Privacy Policy

Your privacy matters to us

Last updated: December 15, 2025

Hey there! Let's keep this simple and honest. Your privacy matters, and you deserve to know exactly what happens when you visit this blog. No legal jargon, just the facts.

The Cookie Situation

Yes, this site uses cookies, but not the delicious kind. Here's what they do:

  • Remember your preferences: Like whether you prefer dark mode or light mode
  • Track which posts you've reacted to: So you can heart your favorite articles
  • Remember you dismissed that notification: We won't bug you again

That's it. No tracking across the web, no selling your data, no creepy stuff. Just basic website functionality.

Analytics (Google Analytics)

I use Google Analytics to understand which articles are popular and how people find the blog. This helps me write better content that you actually want to read.

Google Analytics collects anonymous data like:

  • Which pages you visit
  • How long you stay
  • What country you're from (just the country, not your address!)
  • What device and browser you're using

Want to opt out? Use a browser extension like Google Analytics Opt-out.

Ads (Google AdSense)

Full transparency: I show ads through Google AdSense to help cover hosting costs. Google uses cookies to show you ads that might actually be relevant to you instead of random stuff.

Don't like personalized ads? You can disable them in your Google Ads Settings or use an ad blocker, I won't judge!

What I DON'T Do

Let me be crystal clear about what I don't do:

  • Sell your email or personal information
  • Track you across other websites
  • Collect passwords or sensitive data (there's no login system!)
  • Use any sketchy third-party trackers beyond Google Analytics
  • Send spam or marketing emails

Server Logs

Like every website on the internet, the hosting server keeps basic logs that include your IP address, browser type, and when you visited. This is standard practice and helps me debug issues or investigate any security problems. These logs are automatically deleted after a reasonable period.

Third-Party Services

This blog uses the following third-party services:

Questions?

If you have any questions about this privacy policy or how your data is handled, feel free to reach out through the About page.

Bottom line: I'm just a developer sharing knowledge. I use the standard tools to understand what content is helpful and to keep the lights on with ads. Your privacy is respected.
