Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Analytics

In order to provide the best experience on my websites, I use a variety of analytics platforms, such as Google Analytics, Statcounter, my custom-build stats.bluebrad.net, and other third-party analytics services. My goal is to gather valuable data to enhance the user experience while ensuring that your personal information is protected.

As part of my commitment to privacy, I meticulously limit the scope of data tracked by these platforms, going beyond just complying with privacy laws. This careful approach is why most of my websites do not display cookie notifications, as I strive to create a seamless browsing experience for users.

I know the importance of safeguarding your PII (Personal Identifying Information), and in the event any third-party analytic tracker is found to be misbehaving or compromising user privacy, I will take prompt action to remove it. By continually monitoring and refining my analytics practices, I aim to have the right balance between an excellent service and respecting a users privacy.
