LessCarbs is designed to be read without creating an account.
Your saved stories
When you save a story, its article identifier is stored locally in your browser. This reading list is not sent to an application database and does not sync between devices. Remove stories from your reading list or clear your browser’s site data to delete it.
Search and site assets
Search runs in your browser against a static article index. Search terms are not submitted to a search service. Our fonts, illustrations, styles, local search, and reading-list scripts are served from this site. Google Analytics is available on all pages after you allow analytics. Advertising pages also load Google’s AdSense and advertising consent-management scripts as described below.
Optional Google Analytics
With your permission, LessCarbs uses Google Analytics 4 to measure visits, page views, and engagement so we can understand which coverage readers find useful. The analytics tag is included on every page, including this privacy page, but the Google Analytics library and measurement requests are blocked until you choose “Allow analytics.” Declining does not restrict access to the site.
After you allow analytics, your browser sends Google technical information about the device and browser, the pages visited, the referring page, and engagement. Google processes IP addresses to derive approximate location. Analytics can use first-party cookies, including cookies whose names begin with _ga, to distinguish visits. We exclude query strings and fragments from the page and referrer addresses we configure for measurement, and we disable Google signals and ad-personalization signals in this installation. Reading-list contents and search input are not sent as custom analytics events.
Your analytics choice is stored in this browser for up to 180 days. Use the “Analytics preferences” button in the footer to change it. Withdrawing consent disables further Analytics measurement in that page, removes Analytics cookies available to this site, and applies the new choice on future page loads. This does not delete data already sent to Google. Advertising consent is managed separately by Google’s advertising consent message.

Advertising and cookies
LessCarbs uses Google AdSense to support the publication with display advertising on the homepage and article pages. Ads may begin appearing after Google approves the site and makes inventory available. Google and its advertising partners may use cookies, local storage, IP addresses, device identifiers, and information about your visits to this and other websites to serve, personalize, measure, and protect advertising. These requests send technical information directly from your browser to Google and its partners.
Learn how Google uses information from partner sites, review Google’s advertising technologies, or manage personalized advertising in My Ad Center. Where applicable, Google’s consent message offers consent, refusal, and options before personalized advertising. You can revisit your choices using the “Privacy and cookie settings” link that Google supplies on advertising pages. Blocking or refusing advertising does not restrict access to our articles.
This privacy page loads no AdSense ad tags or Google consent-message scripts, so you can read it before making an advertising choice.
Hosting and external links
Cloudflare hosts this public site and may process technical request information, including IP addresses and security signals, to deliver and protect it. See Cloudflare’s privacy policy. Links to outside sources open third-party websites with their own privacy practices. RSS readers may also process feed requests under their own policies.
No newsletter collection
The RSS feed does not require an email address. There is no mailing-list subscription form in this version of LessCarbs.
