privacy policy
Most privacy policies are written by lawyers who are paid by the word to describe, in exhaustive and soul-crushing detail, exactly how much of your personal life is being siphoned into databases you’ll never see. This is not one of those.
This site collects no data. This is not a philosophical position or a marketing strategy. It is a technical fact, in the same way that a rock does not collect stamps.
There are no cookies. There is no JavaScript. There are no analytics. There is no tracking pixel cunningly disguised as a 1x1 transparent image, which is a practice that should really have been beneath us as a species.
I don’t know you’re here. I don’t know what you read. I won’t know when you leave. In many ways, visiting this site is like sneaking into an empty library at midnight, except the lights are already on and nobody is watching the door because there is no door and there is no nobody. (This metaphor got away from me slightly.)
This is how the web should have stayed.
technical details (for the skeptical)
The skeptical are, in my experience, the only people worth talking to.
- JavaScript: 0 bytes. Not “minimal.” Not “only what’s necessary.” Zero. The number before one. The amount of dragons in your kitchen. (Probably.)
- Cookies: none. Not even the good kind with chocolate chips.
- Analytics: no Google Analytics, no Plausible, no Fathom, no clever self-hosted alternative that “respects privacy” while still counting you. No nothing.
- Fonts: system fonts. Your computer already has them. Nobody needs to be told about it.
- External resources: none. Every byte came from this server and nowhere else. No CDN. No third-party anything.
- HTTPS: yes, obviously.
- Logs: none. The server forgets you were here before you do.
