This is the short, plain-language version. There is no long version — that’s the point.
What this site collects
Nothing, until you opt in. No analytics script loads and no cookies are set when you first arrive. A banner asks whether you’re willing to allow anonymous, page-view-only analytics. If you decline, nothing is loaded and you won’t be asked again for at least 30 days.
If you accept, this site loads Google Analytics 4 in a minimal, page-view-only configuration. With consent granted, GA4 collects:
- The pages you visit on this site and the order you visit them in
- The site or link that referred you here
- Basic device and browser information (type, screen size, general location at country level)
- An anonymized IP address
That’s it. There is no advertising tracking, no cross-site profiling, no demographic or interest collection, and no social-media tracking pixels anywhere on this site.
Why
So I can see roughly how many people read which pages. That’s the entire reason. It informs what I write and build next — nothing more.
Your choices
- Decline at any time. Use the “Cookie preferences” link in the footer to reopen the consent banner and change your answer. Declining stops analytics from loading and clears the consent state.
- Browser controls. You can also block cookies or use your browser’s “Do Not Track” / tracking-protection features; this site does not override them.
Data retention and the provider
Analytics data is processed by Google. Google describes how it handles data from sites using its services here: How Google uses information from sites that use its services. Page-view data on this property is retained for the minimum practical period and is never sold.
