Privacy

TL;DR

I only share the bare minimum of details about you with the service providers I use to fulfill my commitments to readers and clients. For example, I’ll share your email address with the services I use to send out my newsletter. If you use a booking form on this site, the details you enter – like your email address – will be sent to my calendar service and then on to me.

I use Google Analytics on this site. I’ve set it up to ensure that it does not impinge on your privacy while still helping me to understand where visitor go and linger. Meaning, to the best of my knowledge, ability, and understanding, it only collects anonymized data.

Basis: permission and executing agreement

Cookies

This site uses Google Analytics to analyze its traffic. It sets a first party cookie to make this possible, meaning the cookie is set by this site.

Google Analytics configuration

I’ve set up Google Analytics to protect your privacy as best as possible while still giving me the information I need to optimize the relevance of this site’s content to its readers.

To be precise, Google Analytics 4 (GA4) is set:

  • NOT to collect granular location and device data. It will collect region and country-level metadata in order to support regional privacy policies and region-based Analytics settings.
  • NOT to allow for ads personalization.
  • to retain user-level and event-level data for a maximum of 2 months after your last activity on this site (the minimum possible in GA4 configuration). Aggregated (and therefore anonymized) data is retained indefinitely.
  • NOT to use Google Signals — in other words Google Signals data collection is disabled even if you’re signed in to a Google account and you’ve allowed Google to personalize ads.
  • to report identities using observed data only to identify visitors — as you don’t have to create a user account to use this site and Google Signals has been disabled, this means GA only recognizes you as the same visitor by the id of the device you use to visit this site.
