Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 2026

Overview

This website respects your privacy. It is a static blog with no accounts, no analytics, and no first-party cookies. Here’s exactly what (little) data is involved and why.

Static Hosting (GitHub Pages)

This site is hosted on GitHub Pages. GitHub may collect basic server logs (IP addresses, browser info) as part of their hosting service. Legal basis: Legitimate interest (technical provision of the site). Further information: GitHub Privacy Statement.

Search & Charts (Lunr.js & Chart.js via CDN)

The site’s full-text search loads Lunr.js from the unpkg CDN, and blog posts that include charts load Chart.js from the jsDelivr CDN. Both libraries run entirely in your browser; loading them from a CDN exposes your IP address and browser info to that CDN. Both are blocked until you grant functional consent. Legal basis: Consent.

Read Aloud

The read-aloud feature uses the browser’s built-in Web Speech API. No data is sent to any external service — everything happens locally.

Analytics

This site does not use Google Analytics or any other tracking/analytics service. No tracking cookies are set.

This site implements a cookie consent banner. Third-party scripts are blocked by default and only loaded after your explicit consent. You can change your choice at any time via the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer. Consent is stored in localStorage under the key cookie_consent for 365 days.

Essential (always active): localStorage for theme preference, view mode, and your consent choice.
Functional Services (opt-in): Lunr.js/unpkg (search) and Chart.js/jsDelivr (charts on posts).

Cookies & Local Storage

This site does not set any first-party cookies. It only uses localStorage, which stays on your device and is never transmitted. The site’s own localStorage keys are:

theme — light/dark theme preference
viewMode — blog image view mode (e.g. carousel)
headerSticky — whether the site header stays pinned
cookie_consent — your consent choice (kept for 365 days)

Third-Party Services Summary

Service	Purpose	Data collected	Sets cookies?
GitHub Pages	Hosting	Server logs	No
unpkg CDN	Search library (Lunr.js) delivery	IP address, browser info	No
jsDelivr CDN	Chart library (Chart.js) delivery	IP address, browser info	No

Your rights (data subject rights)

You have the right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection, data portability, and withdrawal of consent at any time (via “Cookie Settings” in the footer). Since no personal data is permanently stored on this site’s infrastructure, there is little to act on.

Changes to this privacy policy

This policy may be updated if necessary. The current version is always available on this page. Changes are marked with a new “Last updated” date.
