What this site collects.
Short version: anonymous visit counts, no cookies, no ads, and nothing that identifies you.

Who runs this site

Visitor statistics
I use Cloudflare Web Analytics to see how the site is used. It shows me totals such as:
- which pages are viewed, and how often
- which website sent the visit (for example LinkedIn, Google or GitHub)
- the visitor's country, browser and device type (mobile or desktop)
- how quickly pages load
It does not set cookies or store anything on your device, and Cloudflare states that it does not fingerprint or track individual visitors. I only ever see aggregate numbers, never a record of you personally. When your browser loads the analytics script, Cloudflare receives your IP address, as with any web request. See Cloudflare's privacy policy.
I use these statistics because I have a legitimate interest in knowing whether the site is useful and where visitors find it. Because no cookies are used, you won't see a cookie banner.
Hosting
The site is hosted on GitLab Pages. GitLab receives your IP address and browser details when it delivers pages to you, which is how the web works, and may keep short-lived logs for security and reliability. I don't have access to those logs. Fonts and images are served from this site itself, so no other services are contacted.
If you book a call
Calls are booked through Cal.com. When you book, Cal.com collects your name, email address and the answers you give in the booking form, and shares them with me so I can prepare for the call. Calls take place on Zoom, and the booking is added to my Microsoft Outlook calendar. I use these details only to arrange and hold the call and to follow up about your enquiry.
If you book a paid evening or weekend call, your card payment is handled by Stripe, which emails you a receipt. I never see or store your card details.
If you contact me
If you email me or message me on LinkedIn, I'll use what you send only to reply to you, and I won't share it or add you to any mailing list.
What I don't do
- No advertising or ad tracking
- No selling or sharing of visitor data
- No forms, accounts or logins on this site itself (bookings happen on Cal.com)
