Kalleigh Lane

Kalleigh Lane is the Managing Editor of All About Cookies, where she leads editorial strategy and sets quality standards for AAC's full content library. With seven years of professional editing experience across cybersecurity, tech, and finance, she oversees everything from product testing methodology and onboarding to editorial integrity and emerging verticals like video and social.

At AAC, Kalleigh has authored and edited more than 275 articles spanning data privacy, VPNs, antivirus software, ad blockers, identity theft protection, and password managers. She developed testing guidelines for every product category on the site, designed the star rating system used to evaluate and rank products, and established the quarterly retesting process to keep AAC's recommendations current and repeatable.

She has personally tested all types of products on the site, with extra emphasis on VPNs, ad blockers, and parental controls on Android and PC, and has shaped AAC's approach to translating complex regulatory frameworks — from GDPR to CCPA — into clear, actionable guidance for everyday readers.

Before joining AAC, Kalleigh developed the VPN rankings vertical at moneyGenius.ca from the ground up, building the category's editorial framework and evaluation criteria. Her approach to product evaluation is informed by a technical foundation that goes beyond editorial: she has completed college-level coursework in computer science and has hands-on experience building and configuring her own systems — a context that sharpens how she assesses the performance and protection claims security products make.

Kalleigh holds a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature from Mount Allison University and a Master of Arts in English Literature from the University of Toronto. She has been quoted by CTV News, The Globe and Mail, Winnipeg Free Press, and WCOS TV, and regularly follows the FTC and EFF to stay current on the regulatory and advocacy landscape shaping digital privacy.

When she's not building spreadsheets, you'll find Kalleigh gaming or listening to BTS with her husband and cats on the East Coast of Canada.
