No cookies, no trackers, no ads — the complete list of what this site collects, and it is short.
the list#
No cookies. No trackers. No ads. No third-party scripts. The only personal data this site can hold is your email address — if you made a forum account. That is the entire list, and the rest of this page is the proof.
accounts — the only data we keep#
Posting in the community needs an account: your email address, a display name derived from it, and your posts — stored in our own Postgres database, on our own server, on our own hardware. Nothing profile-like beyond that; no analytics on your identity, no ad profiles, no sold rows. Say the word via [email protected] and the account and its posts go — gone means gone, no retention period, no backup that outlives you.
analytics — self-hosted, cookieless#
We count page views with Rybbit, running on our own hardware and served from this domain (/analytics/). It sets no cookies, does no fingerprinting, and tracks nothing across sites. We see anonymous page views and referrers — not people. We could not build a profile of you if we wanted to.
rate limiting — in memory only#
Public forms are rate-limited by IP address to stop abuse. Those records live in RAM for minutes and evaporate on their own or on the next restart. IPs are never written to disk, never attached to your email, never used for anything but "this socket is hammering the form".
what loads in your browser#
Our own analytics proxy at /analytics/ and, on some posts, their own inline interactivity — all first-party, served from this domain. Fonts are self-hosted. There is no Google Analytics, no ad network, no social pixel, no CDN fingerprinting surface, no A/B testing. The page you read is served from the same domain you see in the address bar.
infrastructure#
This site runs on a home server behind Cloudflare, which necessarily sees connection metadata to route your requests, and keeps routine, short-lived logs for security — as any host on the internet does. Nobody else is in the chain.
your rights#
UK GDPR applies and we treat it as a floor, not a ceiling: access, correction, erasure — email [email protected] and it is done by hand, promptly. There is no data broker web to untangle. Deleting your address from the database is the whole operation.
changes#
If this page ever changes in a way that matters, the date above moves. We have no incentive to be sneaky: the entire business model of this site is that it collects almost nothing.
