This site has no sign-up, log-in, membership, comments or subscriptions, and never asks for your name, email or other personal details.
Hosting
This site is hosted and delivered by Cloudflare.

Cookies and analytics
This site uses the two services below to understand how it is used.
Google Analytics 4
Used to see which pages are read. It records only basic information such as the pages viewed, language, content type and clicks on links within the site. It does not send your search terms, name, email or precise location; Google signals and ad personalisation are turned off; user-level data is kept for 2 months.
Google Analytics sets cookies in your browser to tell separate visits apart.
Whether you are asked for consent depends on where you are
European Economic Area, United Kingdom and Switzerland: you are asked for consent first. Analytics is not loaded before you agree, and stays off if you decline.
Everywhere else: analytics runs without a prompt.
If your location cannot be determined: analytics stays off.
To decide this, the site only matches a country code against the rules above. It does not obtain or keep your city, coordinates or IP address.
Wherever you are, you can turn analytics off or back on at any time under “Your analytics preference” further down this page. Your choice is stored in your browser.
Google Search Console
Used to see how this site performs in Google Search, such as which search terms bring readers here. It places no code or cookies on this site and only provides aggregated data from Google Search.
Site search
Site search runs in your browser. Your search terms are not recorded by this site or sent to any third party.
External links
Articles link to sources on other websites. Once you leave this site, that website’s privacy policy applies.
Contacting me
If you write to me, your email address and message are used only to reply to you and are not shared with anyone.
