Privacy & Cookie Policy
What this site collects, what cookies it uses, and how to delete your data.
What this site collects
This is a small, mostly-static site. It collects very little, on purpose:
- Analytics (if enabled): anonymous page-view statistics via Google Analytics 4, including pages visited, approximate country, device type, and referral source. IP addresses are anonymized. Analytics only runs after you accept the cookie banner — nothing loads before you consent.
- Newsletter signups: your email address, stored by the newsletter provider (Buttondown). I use it only to send the newsletter. You can unsubscribe with one click at any time.
- Contact form: submitted details are delivered to the site's email inbox and deleted when no longer needed.
I do not sell data. I do not show third-party ad networks. I do not build profiles of visitors beyond aggregate analytics.
Cookies
| Cookie | Purpose | Stored by |
|---|---|---|
pp-consent-v1 |
Remembers whether you accepted or declined analytics | This site (localStorage, not a cookie) |
_ga, _ga_* |
Google Analytics usage statistics | Google — only after you accept |
You can delete cookies and the consent setting at any time in your browser settings. Declining analytics doesn't change anything about how the site works.
Affiliate links
Some outbound links are affiliate links. When you click one, you leave this site and the destination site may set its own cookies. We may receive a commission if you make a purchase, at no extra cost to you. Affiliate partners do not receive any personal data about you from this site; the referral is identified only by the link's parameters (for example utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign).
