TL;DR:
I don’t want your personal data, don’t collect it on purpose, and don’t run ads, trackers, or cookies. I use a privacy-friendly analytics tool (Umami) to keep the site running smoothly — and even that data is limited, anonymized, and regularly deleted.
1. I Don’t Care About You (In a Good Way)
This blog doesn’t ask for your name, email, or any personal details. You can browse freely — no signups, no forms, no dark patterns, no hidden tracking. At best you can invite me a Coffee with the https://buymeacoffee.com/pr0z4k thingy, but that is totally optional and not required.
I’m not interested in profiling users, retargeting visitors, or squeezing you into a sales funnel. I have nothing to sell.
2. Analytics: Umami (Self-Hosted, Privacy-First)
I use Umami, a self-hosted, open-source analytics tool that helps me understand basic performance data — like how many people read posts, which pages are most visited, and how well the site is working.
Key facts about Umami on this site:
- No cookies
- No third-party requests
- No fingerprinting
- No personal identifiers (name, email, IPs, etc.)
- Hosted on my own server — no one else sees the data
- All analytics data is deleted every 90 days - Data Space is Expensive
What Umami Does Collect:
- Page views
- Referring websites (like if you came from Twitter or Reddit)
- Device types (mobile, desktop, etc.)
- Country (based on generalized, anonymized data)
- Aggregated browser & OS usage
What You Should Know:
To measure how many people visit and revisit a page during a session, Umami creates a temporary session key. This is a randomized, non-identifiable hash based on limited browser data. It does not reveal who you are and is not used across sessions.
However, under some privacy regulations (like the GDPR), this kind of session key might be considered pseudonymous data. Just being honest about that.
3. No Third-Party Scripts
This site doesn’t include:
- Google Analytics
- Facebook/Meta tracking pixels
- Advertising networks
- Embedded third-party scripts that track you
You’re not being watched, followed, or profiled. I run everything in-house and keep it minimal.
4. Data Retention
Analytics data is kept for a maximum of 90 days, then automatically deleted. I don’t keep historical logs, and I don't export or back up the analytics.
5. Contact

My Thoughts (In Plain English)
This blog is a quiet corner of the internet. I built it to share ideas — not to gather data, generate ad revenue, or follow you around.
Your privacy is respected by design, not by compliance checkbox.
Thanks for visiting.
Stay private, stay curious.
