Privacy Policy

Analytics

This site uses Matomo Analytics without cookies. You don’t see a cookie consent banner because:

  • Tracking cookies are not used
  • The data is not used for any other purpose than analytics (compared to GA which uses it for other purposes and therefore always requires consent)
  • Visitors aren’t tracked across websites (compared to GA which does track visitors across many websites)
  • A user cannot be tracked across days within the same website (no user profiles can be generated when cookies are disabled)

Matomo provides more information here. Also, you can still opt out of Matomo below.

You may choose to prevent this website from aggregating and analyzing the actions you take here. Doing so will protect your privacy, but will also prevent the owner from learning from your actions and creating a better experience for you and other users.

What personal data is collected

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site the data shown in the comments form will be collected. The visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string (usually to help spam detection) will not be collected because comments are moderated.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Cookies

If you leave a comment you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Who I share your data with

No one.

How long I retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so I can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

Where I send your data

Nowhere. I don’t use, e.g., an automated spam detection service.
