Privacy policy
We don't track you
A site about privacy should respect yours. This policy explains, in plain English, what happens to your data when you read Tor Browser Guide. The short version: we collect as little as technically possible, and we don't use any of it to follow you around.
Effective date: October 7, 2026
Summary
The short version
No analytics. No advertising. No tracking pixels. No accounts, sign-ups, or comment forms. No data sold or shared for marketing. Our fonts and scripts are served from our own server, not from Google or other third parties. The only data processed is what any website needs to deliver pages and stay protected from attacks.
What we collect
-
Server logs
Like nearly every website, our web server automatically records basic technical information about each request: IP address, date and time, the page requested, browser type (user agent), and the referring page. These logs are used only to keep the site running and secure, such as diagnosing errors or blocking attacks, and are kept for a limited time. If you read this site through the Tor Browser, the IP address we see belongs to a Tor exit relay, not to you.
-
Nothing else
We don't run analytics tools (no Google Analytics or similar), we don't use advertising or social-media tracking, and we don't ask for your name, email, or any other personal information.
Security and delivery: Cloudflare
Our site is delivered through Cloudflare, a content delivery
and security network. Cloudflare processes requests to the site so pages
load quickly and attacks are filtered out. As part of its bot protection,
Cloudflare may set a strictly necessary security cookie such as
__cf_bm, which helps tell people apart from automated bots.
According to Cloudflare, it expires after 30 minutes of inactivity and is
not used to track you across websites. Cloudflare may also collect
network error reports to monitor reliability. You can read
Cloudflare's privacy policy
for details.
Cookies
We don't set any cookies ourselves. The only cookie you may receive is the strictly necessary security cookie from Cloudflare described above. Because there are no advertising or analytics cookies, there's no cookie banner to click through. You can block or delete cookies in your browser at any time, and the site will still work.
Download buttons and outside links
Our “Download Tor Browser” buttons pass through a simple redirect on our server that sends you straight to the official torproject.org/download page; it records nothing beyond the normal server log entry. We also link to other sites, such as the Tor Project. Once you leave our site, that site's own privacy policy applies.
Children, changes, and your rights
This site is not directed at children and doesn't knowingly collect personal information from anyone. Because we don't hold profiles or accounts, there is generally no personal data of yours for us to access, correct, or delete beyond short-lived server logs. If we ever change how data is handled, we'll update this page and the effective date above.
