This is a personal, non-commercial blog. There are no ads and no third-party analytics or tracking scripts. The site does keep its own count of visits, explained below.
What gets collected
- Comments: the name, email address, and comment you submit, plus your IP address and browser user-agent (used only to filter spam). Your email is never shown publicly. Comments are held for approval before they appear.
- Contact form: the name, email address, and message you send. It’s used only to reply to you.
- Visit counts: the site counts its visitors and page views with Koko Analytics, which runs on this site’s own server and shares nothing with anyone. It sets no cookies. So that one person isn’t counted twice in a day, it mixes your IP address and browser type with a random value that changes every night and keeps only the scrambled result, which is deleted at midnight. Koko never saves your IP address itself. What’s kept is totals: how many people viewed each page, and which websites linked here.
- Cookies: if you leave a comment, you can choose to save your name and email in a cookie so you don’t have to retype them. No other cookies are set for visitors.
Service providers
The site is served through Cloudflare, which processes basic request data (such as IP address) to deliver the site and protect it from abuse. Comment avatars may be loaded from Gravatar using a hashed version of the commenter’s email address.
