At Sovereign Magazine, we prioritize your privacy and are dedicated to protecting your personal data. The internet is increasingly only benefiting a select a few at the expense of all other users and we believe this system is fundamentally unfair.
As an independent publisher, we firmly reject participation in these practices and we have chosen to stand against it.
We have eliminated all third-party services, including advertising and traditional analytics platforms. Our decision to forgo ad revenue reflects our commitment to safeguarding your privacy and maintaining a secure online environment for our users.
Our Practices in Detail
Cookies:
We use a single cookie on our site, which is stored locally on your device when you agree to our cookie policy.
This cookie is temporary and lasts only 1 hour. It does not collect personal data but is necessary for ensuring your consent is recorded. We've set a one hour expiry limit to let you browse our site without having to constantly dismiss out cookie notice whenever you navigate to a new page.
Analytics:
While we still collect analytics to understand and improve our website’s performance, we no longer use Google Analytics due to its cross-web tracking practices.
Instead, we utilize a self-hosted, privacy-first analytics solution that does not collect or use your personal data.
The analytics data we receive is anonymized and focuses on real user monitoring (RUM) to understand how visitors experience our site. This ensures that your privacy is maintained while allowing us to improve our website.
External Links:
Once you leave our website by following an external link, certain information will be passed along, such as that you have been referred there by us. We have no control over how any third-party website will track you, and their privacy practices may differ from ours.
Affiliate Links:
We use affiliate links as a revenue stream, which is the least privacy invasive method we can practically rely on. When you follow an affiliate link for a product or service you find on our site, parameters within the link will allow an advertiser to track that you came from our website. However, no other information about you is passed along.
If you make a purchase of a product or service through our link, we may earn a commission. This helps us sustain our operations without compromising your privacy.
Your privacy is important to us, and we appreciate your support in maintaining an ad-free and data-protected environment.
Ways to support
You can help by sharing stories you read on our site or by buying us a coffee. Your support enables us to continue providing quality content without compromising on privacy.

When you’re running a business, you’re always going to want to make sure that things are going well. Yet, that’s not always that easy to do. Sometimes, you may feel as if you just have too much to do or that you’re struggling. And this is nothing to feel bad about. It happens. And most of the time, it means that you’re doing something right. In fact, you may find that you are struggling because things are going well and you just cannot stretch yourself so thin any more. And so, when that’s the case, it’s a great idea for you to consider the different support that you might need.
It’s safe to say that every business is unique and the things that you need will be different to the next business. But if you want to keep your business running and your customers happy, it’s good to get the support you need. And one of these options might be it.
No ads. No tracking.
We don’t run ads or share your data. If you value independent content and real privacy, support us by sharing.
To begin with, you may want to consider the kind of financial support that you need. If your company is growing, then maybe you’re not really sure what you need to do to manage everything that you need to do. Hiring an accountant or bookkeeper could be perfect for you here.

Consulting Support
From here, you may even find that your business needs an expert consultant. Maybe you don’t have the knowledge or expertise in a set area yourself? When that’s the case, make sure that you’re sourcing the companies, such as Scott Robert , or people that can help you here. Rather than trying to do something yourself that you may not do correctly, it’s always best to get a consultant on board.
Maybe you’re swamped with admin work? If this is the case then maybe you need to hire someone to take all of this on? Or look to outsource it? When that’s the case, you’ll find that it’s a great idea for you to hand this job over and free your time up for more important tasks.
Operational Support
From here, maybe it’s that you need some operational support? It could be that you don’t have all of the time or capacity to carry out the day-to-day operational duties of the business. When that’s the case, it’s a great idea to try and get some support here. Maybe it would be better to outsource your customer service ? Or hire extra help to ensure that you have the output you need? You may find that this makes such a difference.
Marketing Support
Finally, you may find that you need to get some marketing support too. Do you have all of the ideas that you need to bring your marketing alive? Do you have the skills and experience to elevate your campaigns? If not, you might want to get some support with this. Working with experts can really help you to bring your marketing alive. This can be particularly a good option if you don’t have the time to dedicate to it.
