Effective June 24, 2026
Dissenteris owned and operated by Gab AI Inc, a company located in Pennsylvania, USA (“we,” “us,” or “our”). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit https://dissenter.com, subscribe to our newsletter, or interact with the site, and how we use it.
Information we collect
Information you provide
If you subscribe to The Dissenter Brief newsletter, we collect your email address and may record how you signed up (for example, footer, modal, or another source label). You can unsubscribe at any time via the link in any email or on our unsubscribe page.
Automatically collected information
When you browse the site, we and our service providers may collect:
- Analytics data — pages viewed, referring URLs, approximate location derived from IP address, browser type, device type, and operating system, collected through our analytics service.
- First-party page metrics — on article pages, we may log the page path and a timestamp to a server-side file for internal readership statistics. This does not include your name or email.
- Server logs — standard web-server records such as IP address, request time, and user agent, retained for security and operations.
Cookies and similar technologies
We use cookies, local storage, and similar technologies for analytics and advertising.
- Analytics cookies — our analytics service may set first-party cookies to distinguish visitors and sessions, and to measure page views and link clicks.
- Advertising partners — when enabled, third-party ad networks (including Google AdSense) may set cookies or use similar identifiers to serve and measure ads. Those partners have their own privacy practices.
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect site functionality or ad delivery. Your browser may also offer a “Do Not Track” signal; we do not currently respond to DNT signals in a uniform way across all services.
Third-party services
We rely on third parties that may process data on our behalf or as independent controllers:
- Analytics — site usage measurement and link tracking.
- Advertising partners — programmatic and display advertising (including Google AdSense when configured).
- Share links — article share buttons link to third-party platforms (Gab, X, Facebook, Reddit). Those platforms apply their own policies when you visit them.
We do not sell your personal information for money. Advertising partners may use cookies and similar technologies for interest-based advertising as permitted by law and their own policies.
How we use information
We use collected information to:
- Publish and improve Dissenter and its articles;
- Send the newsletter to subscribers who opted in;
- Measure traffic, readership, and ad performance;
- Protect the site against abuse and maintain security;
- Comply with legal obligations.
Retention
Newsletter addresses are kept until you unsubscribe or we remove inactive records. Analytics and server logs are retained for a limited period appropriate to their purpose, then deleted or aggregated. Exact retention periods may vary by system.
Your choices
- Newsletter — unsubscribe via email links or /unsubscribe.
- Cookies — manage or delete cookies in your browser.
- Advertising cookies — Google provides opt-out tools for personalized advertising at adssettings.google.com.
Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights (access, correction, deletion, or objection). To exercise them, contact us at [email protected].
Children
Dissenter is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.
International visitors
We are based in Pennsylvania, United States. If you access the site from outside the U.S., your information may be processed in the U.S. or other countries where our providers operate.
Changes
We may update this policy from time to time. The effective date at the top will change when we do. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
