Analytics

This site uses Statcounter analytics to display useful statistical data about which pages are being read and how people are coming to them. IP addresses are masked, no personal data is collected or retained, and Statcounter does not share visitor data with third parties. Statcounter is awesome.

Statcounter sets a cookie (called “is_unique”)  in your browser. This cookie is used only to determine whether you are a first-time or returning visitor and to estimate unique visits to the site, and no personal data is stored in the cookie. You can opt-out of the cookie here or in your browser settings.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on articles or posts, the site collects the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection. This helps me to confirm the 1 comment out of every 100 that isn’t spam.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos from YouTube and WordPress.tv, tweets, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These services may collect your IP Address, your User Agent, store and retrieve cookies on your browser, embed additional third party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including correlating your interaction with the content with your account with that service, if you are logged in to that service. I recommend exercising your privacy rights directly through the services using the links above.

This site uses a Google Font – you’re reading it now – which is locally hosted.

No personal data is shared with third parties.

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely.

Statcounter analytics logs run for the past 25,000 views.

All data pertaining to personal abuse, stalking, and harassment are kept indefinitely.

If you have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of them. You can also request that I erase any personal data held about you on this site (there isn’t any).

Export and deletion requests are not applicable to any data I am obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes, including stalking and harassment.

This web site is hosted and backed up within the United Kingdom.
