Privacy
I am generally weary of the way data is tracked and collected across the Internet and use ad-blockers and security software to block unwanted trackers when browsing the web myself. Data on visitors to this website is quite valuable to me however - not just for marketing - but simply to see how you found me and how you use this website. As a compromise I've elected to use Matomo, an open-source alternative to Google Analytics, for user tracking. This has a few advantages:
- It is self hosted. All user data collected is not shared with anyone else and remains on this server only. I am not tracking you across the web, but do note repeat visits to this page.
- I can't guarantee that no-one will ever be able to 'break in' and obtain access to the data collected. Absolute security just doesn't exist. I maintain your anonymity, however, by only logging the first two blocks of your IP address - i.e. 192.168.xxx.xxx - making it impossible to trace you, specifically, from that data.
- I respect 'Do Not Track' preferences of your web-browser. If you activate it in your browser this website doesn't set a tracking cookie of any type. For more information and guides on how to do that see donottrack.us
As per the GDPR you have the right to:
- access all of the data stored about you.
- request erasure of all data stored about you.
- rectification of parts of your data.
Use the contact page to request any of these options.
You also have the right to object: You can opt out by using the option below. Doing so will still install a cookie on your computer. That cookie simply tells this website to not track you or obtain any data relating to your visits from here on out.
The tracking opt-out feature may not work because this site was not loaded over HTTPS. Please reload the page to check if your opt out status changed.
