Privacy

This is a personal site. There are no accounts, no logins, no comment threads, no newsletter, and nothing here is for sale. That keeps this page short and, more importantly, honest.

What this site collects

Analytics. Pages are instrumented with PostHog on its EU-hosted infrastructure (eu.i.posthog.com), so analytics data stays in the European Union. It records the ordinary things a web analytics tool records: which page was viewed, the referring page, approximate location derived from the IP address, and coarse device and browser information. I use it to see which articles and case studies people actually read. I do not use it to build advertising profiles, and I do not sell or share it with advertisers.

Error monitoring. Front-end errors are reported to Sentry so I can find out when something on the site breaks. An error report contains the URL, the browser, and a JavaScript stack trace.

Server logs. The site is served by Cloudflare Workers. Cloudflare processes requests and keeps its own short-lived edge logs as part of delivering and protecting the site.

What this site does not do

• No advertising, ad networks, or retargeting pixels.
• No selling, renting, or trading of any data about you.
• No accounts, so no passwords or profile data are stored.
• No third-party comment or chat widgets.
• No tracking of what you do on other people’s websites.

Embedded content

Some pages embed players from Bandcamp, SoundCloud, or YouTube, and some pages link out to LinkedIn, GitHub, and similar services. When a page embeds a third-party player, that third party can see the request and apply its own privacy policy and cookies. If that matters to you, block third-party frames in your browser — the rest of the page works fine without them.

Email

If you get in touch, your message lands in my ordinary email inbox. I keep correspondence for as long as it is useful and I don’t add anyone to a mailing list.

Your choices and your rights

Under the GDPR you may ask what personal data I hold about you, ask for a copy of it, or ask me to delete it. Analytics and error data are pseudonymous and not linked to a name, so identifying your own records usually means telling me roughly when and from where you visited. Ask anyway and I’ll do what I can.

You can opt out of analytics entirely by enabling your browser’s tracking protection or by sending a Global Privacy Control / Do Not Track signal — and, of course, by using an ad or tracker blocker.

Agents and automated clients

Crawling and reading this site with an automated client is fine and explicitly allowed; see /llms.txt for a map of the content and /robots.txt for crawl rules. Every page is also available as Markdown via Accept: text/markdown. Automated requests are logged the same way any other request is.

Changes and contact

If this policy changes, the updated version simply replaces this page — the edit history lives in public in the site’s Git repository. Questions, corrections, or requests: website@klokie.com.
