Privacy

This site collects very little. It is set up to show Google AdSense ads; once ads run, Google uses cookies to serve them, and visitors in the EEA, UK and Switzerland are asked for consent first. If you join the email list your address is stored by EmailOctopus, and the signup form uses Google reCAPTCHA for spam protection. You can unsubscribe from any email in one click.

The short version

This site collects very little. It is set up to show ads from Google AdSense; until Google approves the site, no ads run and no advertising cookies are set.

What is collected

If you join the email list, your email address is stored by the email provider that sends those messages. It is used to send you what you asked for and nothing else. Every email has a one-click unsubscribe, and unsubscribing removes you.

Anonymous page statistics. Which pages get visited, roughly where visitors come from. No fingerprinting, no identifying anyone across sites. Statistics are aggregate — they say a page was read, not who read it.

Spam protection on the signup form. The email form is provided by EmailOctopus and protected by Google reCAPTCHA, which sets cookies and checks whether you are a person. Until ads are approved, that is the one place on this site where a third party sets a cookie, and it only applies to the signup box. Everything else here is cookieless.

What is not collected

Advertising (Google AdSense)

This site uses Google AdSense to show ads. No ads run until Google approves the site, and none are set to load automatically. Once ads are shown, Google and its partners use cookies to serve ads based on your visits to this and other websites. You can turn off personalised ads in Google’s Ads Settings, and read how Google uses this data in Google’s advertising policy. Visitors in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland are asked for consent before personalised ads are shown.

Some links lead to other companies — a store, a charting platform, a broker. Once you click one, you are on their site and their privacy policy applies, not this one. Read theirs, particularly if you are about to create an account.

Your data

Email me or leave a comment and I’ll remove your address from the list. You don’t need a reason and I won’t ask for one.

If you are in a jurisdiction with a formal right to access or delete personal data, the same request covers it — there is very little to hand over, which is rather the point.
