Privacy Policy
This page describes what actually happens when you open a page on this site, written to match the code rather than a generic template.
Last updated: Sep 20, 2026
The short version
- No accounts, no logins, no comment system — no names or email addresses are collected.
- No first-party cookies and no fingerprinting on our side.
- One third-party service runs on every page: Microsoft Clarity, for anonymised session analytics and heatmaps. It sets its own cookies.
- No advertising. There are no ad scripts on this site today, so no ad network profiles you here.
- YouTube videos are linked, not embedded, so no YouTube script loads on a page of this site. Google sees a request only if you follow the link.
What runs in your browser
| Service | When | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Microsoft Clarity | Every page | Anonymised session recordings, heatmaps and click statistics. Sets its own cookies. |
| YouTube | Only if you click a video link | The video opens on youtube.com, where Google’s own policy applies. |
| Steam | Only if you click a store link | The store page opens on steampowered.com. |
What we can and cannot see
Clarity gives us aggregate behaviour: how far people scroll, which sections they click, where sessions end. It does not give us names or addresses. We also read Google Search Console to see which queries bring people here, which tells us which pages need filling in.
We do not build user profiles, do not sell data, and do not run ads. If we ever add advertising, this page changes in the same deployment, and consent handling comes with it.
Your choices
- Block clarity.ms with any content blocker to stop the analytics entirely.
- Turning off third-party cookies in your browser limits what Clarity can store.
- For a data request under the GDPR, email us and we will pass it to the provider.

Privacy questions
Do you have my email address?
No. There is no signup and no contact form, so we never receive it.
Do you set cookies?
We set none ourselves. Microsoft Clarity sets its own cookies when its script runs. YouTube sets cookies only if you follow a link to a video.
How do I stop the analytics?
Block clarity.ms with any content blocker and the script will not load. Turning off third-party cookies in your browser also limits it.
Do you run advertising?
No. There are no ad scripts on this site today. If that ever changes, this page will be updated in the same deployment.
