Privacy & Cookies

This static site has no accounts, comments, subscription database, or content-management backend.

Essential storage

We store your analytics preference in your browser so the site can remember whether you accepted or declined optional analytics. You can reopen the choice at any time with “Cookie Preferences” in the footer.

Google Analytics

Google Analytics is configured to load only after you accept analytics. Before consent, the Google tag is not requested. When enabled, it may process device, browser, page, and approximate location information under Google’s terms.

Microsoft Clarity

Microsoft Clarity provides anonymized heatmaps and usage patterns — how far visitors scroll, where they tap, which links get ignored. Like Google Analytics, the Clarity tag is not requested until you accept analytics. When enabled, it may set its own cookies and process device and interaction information under Microsoft’s terms, with all form inputs masked.

Cloudflare

Cloudflare provides hosting, security, and optional privacy-focused Web Analytics. Like most hosting providers, Cloudflare may process network and request information needed to deliver and protect the site.

Advertising & third-party cookies

We work with third-party advertising partners, including Google AdSense, to display non-intrusive advertisements across the site. Google and its ad partners use cookies and device identifiers to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to this website or other sites across the internet.

You can opt out of personalized advertising at any time by visiting Google Ads Settings or through the Network Advertising Initiative at aboutads.info. Sensitive editorial pages and interactive runner tools are maintained with minimal advertising to prioritize readability and usability.

Your choices

You may decline optional analytics without losing access to any article. Browser controls can clear local storage and other site data.
