Privacy

No cookies · no tracking · no analytics.

What this site does and doesn't do with your visit — the short, honest version.

POLICY

How your visit is handled

Plain English. Last reviewed 2026-06-04.

The promise

No cookies. No JavaScript tracking. No third-party analytics.

Nothing about your visit is sent to any other company, and nothing is shared or sold. The pages don't phone home.

What's recorded

What the server records

Like every web server, it keeps short-lived access logs. For each request that means:

  • the page requested
  • the time of the request
  • the referring link, if any
  • the browser type
  • a truncated IP address — the last part is removed, so it identifies a country, not a person

From these, only aggregate, country-level visit counts are kept. Per-visitor IP detail is disabled.

Why & legal basis

Why this is collected

To keep the site running and secure, and to see roughly which guides get read and from where.

BasisLegitimate interest · GDPR Art. 6(1)(f) SecurityRecital 49

No consent banner is needed because there are no cookies and no client-side tracking.

Retention

How long anything is kept

Raw logs are rotated and deleted within about 7 days. Only the anonymized aggregates are kept longer.

Your rights

Your rights

You can ask what's held about you, or to have it removed — though with truncated IPs and aggregate counts there's effectively nothing that identifies you individually.

To exercise your GDPR rights, reach the site operator via the source repository.

When this site says "no tracking," it means no client-side tracking and no cookies. The only record is anonymized, short-lived server logs.
