Privacy Policy

This privacy policy outlines how we handle your data when you visit this website.

Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics to collect non-personally identifiable information. Google Analytics collects information such as:

• Browser type and version
• Operating system
• Pages visited on this website
• Time and date of access
• The website that referred you to this site
• Your approximate geographic location (country/city level)

This information is aggregated and used to understand how visitors use the website, helping to improve the site's content and functionality. No personally identifiable information is collected or stored.

Cookies & Local Storage

This website uses your browser's local storage (not cookies) to remember your preferences such as theme selection (dark/light mode), analytics consent choice, and cached data for faster page loads. This data stays on your device and is never sent to any server.

If you accept analytics, Google Analytics may set cookies on your device to distinguish users and track sessions. These cookies are only placed after you give explicit consent via the banner displayed on your first visit. You can withdraw consent at any time by clearing your browser's local storage.

Social Media

This website does not embed any social media trackers or widgets. Share buttons on publication pages open a new window on the respective platform — no data is sent to those platforms until you actively click a share link. Once you leave this site, the privacy policies of those platforms apply:

• X (Twitter) Privacy Policy
• LinkedIn Privacy Policy
• Facebook Privacy Policy

Third-Party Links

This website contains links to external websites. I am not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these external sites. I encourage you to review the privacy policies of any external websites you visit.

Data Security

This website is hosted on secure servers and uses HTTPS encryption to protect data transmission. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure, and I cannot guarantee absolute security.

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate data
