Privacy by Default / Plain-Language Disclosure
Privacy/Transparency
This site is designed to share work and ideas without building a behavioral profile of its visitors.
Effective July 30, 2026
What This Site Does Not Use
This site does not use advertising pixels, behavioral analytics, a contact form, membership accounts, or non-essential cookies. It does not embed social-media feeds or a third-party link hub. There is no cookie banner because no optional site cookies are currently offered.
Hosting and Technical Request Data
The site is hosted through IONOS Managed WordPress. IONOS processes technical request data needed to deliver and secure the hosting service. IONOS states that visitor IP addresses are anonymized and that the resulting technical data is retained for eight weeks. This operational data is not used here to build visitor profiles.
Read the current IONOS data-processing documentation ↗.
Administrative Authentication
WordPress and IONOS may set essential authentication and security cookies for a signed-in administrator. Those cookies support private site administration and are not part of ordinary public browsing. Public homepage testing is used to confirm that an anonymous visit does not receive a site cookie.
External Links
Links to GitHub, LinkedIn, Technology Biased, IONOS documentation, and future external services take you to sites with their own privacy practices. Those services may receive the normal technical information sent with a web request and may set their own cookies. No external profile or link-hub content is embedded on this site.
Affiliate Links
No compensated links are currently active. If an affiliate link is later published, it will be plainly disclosed beside the recommendation. Affiliate tracking may occur only after a visitor chooses to leave this site and follows that external link. The external company’s terms and privacy practices then apply.
Publishing and Site Assistance
Articles published in Notes are public WordPress posts. Comments and pingbacks are closed. This site was made with help from OpenAI Codex; that disclosure describes development assistance and does not mean a visitor’s browsing is sent to Codex.
Changes to This Disclosure
Any future analytics, embeds, advertising pixels, contact forms, memberships, or non-essential cookies will trigger a new privacy review before activation. This page will be updated when the site’s data practices materially change.
