What We Collect

• Analytics: We use Umami with self-hosted configuration. Page views are aggregated and anonymized.
• Email: If you subscribe to updates, we store your email with our newsletter provider. You can unsubscribe at any time via the footer link in each message.
• Comments: When you participate via Giscus, your comment is stored on GitHub and subject to GitHub’s privacy policy.

How We Use Data

• Improve the articles we publish and prioritize future topics
• Monitor site reliability and performance
• Respond to messages you initiate (support, partnerships, speaking requests)

We never sell personal data or share it with advertisers.

Cookies

We do not set tracking cookies. Third-party embeds (e.g., GitHub Gists, YouTube demos) may use their own cookies. Those providers control their respective policies.

Data Retention

• Newsletter contacts are retained until you unsubscribe or request removal.
• Contact emails are stored for up to 12 months to track ongoing conversations.
