Analytics privacy

I use basic website analytics to understand which pages and projects are useful. Analytics records page paths, approximate active time, browser and device type, country when available, referring website, campaign tags and selected actions such as opening a project or successfully sending a message.

Analytics does not record your message, email address, full IP address, URL query strings or full outbound URLs. Random visitor and session IDs are stored in this browser’s local storage. Visitor IDs rotate after 90 days; sessions restart after 30 minutes without activity. Visitors are counted separately on each website.

Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control are respected. You can also disable future collection for this browser below. Browser storage restrictions and content blockers may prevent analytics from running. These preferences do not affect using this portfolio or contacting me.

Optional Google Analytics

With your permission, Google Analytics independently measures page visits on this public portfolio. It uses browser identifiers and may set cookies. Requests to Google include technical information such as your IP address and device details. This integration removes query strings, fragments and referrers from the page views it sends, and does not send your contact messages, email or phone number.

Google's tag stays unloaded until you agree. You can withdraw below; existing browser opt-out, Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control also disable it. It is excluded from the admin area. Google handles data under its privacy policy. Withdrawing permission prevents future collection; it does not erase previously collected reports.

Analytics is separate from messages you choose to send through the contact form. A work enquiry includes the reply email you provide; a quick note does not require one.
