Privacy

What is measured, what is stored, and the reason you were never shown a cookie banner on the way in.

One measurement tag, nothing else

A single analytics property runs on these pages: Google Analytics 4, identifier G-WJXZXPXRJ8. There is no advertising pixel, no heatmap recorder, no session replay, no chat widget and no embedded social component. Typefaces are served from this domain rather than a font host, so rendering a page triggers no third-party request at all.

Consent is refused before the tag can act

Consent Mode v2 is initialised ahead of the analytics loader, with analytics storage and all four advertising signals set to denied. Functionality and security storage are permitted, since neither is used for tracking. The order matters: declared after the loader, those instructions would arrive too late to prevent storage being written.

Why there are no cookies

With storage denied, the analytics library operates without writing any identifier to your browser. No cookie is created by this site, first-party or otherwise, and nothing persists between visits. Check it yourself: developer tools, Application, Cookies — the list is empty.

The trade is deliberate and worth stating. Without an identifier, a returning reader counts as a new one, and Google fills part of the resulting gap with modelling. Volume is measured; individuals are not distinguished.

Why there is no banner

Banners exist to collect permission for storage. Nothing here requests storage, so there is nothing to obtain permission for, and a dialogue asking you to accept something that never happens would be theatre rather than compliance.

What leaves the page when you click out

Links pointing at advertising platforms carry campaign parameters saying which site sent the click, through which channel, under which campaign name and from which spot on the page. The receiving platform reads those values; they describe a position in a document and never a person. Why they are attached at all is answered in the disclosure. Once you arrive, that platform's own policy governs, not this one.

Correspondence and rights

Email sent to any address on the contact page is retained only as long as answering it requires, and is never added to a mailing list, because none exists. There are no accounts, no logins and no forms on this site, so there is no stored profile to export or erase. To ask what is held about you, or to have correspondence deleted, write to the same address.

Readers arriving here from a search result may also want the scope note, which explains what this site publishes and why, or the grading rules behind every figure it prints.
