written for a general adult audience. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as our practices or legal requirements change. The latest version always lives on this page, and the date below reflects the most recent revision.
