I found a handy site for taking notes, but everything it says about the privacy of this one:

"Anonymous by default, no adverts. We offer a high level of privacy for both writers and readers. You don't need to create an account to post something. There are no adverts on the entire page and we don't use any social media scripts. You can rest assured that information about your activity on the site will not be used by advertising companies or social media."

This is in the "About" section.

There is no information about what information the site collects about the user.

Sounds like either they’re just being lazy and trying to avoid generating a privacy policy, or they’re up to no good and trying to be vague on purpose. I lean towards the former.

If they don’t have ads, that means there would be no cookie tracking which is what I think they’re trying to explain. But if they have login available, they might still use cookies to remember who you are.

Privacy policies can be generated in a few minutes online. And nowadays with GDPR, you would think it’s a no brainer to properly let your users know what you’re collecting.
