Tracking

No Google Analytics here. I’m currently running version 2 of Fathom Analytics. Fathom doesn’t collect personal or invasive data about you, nor do they use cookies, that’s why there is no pesky notice about cookie tracking on this site. They are fully GDPR compliant too.

Cookies

CloudFlare : The _cfduid cookie collects and anonymizes End User IP addresses using a one-way hash of certain values so they cannot be personally identified. The cookie is a session cookie that expires after 30 days.

The _cfduid cookie does not:

  • allow for cross-site tracking,
  • follow users from site to site by merging various \cfduid identifiers into a profile, or
  • correspond to any user ID in a Customer’s web application.

YouTube : only the video thumbnail is embeded. Once you click on a video, the player is inserted and linked to ‘youtube-nocookie.com’ which prevents Google from sending a data-collecting HTTP cookie (so called ‘Privacy-Enhanced Mode’).

When enabled, YouTube won’t store information about you, unless you interact with those videos. Think of it as click-to-play; unless you click, YouTube promises that it won’t store information about you.

Vimeo : videos embedded in this site have the dnt=1 parameter set. Setting this parameter to “true” blocks the player from tracking any session data, including all cookies and analytics. It has the same effect as enabling a Do Not Track setting in your browser.

AI bots not welcome

In an attempt to revent “AI companies” from from scraping my website and using data that they haven’t been given explicit consent for, I adapted my robots.txt file according to Neil Clarke’s post “Block the Bots that Feed “AI” Models by Scraping Your Website”.

The robots.txt file was last updated on February, 20th, 2024.
