Privacy
Short version: I collect nothing about you.
No analytics. No Google Analytics, no Plausible, no Cloudflare Web
Analytics. I do not know how many people read this, which posts land, or
where you came from. I write it anyway.
No cookies. Not one. Open DevTools and look: the site sets nothing,
stores nothing in localStorage, registers no service worker. There is no
consent banner because there is nothing to consent to.
No third-party scripts. Every file this page loads comes from this
domain. No fonts from Google, no embedded widgets, no social pixels. If a
post ever carries a YouTube embed, it stays blocked until you click it, and
then loads from youtube-nocookie.com.
No accounts, no newsletter, no comments. There is nothing to sign up
for, so there is no list your address could sit on.
What does happen
The site runs on a server I rent, behind Cloudflare. Both keep ordinary
request logs with IP addresses, the way every site on the internet does. I
do not read them and I build nothing from them. That is plumbing, not a
product.
If you email me, I have your email. It stays in my mailbox and nowhere else.
Search engines and language models
Both are welcome, deliberately. This is a notebook of what I am learning,
and it is worth more if it can be found and quoted. robots.txt allows the
usual crawlers, and the site publishes an llms.txt so language models can
read it cleanly.
Two exceptions: Bytespider and Amazonbot are blocked. Not on principle, they
are just aggressive and give nothing back.
That is the whole policy
No data, no cookies, no tracking. A notebook where I post my work, left open
to be read. Nothing more, nothing less.
