The short version

We keep this page short because our data practices are short. We don't run ad networks, we don't build profiles, and we don't sell anything about you.

Analytics. We use Ahrefs Web Analytics to see which pages get read. It's cookieless — no cookies, no cross-site tracking, no fingerprinting. It can't identify you, and we don't try to. That's also why this site shows no cookie banner: it doesn't set any non-essential cookies.

The contact form. When you submit the form on our site, it sends us an email with what you typed — your name, email, and message. We use that only to reply and to follow up on your inquiry. We don't add you to a mailing list, and we don't share or sell it.
