Privacy

We want to know which pages are useful so we can make better ones. We do that with two analytics tools, both set up to collect as little as possible. We don’t sell data, we don’t run ads on this site, and we never see your name or email unless you write to us.

What we use

Cloudflare Web Analytics (no cookies)

Cloudflare Web Analytics counts page views and shows us, in aggregate, which pages were visited, where visits came from (for example a search engine or YouTube), the type of device and browser, the country, and how fast pages loaded. It doesn’t use cookies or local storage and doesn’t track you across other sites. See Cloudflare Web Analytics and Cloudflare’s privacy policy.

Google Analytics 4 (uses cookies)

Google Analytics gives us aggregate reports on how the site is used: pages viewed, time on page, scrolling, clicks on links (including clicks through to our YouTube channel), use of the breathing pacer, approximate country and city, and device type. To tell a new visit from a returning one, it sets first-party cookies named _ga and _ga_04TF991ZRR on this site. We set these cookies to expire after 13 months.

We’ve set it up for privacy:

• Advertising features are off. Google signals, ad personalisation and links to Google Ads are all turned off, and no advertising cookies are set.
• We only see totals. We look at reports such as “how many people read this page”. We can’t see who you are.
• Data is kept for 14 months. Google Analytics deletes the event-level data tied to these cookies after 14 months. Totals in standard reports (for example, monthly page views) remain.
• Visitors in the EEA, UK and Switzerland are asked first. In those regions, Google Analytics doesn’t set cookies unless you choose Accept on the banner.

Google processes this data under its own terms. See how Google uses information from sites that use its services and Google’s privacy policy.

Your choices

• This switch saves your choice in your browser’s local storage (wh-analytics-consent), so it applies to this browser on this site until you clear site data. It needs JavaScript.
• To stop Google Analytics on every website, install Google’s Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
• Blocking or deleting cookies in your browser settings also works. The site works the same either way.

Other things to know

• Hosting. This site is hosted on GitHub Pages. GitHub may log visitors’ IP addresses for security. See the GitHub General Privacy Statement.
• Embedded videos. Videos are embedded with YouTube’s privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com). If you press play, YouTube’s own privacy policy applies.
• Fonts are hosted on this site, so loading a page doesn’t contact a font service.
• Email. If you email us, we use your message only to reply.
