Eclectis channel network (·.eclectis.channel) · last updated May 2026

Eclectis publishes a network of topic channels at <channel>.eclectis.channel. You can read any channel without an account and without telling us who you are. This page explains the limited data involved when you do.

Reading is anonymous

We don't ask readers to sign up, sign in, or hand over personal information to read a channel. We don't build advertising profiles about you, and we don't sell data.

What we measure

To understand which stories are useful, a channel records anonymous, aggregate engagement — that a story was shown and whether it was clicked — tied to a random identifier stored in your browser, not to your identity. We also use privacy-respecting site analytics to count visits and pages. None of this identifies you personally.

Cookies & advertising

Channels may display ads served by Google AdSense. Google and its partners use cookies and similar technologies to serve and measure ads, and — depending on your settings — may use prior visits to this and other sites to show relevant ads. You can review and control this at Google Ads Settings and opt out of personalized advertising via aboutads.info. Google's use of advertising cookies is governed by the Google advertising policies.

Who processes data for us

• · Google — advertising (AdSense) and site analytics.
• · Vercel — hosting and content delivery.
• · Supabase — the database behind the channels.
• · Anthropic — the language model the curation engine calls to score and summarise stories (no reader data is sent).

Links out

Channels link to original sources across the web. Once you follow a link, that site's own privacy practices apply.
