Privacy

What this site collects, which is very little: server logs, aggregate visit counts, and anything you choose to send me. No advertising tracker, no cross-site pixel, no third-party font request.

In short, this privacy policy is deliberately brief. The site collects very little, and everything it collects appears in the list below.

What this site collects

  • First, server and CDN logs. IP address, user agent, requested URL and timestamp, kept for security and diagnostics.
  • Second, anything you send me. If you email or message me, I keep that correspondence so I can answer it. I do not add you to a mailing list.

Two tools count visits, and both appear below. Cloudflare Web Analytics reports them in aggregate; Cloudflare states it uses no client-side state such as cookies or localStorage and does not fingerprint visitors. Ahrefs Web Analytics reports pages viewed, referrers, browser and device type, language, and country- and city-level location; Ahrefs states it is cookieless by default and does not store raw IP addresses. Beyond that there is no advertising tracker, no analytics cookie and no third-party font request. The home page shows publisher icons fetched from Google’s favicon service, which means Google receives your IP address and the address of that page when those icons load. Functional cookies may be set by the CDN for security and performance.
