Imagining a Better Tomorrow

Cookies & Privacy Policy

At Speculative Future Magazine, we believe that privacy is not just a legal checkbox — it’s a matter of respect.

Data privacy is a core value across all IGP Media platforms. We go out of our way to avoid third-party tracking. No Google Analytics. No Facebook Pixel. No surveillance capitalism — just a respectful, transparent digital experience.

Effective date: September 2025

At Speculative Future (“we,” “us,” or “our”), accessible from https://speculativefuture.com, protecting your privacy is one of our top priorities. This policy outlines how we collect, use, and safeguard your information — including our minimalist, essential-only approach to cookies.
