Tracking
Analytics
No Google Analytics here. I’m currently running version 2 of Fathom Analytics. Fathom anonymizes IP addresses and 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
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: fair play please
In an attempt to prevent “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 to automatically include an up to date section with the latest user-agents to block. I gave up a few weeks later, but the information remains relevant if you want to try.
Originality.ai provides a live dashboard showing how many of the top 1000 websites are blocking specific AI web crawlers.
