What this site records

This is a personal portfolio. It runs its own small analytics rather than handing your visit to an ad network, and there is no advertising, no data broker and nothing sold to anyone.

What gets logged

For each page view: the page, the time, the referring link, the browser user agent, the IP address, the approximate city and region derived from that address, and the network operator that address belongs to. A cookie holds a random identifier so repeat views can be counted as one person rather than several, and a second cookie remembers a campaign key if you arrived through a tagged link.

Why

To know which work people actually watch, and whether an employer I have applied to has looked at the site. That is the whole purpose.

What is not collected

No name, no email address, no account, no cross site tracking, no fingerprinting, no advertising identifiers. The network lookup returns the organisation that owns the address block. It does not return a person.

How long

Records are deleted automatically after roughly a year. They live in a private database that only I can read.

Opting out
