Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 7, 2026
This site is operated by Sam Hartmann and is hosted on GitHub Pages. Your privacy matters. This page explains what information is collected and how it is used.
Google Analytics
This site uses Google Analytics 4 (GA4), a service provided by Google LLC. GA4 uses cookies and similar technologies to collect anonymous usage data, including:
- Pages visited and time spent on each page
- Approximate geographic location (country / region — not precise location)
- Browser type, operating system, and device category
- How visitors arrived at the site (e.g., search engine, direct link)
What is NOT collected: No names, email addresses, phone numbers, or other personally
identifiable information (PII) are sent to Google Analytics.
URL parameters that could contain PII (such as ?email=) are never intentionally used
on this site, and ad-click identifiers are redacted before any data leaves your browser.
Legal basis and opt-out
Analytics cookies are only set after you accept via the cookie consent banner. If you decline or never accept, no analytics cookies are placed and GA4 collects no data about your visit.
You can also opt out at any time by:
- Clearing this site’s cookies in your browser settings, which resets your preference.
- Installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
For more information on how Google processes analytics data, see: Google’s Privacy Policy and How Google uses information from sites that use Google Analytics.
