Privacy policy

We do not provide account services and we do not ask you to submit passwords, private keys, seed phrases, verification codes, API keys, KYC documents or financial account details. If a page ever appears to ask for those, treat it as suspicious and leave.

What may be processed

We use Google Analytics 4 on every page to understand which articles get read. Google knows this site by the code G-QJCBDMRK36, which you will also see in the name of the second cookie below. It records the pages you view, the site that sent you, how long you stay, whether you scroll to the end, clicks on outbound links, your browser, device type and screen size, and an approximate location at roughly city level.

Google says GA4 does not log or store IP addresses. What we see in GA4 is aggregate reporting, such as how often an article was read in a week and where readers tend to arrive from, and we use it to decide which topics to extend and which pages to fix. We cannot see your name, and we do not match this data with your email address or anything else. Google processes and stores the data; its privacy policy explains how.

Cloudflare, whose network delivers this site’s pages to your browser, also counts visits: it records the time, page, referring site, rough region and device type of each visit, and adds its own small page-view script to each page on the way through. That count sets no cookie, is not used to identify you, and reaches us only as aggregate numbers.

Cookies

GA4 sets two cookies (except on visits from the European Economic Area, the UK and Turkey, see below): _ga, which tells one visitor from another, and _ga_QJCBDMRK36, which keeps track of the current visit. Both last two years and hold a random identifier, not your name or contact details. Cloudflare’s page-view count sets no cookie, and our own code sets no others.

If you would rather not be counted, install Google’s Analytics opt-out browser add-on (tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout) or use a browser or extension that blocks trackers; either one stops the data being sent. Blocking or clearing this site’s cookies only stops GA4 from recognizing you as a returning reader. None of this affects your ability to read anything here.

The site shows no cookie consent pop-up. For readers in most places, GA4 counts visits as described above as soon as a page opens. The European Economic Area (the 27 EU countries plus Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway) and Turkey require consent before analytics cookies are set, and we apply the same standard to the UK, so visits from those places start with GA4 cookies switched off: Google receives only a cookieless visit count that cannot recognize you. Google works out the region roughly from your IP address, so a VPN can change which rule applies.

Fonts and outbound links

The fonts on these pages come from Google Fonts, so Google receives your IP address. Google says it uses the address to send the font files and for security, and that the Fonts API does not set or log cookies. Articles also link to outside sources, and those sites have their own privacy practices.

Local tools

The checkers on this site run in the browser and are meant for education. They do not require account details and should not be used to submit secrets.
