Privacy

A small site with a small data footprint.

I use data to learn whether the writing reaches people—not to build advertising profiles. This page explains what the site can collect and the choices you control.

Website analytics

If you choose “Allow analytics,” this site loads Google Analytics 4. It can record page views and anonymous reading signals such as reaching 50% or 90% of an article, spending 60 active seconds with an article, clicking a newsletter prompt, opening a related post, following an external link, or using a share link.

Analytics is off until you opt in. Advertising storage, ad personalization, and Google Signals are disabled. I do not send your name, email address, article form input, or other directly identifying information to Google Analytics. Google may still process device, browser, approximate-location, and network information under its own terms. Read Google's privacy policy for details.

Newsletter subscriptions

Newsletter signup is provided by Substack. When you enter an email address in its embedded form, that information goes directly to Substack; it does not pass through this site's analytics. Substack controls its signup form, subscriber records, emails, and associated cookies under Substack's privacy policy.

Browser storage

The site stores two preferences in your browser: your light/dark theme and your analytics choice. If you allow analytics, Google Analytics may also set cookies beginning with _ga. Choosing “Disable analytics” below stops further analytics events from this site and removes accessible _ga cookies for this domain.
