So with the privacy wars going on, some of you might be wondering what Yellow Optic is doing with this. Here is a summary.
Yellow Optic does not require personal information in order to browse its content. Reading shorts won't require you to put in your name, and there are no plans for anyone to have an account or have any form of mechanism that requires a surrender of personal information to be collected in order to access the full features of the site. If you wish, turning off cross-site tracking in your browser will not hamper your experience.
This does not extend to Yellow Optic pages on social media, however, those pages are under the policies dictated by the companies running those platforms.
This also does not mean that no personal information will be collected whatsoever. By default, all browsers conduct cross-site tracking - A mechanism that better allows sites to predict your interests through insight into past browsing history, which Yellow Optic could potentially be included. If you are browsing Yellow Optic through the Safari browser and no longer wish to allow cross-site tracking for all sites, click here to see the guide on how to disable it.
Yellow Optic also uses cookies to save cache data to ensure smooth experiences through distinct browsing sessions - such as the toggle state of the Dark Mode button - which its use is outlined in this brief disclosure.

As always, thank you for visiting Yellow Optic. And because we're not Mark Zuckerberg, we can respect your data like any normal person should. Yes, I'm talking to you, Zucc, you freak.
