Privacy Policy

What this site doesn't do

This site has no accounts, no sign-ups, and no forms that collect personal information. It doesn't ask you for your name, email address, or any other details, and nothing you browse here is sold or used for advertising. The only data collected is the technical, usage-level data described under Analytics below.

Analytics

This site uses two analytics services to understand how it's used and to improve it.

Google Analytics. This site uses Google Analytics 4, a service provided by Google LLC. It sets cookies in your browser (named _ga and _ga_followed by an identifier) that give your browser a random ID, so Google Analytics can recognise returning visitors and group page views into visits. Through these cookies and your browser's requests it collects information such as the pages you view, how long you stay, how you arrived (for example, a link or a search), the type of device, browser and operating system, your approximate location (country and city level), and your language. Your IP address is used to work out that approximate location and is not logged or stored by Google Analytics. This data is used only to produce aggregate reports about site traffic; it isn't used to identify you personally, and Google Analytics data isn't used for advertising on this site. Analytics data is kept for a limited time (no more than 14 months) and then deleted automatically.

Google processes this data on behalf of the site owner and may process it in countries other than your own, including the United States. For more on how Google handles data from sites that use its services, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.

Cloudflare Web Analytics. The site also uses Cloudflare Web Analytics to measure overall traffic and page load performance, such as page views, referring sites, country, and browser/device type. Cloudflare's service is privacy-first: it doesn't use cookies and doesn't track individual visitors across sessions or other websites.

Cookies and your choices

The only cookies this site sets are the Google Analytics cookies described above. You can opt out of Google Analytics in any of these ways:

• Install Google's Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, which stops the tracking code from sending data to Google Analytics.
• Block or delete cookies in your browser settings, or use a browser or extension that blocks analytics trackers. The site works the same either way.
• Turn on your browser's "Do Not Track" or Global Privacy Control setting, if it offers one, and use a browser or extension that honours it.

What is stored locally

A dark/light mode preference is saved in your browser's local storage. It stays on your device and is never sent anywhere.

Hosting logs

This site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages, which automatically logs standard technical data (IP address, browser type, request timestamp) for security and performance, as most web hosts do. This is separate from the analytics above.
