Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 2026

The short version

This site does not ask for personal information, has no accounts, no newsletter and no comments. It serves static pages. The data collection that happens is what any site with analytics and advertising involves, described below.

Server logs

The hosting provider records standard request information — IP address, user agent, requested URL, timestamp — as part of serving pages. This is used for operating the site and diagnosing problems.

Advertising

This site displays advertising through Google AdSense. Google and its partners may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on prior visits to this and other websites.

You can opt out of personalised advertising through Google Ads Settings, and learn more about how Google uses data at Google's partner sites policy.

Third-party vendors may also serve ads on this site. You can opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies at aboutads.info.

Analytics

Where analytics are used, they measure aggregate traffic patterns — which pages are read, roughly where readers come from. They are not used to identify individuals.

Cookies

This site sets no cookies of its own. Cookies you receive while reading come from the advertising and analytics providers described above. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies; the site works without them.

Your choices

You can block cookies in your browser, use an ad blocker, or opt out of personalised advertising through the links above. None of these will prevent you reading anything here.

Children

This site is written for professional software engineers and is not directed at children. No information is knowingly collected from anyone under 13.

Changes

If this policy changes materially, the date at the top will change with it.
