This site respects your privacy. Here's exactly what happens when you visit.
What is collected
This site uses Azure Application Insights to understand which posts are popular and where traffic comes from. It collects:
- Page URL and title — which pages are visited
- Approximate country or region — derived from your IP address at the time of the request; the raw IP address is not stored
- Browser and operating system — from the user agent string
- Referrer URL — how you found this page (e.g., from a search engine or a link on another site)
What is not collected
- No cookies — Application Insights is configured with cookies and local storage fully disabled
- No personal identifiers — no names, email addresses, or account information
- No session tracking — there is no way to identify you as a returning visitor
- No cross-site tracking — no third-party analytics, advertising pixels, or tracking tags of any kind
- No raw IP addresses — not stored or retained
Because no cookies or persistent identifiers are used, no consent banner is needed.
Why it is collected
The only purpose is to understand which posts are being read and how people find the site. There is no advertising, no data sharing, and no commercial purpose.
Who processes it
Analytics data is processed by Microsoft Azure Application Insights. You can read more about how Microsoft handles data in their privacy statement.
