Privacy
Short version: I don’t track you. There are no analytics, no cookies, no advertising, and no third-party scripts on this site. I don’t know who you are, and I’d rather keep it that way.
The longer version, because “we value your privacy” is worth exactly nothing without specifics.
What this site doesn’t do
- No analytics. No Google Analytics, no Plausible, no Fathom, no Cloudflare Web Analytics. I have no idea how many people read this or which posts they read. I’ve decided I’m fine with that.
- No cookies. This site sets none. Nothing is stored in your browser.
- No third-party scripts. No embedded fonts from Google, no tag managers, no social widgets, no share buttons. Everything the site needs is served from this domain.
- No advertising. Nothing here is sponsored, affiliate-linked, or paid for by anyone.
- No accounts, no comments, no newsletter. There’s nothing to sign up for, so there’s nothing for me to hold.
What the host sees
This site is static files served by Cloudflare Pages. Like every web host, Cloudflare processes requests to deliver pages, which means it handles connection data — IP address, browser type, the page requested — as part of serving the site and protecting it from abuse. That happens at the infrastructure level. I don’t have a dashboard for it, I don’t review it, and I haven’t turned on any product that would collect or retain it for me.
If you’d rather not be seen by a CDN at all, that’s a reasonable position, and a VPN or Tor works fine here.
The address in the footer forwards through Cloudflare Email Routing to a Proton Mail account.
If you email me, I’ll have your message and whatever address you sent it from. I’ll keep it as long as it seems useful and I won’t share it, publish it, add it to anything, or use it for any purpose other than replying to you. If you’d like me to delete a message, ask and I will.
If you want to quote you in a post, I’ll ask first. If you write to me about something and specifically don’t want it repeated, say so and that’s the end of it.
Links out
I link to other sites — blogs, archives, articles, records. Once you follow a link you’re on someone else’s site under someone else’s rules, and I have no control over what they do. Some of them will track you. Most of the personal sites I link to won’t.
Embedded media
Where a post needs audio or video, I’ll link out rather than embed wherever I can. Embedded players from the big platforms load third-party code and track visitors whether they press play or not, and I’d rather not do that to you on my own page. If I ever do embed something, this page gets updated to say so.
Feeds
The RSS feeds are plain files. Fetching one tells me nothing — I don’t run feed analytics and there are no tracking pixels in the markup.
Changes
If any of this changes, I’ll update this page and note the date below. If the change is significant — if I ever add analytics, comments, or anything that collects data — I’ll write a post about it rather than quietly editing this page and hoping nobody notices.
Asking me things
If you want to know what I hold about you, the answer is almost certainly nothing unless you’ve emailed me. Ask anyway if you’d like; the address is in the footer.
