Privacy

This site sets no cookies, runs no advertising trackers, and stores nothing that identifies you. That is unusual enough to be worth stating plainly, and specific enough to be checked — everything below describes code you could read.

What is recorded when you read a page

Two things: the path of the page, and the domain that sent you (for example pinterest.com or google.com). That is the whole record.

Not recorded by us: your IP address, any cookie or identifier, anything that persists between visits, and the full URL you arrived from — only its domain is kept. There is no way for us to tell whether two page views came from the same person, and we prefer it that way.

The one third party that sees your visit

Since 18 August 2026 this site also loads Ahrefs Web Analytics, a script hosted by Ahrefs. We added it to find out which pages get read and where readers come from, because the count above cannot tell us much on its own.

It sets no cookies and does not follow you to other sites — Ahrefs states each data point is limited to one device, one site and one day. What it does record that our own counter does not is your operating system, device type and browser, derived from the request your browser sends. That request reaches Ahrefs' servers rather than ours. Until 19 August 2026 this heading was not strictly true: Ghost loaded two of its own scripts from a public CDN, jsdelivr, which also saw every visit. Those files are now served from this server, so Ahrefs is the only third party left.

We are naming it because an earlier version of this page said your browser and device were not recorded. Once the script went in that was no longer true, and a privacy page that overstates is worth less than none. If you would rather not be counted at all, any content blocker stops it, and nothing on this site breaks when it is blocked.

We use this to answer one question: which articles get read, and which channels send anyone. That is all it can answer.

Affiliate links

Some articles link to Amazon, and we earn a commission if you buy something after following one. Those links are marked (paid link) and point at amazon.com in plain sight — never through a redirect that hides where you are going.

When such a link is clicked, we record which product and which page it was on. No identifier travels with it. Once you reach Amazon you are on Amazon's site under Amazon's privacy policy, and what happens there is theirs, not ours.

Email

If you subscribe, we store the address you give us and nothing else. It is used to send what you subscribed to. It is never sold, never traded, and never handed to anyone for marketing.

Delivery runs through Mailtrap, which handles the sending on our behalf. Every email carries an unsubscribe link, and unsubscribing removes the address.

What we do not do

• No advertising networks and no ad tracking.
• No Google Analytics, no Meta pixel, no third-party analytics of any kind.
• No cookies for analytics, so no consent banner interrupting the article.
• No selling, renting or sharing of anything with anyone.
• No profiles, and no fingerprinting.

Comments and embedded content

Comments are not enabled. Pages may embed images we host ourselves. Where an article links out, the destination has its own policy and we have no control over and no visibility into it.

Your data, and how to remove it

Since nothing collected here identifies a person, there is generally nothing to look up or delete — a page view carries no name to search for. The one exception is an email address, if you gave us one. Ask and it goes, same day.

Changes

If this policy changes, the date below changes with it, and material changes are described rather than silently substituted.
