Privacy Policy

General

Since privacy matters to me, I will not go on about how "I value your privacy".

This website is currently hosted on a VPS, that I rent from Hetzner. I am the only person accessing it, although their staff will technically be able to do this as well, since they control the physical hardware that this site runs on and I do not use full disk encryption. If you worry about them receiving some of your data, consult their privacy policy here.

I do not collect server logs, thus I do not collect IP addresses or other things a web server usually logs.

Analytics

I do collect some data about my readers, including:

• What page you visit
• How long you visit it
• Where you are from (country, region, city, based on IP (which is not logged))
• What device you are on (OS, screen size, Browser)
• What referred you to my site, if available
• What you click and how you scroll

I do this for idle curiosity and maybe some insight about how to make the site better, I do not process any of this further.

These analytics are collected using Umami which I self-host meaning that I am the only person who can access this information (apart from Hetzner technical staff, see above).

How to opt out

If you do not wish to be tracked this way, which is your right, you can take measures to block this. The tracking scripts are called log_visits.js and recorder.js and are loaded from https://logs.bfloeser.de, which you can disallow (e.g. using an ad blocker). Disabling JavaScript entirely is also possible but please note that important parts of the website will not work if you do. A slightly more hacky way to achieve this is executing the following line of JavaScript in your browser console while visiting my website:

localStorage.setItem("umami.disabled", 1);

Note that this will only live as long as you don't clear browser data for this website.

Feel free to reach out, if you are unhappy about any of the above.
