Privacy Policy

Anonymized Tracking on Our Website

You may have noticed there is no cookie consent banner on our website. Don't worry, we are not breaking any privacy laws! Quite the opposite, we have disabled all analytics cookies in our Matomo tracking code out of respect for our users' privacy.

You are completely anonymous. You will not be tracked entering or leaving our website and as you move from page to page, we have no idea who you are. You are welcome!

Analytics that respect privacy - the Matomo way.

Now and again I may publish a short questionnaire asking you to give basic feedback on how you use the site, how you found it, which continent you are on. No obligation, obviously and that form will be anonymous too!

Newsletter privacy

We have also set up our website to not track subscribers to our newsletter.

It may come as a surprise to see how much information can be gleaned from a simple newsletter. I prefer to keep the communication channels open in a more humane way, like a contact form! If you ever have a minute to kill:

  • Let me know what you think of the content of the newsletter.
  • What else you would like to hear about?
  • What should we change or stop doing right now?

It is much easier to interpret an email with words than a statistic with no context.

You can contact me easily enough and I will respond promptly.

Thanks in advance.

This is a new one! An e-commerce store that doesn't track its valued visitors.

We provide non-tracking, no-commission links to all items shown. In effect we have no means of earning a commission from any sales. It is kind of silly from a commercial point of view, but we have a philosophy and principles, and we don't think we are alone in being fed up with data harvesting and the rest of the surveilance going on.

So we will make our stand and ask our readers who appreciate it, to support us with a small donation of sats (bitcoin cents) if they buy anything from the store. Or just drop us a micro-tip as a thumbs up.

This way, we can maintain our commitment to privacy while still covering our costs.

Youtube videos, doing our best to stop tracking

Thanks to Magnus Helander for this tip.

[Trouble is] This script loads the YouTube player from youtube-nocookie.com domain which prevents YouTube from setting a persistent cookie. It does, however, store a yt-remote-device-id identifier in Local Storage on your browser. This ID is (possibly...) anonymous but will track videos you view. Technically this device-ID could be matched against authenticated sessions and Google would be able to identify the user.
The YouTube player will also send the full URL of the page where the video is embedded to Google.
