Privacy policy

tl;dr: I’m trying not to track individual people, and I’m trying to protect you from being tracked by others.

I record basic, anonymised data about visits to the website. Neither my server logs nor my visitor statistics record anything that might allow me to track or identify individuals. In particular, I don’t store your IP address or User-Agent header.

This means I could, for example, see that 100 people read a post, but I can’t see (a) who those 100 people were nor (b) if you were one of them.

I don’t share this data with anybody else. I don’t use any analytics frameworks that share data with other companies (e.g. Google Analytics, Piwik, or Fathom).
If you subscribe to my newsletter, I only share your email address with Buttondown, so they can send you emails on my behalf. I don’t share your email address with anybody else, and I’ll only use it to send you my newsletter. You can unsubscribe whenever you like.
A small number of articles embed YouTube videos. I use the youtube-nocookie.com domain, which reduces the amount of tracking from YouTube.
My websites don’t use any cookies.
