Privacy & Cookies Policy

We collect only the data needed to deliver our journalism and newsletters, and we never sell reader information. This policy explains what we collect, why, and the controls you have.

Last updated July 11, 2026

Information we collect

  • Account & newsletter data — the email address you provide when subscribing to The Daily Dose.
  • Usage data — pages viewed and approximate region, collected via privacy-respecting analytics to understand what our readers find useful.
  • Technical data — browser type and device information needed to serve the site correctly.

How we use information

  • To deliver and improve our journalism and newsletters.
  • To understand which topics matter most to our readers.
  • To maintain the security and performance of the site.

Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use a limited set:

  • Essential cookies — required for the site to function, such as remembering your theme (light/dark) and interface preferences.
  • Analytics cookies — help us understand aggregated usage. These are configured to minimise identification.
  • Preference cookies — remember choices such as your sidebar and widget layout.

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. Disabling essential cookies may affect how parts of the site behave.

Your choices

  • You can unsubscribe from any newsletter with one click using the link in each email.
  • You can request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data by emailing contact@thehealthandcare.com.

Data sharing

We do not sell reader information. We share data only with vetted service providers (such as our email and hosting infrastructure) strictly to operate the site, and only to the extent necessary.

Security

We use industry-standard measures to protect data in transit and at rest. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to safeguard your information.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by the "last updated" date above. Questions? Contact contact@thehealthandcare.com.
