Privacy
This site contains components from the following third-party sites:
- cdnjs.cloudflare.com
- Used to serve javascript for:
- Fancybox
- Font-awesome
- highlight.js
- jquery
- Used to serve javascript for:
- www.gravitar.com
- Power icon for “About” page
- www.disqus.com
- Used to provide comment functionality to posts
- While I’m not happy to have to use Disqus for the commenting system, that was basically the only option for a static site when I started this blog. Things have changed since then so one of the things I intend to do is convert to something like Staticman. That will allow me to keep all the comments local instead of relying on a third-party service that inserts their own tracking links, etc.
If any third-party site is not listed above it is an error/oversight on my part.
Since I would like to make some money from this site in order to keep it online, the following items may also be used on this site:
- Amazon affiliate links
- As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
- Tracker on pages used to determine metrics for this blog
- This is not a third-party tracker. The tracking link connects to a tracking server that I run for my own sites.
- DoNotTrack settings in browsers are respected
- Ad-blockers (such as Ublock Origin) will likely block the tracking as well
- I intend on tracking the bare minimum required to make metrics worthwhile. This includes but is not necessarily limited to:
- IP Address (first two octets only: x.x.0.0)
- Country
- Browser Version
- Platform (ie: desktop, laptop, mobile, etc.)
- Time
- Entry Page
- Exit page
- Page visited
- Referrer (i.e. Google, DuckDuckGo, etc.)
- This is not a third-party tracker. The tracking link connects to a tracking server that I run for my own sites.
I want to make it clear though, there will never be advertising on this site. At most, a local, static sponsorship banner will be displayed (if my blog ever becomes big enough to sponsor). I don’t like advertising/invasive web tracking so I would never force that on my readers.
