Privacy

This page describes what this site does today. It is written from the site's own source rather than from a template, and it names the conditions that would make it out of date at the bottom.

What we collect

Analytics

We use Cloudflare Web Analytics. It does not use cookies, does not fingerprint your browser or device, and does not create a persistent identifier for you. It cannot follow you to any other site. It reports pages viewed and referring sites in aggregate. Serving it requires a small script from static.cloudflareinsights.com.

We use it for one reason, stated plainly: we set ourselves written targets for whether this site is worth continuing, and those targets are expressed in monthly visits. A target you cannot check is decoration.

Server logs

The site is served from Cloudflare's network as static files. Like any web server, Cloudflare processes your IP address and request in order to deliver the page. We do not receive that data as a per-visitor record and we do not combine it with anything else.

Fonts

Typefaces are served from this site's own domain. There is no request to Google Fonts or any other font host, so viewing a page here does not disclose your IP address to a third party for typography.

What we do not collect

• No cookies — neither our own nor anyone else's. See Cookies.
• No accounts. There is nothing to sign up for and no password to store.
• No advertising and no advertising network.
• No affiliate links and no click tracking.
• No forms. Contact is by email, which reaches us directly and is not processed by this site.
• No selling or sharing of anything about you, because there is nothing held to sell or share.

What is stored in your browser

At most one key, mazetick:theme, holding the word light or dark. It remembers that you chose a colour theme by hand. It is stored by your browser in local storage, it never leaves your device, and it never reaches our server. If you have not used the theme control, nothing is stored and the site follows your system setting. Clearing your browser's site data removes it, and the site works normally without it.

Your rights

Under UK and EU data protection law you have rights of access, correction and erasure over personal data held about you. We hold none, so there is nothing for us to return or delete. If you email us, we hold that email; ask and we will delete it.

What would change this page

Any of the following, and this page must be revised before the change goes live rather than after:

• Introducing advertising of any kind, including Google AdSense.
• Adding affiliate or referral links, or any tracking of clicks out.
• Adding a contact form, a newsletter or an email alert.
• Replacing or supplementing the analytics described above.
• Embedding anything served from another domain, including video or social widgets.

Several of those are on the roadmap. This notice exists so that the page cannot quietly stop being true when they arrive.
