Privacy

I am not convinced that it is ethical to track visitors to this site. While my readers (who are likely more "tech-savvy" than average) may understand the extent of data collection on the modern web well enough to make an informed decision, the average user does not. I expect the average user will always perceive blog articles like these (or other similar kinds of static content) in much the same way that they perceive a book or newspaper—without any expectation that the author is watching from behind one-way glass.

Therefore, I will never track you in any way. This means that I am relying on you to get in touch if you have feedback on what you see and read here. I can't A/B test or track engagement, so we must actually have a conversation for me to find out what you think. Some might see this as a disadvantage, and in a sense, it is. However, it feels like a way to inject a bit of humanity back into a very strange and inhuman modern internet. Nothing will be done without your express consent.

If ever you find a tracking script on this site, please don't attribute to malice what can be better explained by ignorance. I might have added a tool or extension to the site that had unintended consequences. Let me know, and I will find a way to remove it.

This site uses jekyll. The source code is freely available on github. Currently, this website is served by netlify. If there are any privacy concerns associated with netlify, feel free to reach out, and we can discuss an alternative.

I reserve the right to advertise on this site if I so choose, but if I do, I will only do so in a way that does not track you.
