Browsing this website.

This is a static website. It has no account system, contact form or visitor database. The hosting provider may process standard request information, such as IP addresses, to deliver and secure the site.

Optional website analytics.

Google Analytics 4 helps us understand visits, traffic sources, pages read and clicks through to YouTube. It loads only after you choose “Allow analytics.” If you decline, we do not load Google Analytics or send analytics events. The site works either way.

When allowed, Google receives usage information such as page URLs, referring sites, device/browser information and interactions. Analytics cookies identify visits and returning browsers. We do not send names, email addresses or user account IDs, and we disable advertising personalization and Google signals in our tag.

Our analytics cookies expire after 13 months unless renewed by a later visit. Your choice is stored in this browser for six months. Use “Privacy settings” in the footer to change it at any time. Declining after allowing stops future collection and clears this site’s accessible Analytics cookies; it does not erase data already collected by Google. Browser storage restrictions or blockers can prevent collection.

Google processes this information under its Privacy Policy. Learn how Google uses information from partner sites. We use Analytics for audience measurement, not to infer political beliefs or build advertising audiences.

Watching videos.

YouTube players load only when you choose to load videos. They use youtube-nocookie.com, YouTube’s privacy-enhanced embed domain. YouTube may process information or set cookies when you interact with its player. Visiting YouTube follows Google’s privacy practices.

Fonts and external links.

The Jost font is served from this website. Links to other services take you to sites with their own privacy policies.
