This is a small publication with no accounts, no comments, no contact forms and no newsletter, so there is very little to say — but here it is.
What this site collects
- No analytics or advertising. The site doesn’t run analytics, tracking pixels or ads, and doesn’t set cookies for visitors. WordPress sets cookies only for the people who log in to administer the site.
- Server logs. Like almost every website, the hosting provider (IONOS) records standard request logs — things like IP address, browser type, the page requested and the time — for security and to keep the site running.
- Fonts are served from this site, not loaded from a third-party font service.
Embedded video
Episode pages will embed videos from YouTube once they exist. An embedded YouTube video can collect data and set cookies the same way YouTube does when you visit it directly, under Google’s privacy policy.
Sharing
Nothing collected here is sold or shared with anyone for marketing.
