This Cookie Policy explains how infosecrelations.com, operated by Ebenworks Private Limited (CIN: U62099DL2026PTC461045), uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, available at infosecrelations.com/privacy-policy.
What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They allow the site to remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferred settings or whether you have visited before. Cookies are widely used across the web to make sites function correctly and to help publishers understand how their content is being used.
Similar technologies, including web beacons and pixel tags, serve comparable functions and are covered by this policy wherever we refer to cookies.
Cookies We Use
We use cookies in three categories: strictly necessary cookies that the site cannot function without, analytics cookies that help us understand readership behaviour in aggregate, and third-party cookies placed by external services we use to deliver content or enable subscriptions.
Strictly necessary cookies. These cookies are essential for the website to operate and cannot be switched off. They do not store any personally identifiable information and are typically set in response to actions you take, such as loading a page or navigating between sections. Our website runs on Ghost Pro, which places session and security cookies necessary for stable site operation. Without these cookies, the site will not function correctly.
Analytics cookies. We use built-in Ghost analytics and may use additional privacy-respecting tools to measure aggregate traffic, understand which content resonates with our readership, and improve publication quality over time. These cookies track page views, referral sources, and approximate geographic distribution at an aggregated level. They do not track individuals across sessions or build personal profiles. No data collected through these cookies is shared with advertising networks or used for commercial targeting.
Third-party cookies. Certain third-party services integrated into or linked from our website may place their own cookies on your device. We do not control these cookies and are not responsible for them. The primary third-party services that may set cookies through your use of our Service are listed below.
Third-Party Services and Their Cookies
Substack. When you interact with newsletter subscription forms or visit our Substack-hosted newsletter at offensive.infosecrelations.com, Substack may place cookies on your device to manage your subscription session and measure email engagement. Substack's cookie practices are governed by Substack's Privacy Policy at substack.com/privacy.
LinkedIn. When you click through to our LinkedIn company page or interact with LinkedIn share buttons, LinkedIn may place cookies in accordance with LinkedIn's Cookie Policy. We do not embed LinkedIn tracking pixels directly on infosecrelations.com.
YouTube. Where we link to or embed video content hosted on YouTube, Google may place cookies associated with YouTube's video delivery infrastructure. Google's cookie practices are governed by Google's Privacy and Terms documentation at policies.google.com.
We recommend reviewing the cookie and privacy policies of each third-party service directly, as their practices may change independently of this policy.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You can manage, restrict, or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings. The major browsers provide the following options for cookie management.
In Google Chrome: Settings, then Privacy and Security, then Cookies and other site data. In Mozilla Firefox: Settings, then Privacy and Security, then Cookies and Site Data. In Safari: Preferences, then Privacy, then Manage Website Data. In Microsoft Edge: Settings, then Cookies and site permissions.
Disabling strictly necessary cookies will affect the ability of the site to function correctly. Disabling analytics or third-party cookies will not prevent you from reading our content.
You may also opt out of analytics tracking by enabling the "Do Not Track" signal in your browser, which our analytics configuration respects where technically supported.
Cookies and Newsletter Subscribers
If you are a subscriber to our newsletter via Substack, Substack may use cookies and email tracking pixels to measure open rates and link engagement within email editions. You can manage these preferences through your Substack subscriber settings at substack.com. We use this aggregated engagement data to understand which content serves our readers and do not use it to build individual behavioural profiles.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy as our technology, platforms, or applicable legal requirements change. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this page periodically, particularly if you have concerns about how cookies are used on this site.

Ghost setup note: Once all three pages are live, go back to the Privacy Policy and add a sentence in the Cookies section that reads: "For full details on how we use cookies, see our Cookie Policy at infosecrelations.com/cookie-policy." That cross-reference satisfies both Google and GDPR reviewers.
