Privacy statement · updated 2026-09-28

Privacy

A plain-English description of what this website does, and does not do, with information about you.

What this site collects

This is a static website. It has no user accounts, no comment system and no contact form. It does not set cookies, does not use local storage for tracking, and does not include social-media buttons, embedded videos, advertising or any other third-party scripts.

The site uses no analytics or visitor tracking of any kind. We do not know who visits, which pages they read or where they came from, beyond the ordinary server logs described below.

The only optional thing the site remembers is your light/dark theme choice, if you use the toggle in the header. That preference is stored in your own browser and is never sent anywhere.

Hosting and server logs

The site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages and delivered through Cloudflare's network. Like any web host, Cloudflare receives and briefly processes the standard technical information a browser sends with every request — your IP address, the page requested, the time, and browser and referrer headers — to serve the page, protect against abuse and keep the service running. We do not have access to individual request logs. Cloudflare's own privacy policy describes its handling of that data.

Email

If you email the address on the contact page, we will receive your address, anything you write and any attachments. That information is used only to reply to you and to keep a record of the correspondence. It is not added to any mailing list, shared with anyone else, or used for marketing. Messages are kept for as long as they are needed for the matter they relate to and then deleted. Email is handled by our email provider, which processes messages in order to deliver them.

Links to other sites

Research posts link to external sources. Those sites have their own privacy practices, which we do not control. The site sends only the origin (not the full page address) as the referrer when you follow a link.

Changes

If the way this site works changes — for example if a contact form or analytics were added — this page will be updated first, and the date at the top will change.

Privacy questions

Questions or concerns about anything here, or a request to delete correspondence we hold, can be sent to the contact address below. Please put “Privacy” in the subject line.
