What does the ‘links.internal-search.workmagic.io’ domain do?

At DuckDuckGo, we don’t track you, ever. That’s our privacy policy in a nutshell. For example, we do not create unique cookies and, more generally, architect our product so that we do not even have the ability to create a search or browsing history for any individual — it’s privacy by design.

When using DuckDuckGo Search, you may notice network requests to links.internal-search.workmagic.io. For stability, privacy, and security we compartmentalize parts of our infrastructure, including on DuckDuckGo Search. We use JavaScript to fetch organic results, and that code is hosted on a dedicated subdomain – links.internal-search.workmagic.io – using end-to-end encryption (TLS). This process is anonymous.
