Privacy
This page says exactly what this site collects, and what it does not.
Effective 25 July 2026.
Analytics
I use Google Analytics to see which essays get read. It sets cookies and is operated by Google, which processes the data in the United States. It does not run unless you agree to it. On your first visit you are asked; until you choose Accept, nothing is requested from Google at all. Declining costs you nothing — the site behaves identically either way, and you will not be asked again on that browser.
I also use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which is cookieless: it counts page views without storing anything on your device, without fingerprinting you, and without tracking you across other sites. Because it stores nothing on your device, it runs without a consent prompt.
The contact form
If you use the contact form, I receive the name, email address and message you type. It reaches me as email so I can reply. It is not stored on this website, not added to a mailing list, and not shared or sold.
The form is protected by Cloudflare Turnstile, an anti-spam check that runs in your browser to confirm you are not a bot. It is a Cloudflare service and loads only on the contact page.
Your appearance choice
The System / Light / Dark setting is saved in your own browser's local storage so the site remembers it next time. It stays on that device, is never synced, and is never sent anywhere.
Hosting
The site is served by Cloudflare, which processes requests — including IP addresses — in order to deliver pages. That processing is governed by Cloudflare's privacy policy.
What I don't do
No advertising, no ad networks, no cross-site tracking, no data sales, no user accounts, and no profiling. Nothing here builds a picture of you as an individual.
Questions
Ask through the contact form. If this page changes, the change will be posted here with a new effective date.
