What this site collects
This is a personal portfolio site. There are no accounts, sign-ups, forms, newsletters, or carts. I don't ask you for personal information, and I don't store any.
Analytics & cookies
This site uses Google Analytics 4 to understand which panels people visit. It sets cookies and similar identifiers in your browser, and collects the panels you view, the site that referred you, your approximate (city-level) location derived from your IP address, and basic device and browser information. That data is transmitted to and processed by Google. I see only aggregate reports and cannot identify you from them.
How Google uses this data
Opt out of Google Analytics
You can also block cookies in your browser settings — the site works perfectly well without them.
What I don't do
No advertising. No selling or sharing of your data. No cross-site tracking, no advertising profiles, no data brokers.
