Privacy

This site uses privacy-first, cookieless analytics. It sets no cookies, collects no personal data, and therefore shows no consent banner. The numbers exist only so I can see which writing, talks and projects are useful — never to identify or profile you.

What’s measured

Only aggregate, anonymous signals:

  • Page views and visitor counts per page.
  • A few interaction events — material downloads, outbound link clicks, and talk-video plays — counted as totals, never tied to a person.
  • Approximate, coarse location (country) and referrer, derived without storing your IP address.

The tools

  • Umami — an open-source, cookieless analytics tool. It identifies a visit with a daily-rotating salted hash of your IP address and user-agent; the IP address itself is never stored, and the hash resets every day, so visits can’t be linked across days or sites.
  • Cloudflare Web Analytics — a cookieless baseline measured through the browser’s Performance API. It uses no cookies, no client-side storage, and no fingerprinting.

What is not collected

  • No cookies and no localStorage for tracking.
  • No cross-site or cross-device tracking.
  • No personally identifiable information (name, email, precise location).
  • No behavioural profiles, and no advertising or data sale of any kind.

Because the analytics here are genuinely anonymous and cookieless, no consent banner is required:

  • Brazil (LGPD): anonymized data falls outside the law’s definition of personal data (Art. 12). Brazil’s data-protection authority (ANPD), in its Guia Orientativo sobre Cookies, also recognises aggregate audience measurement as a legitimate interest of the site operator (Art. 7, IX) — and cookieless tools sidestep the cookie question entirely.
  • EU/UK (GDPR & ePrivacy/PECR): storing no information on your device and processing no personal data means there is no cookie or consent obligation to satisfy.

If this ever changes — for example, if paid content later needs account-based analytics — this page will be updated first, and any consent mechanism will be added before such tracking begins.
