> what i collect

One thing, anonymous.

Self-hosted analyticsUmami for which pages get visited and roughly where in the world from, plus anonymous Core Web Vitals (load time, layout stability) so I can spot slow pages. Both run on my own server in the EU — nothing goes to a third-party analytics company.

No funnels, no heatmaps, no behavioural profile getting quietly assembled in the background.

> cookies

None.

Zero. The analytics are cookieless by design — Umami hashes your IP and user agent with a salt that rotates every 24 hours, so you can't be tracked across days, let alone across sites, and the raw IP is never stored. The Web Vitals collector sends nothing but a metric and the page path. That's why there's no consent banner pestering you. You're welcome.

> the legal bit

GDPR, briefly.

  • Controller: Tomasz Płocic, Rzeszów, Poland.
  • Processors: Vercel Inc. (site hosting) and Hetzner Online GmbH (the EU server that runs my self-hosted analytics). The analytics software — Umami plus a tiny Web Vitals collector — is operated by me, not a third party.
  • Legal basis: legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) — running a website and seeing if it works.
  • Retention: aggregate stats only; no personal records to delete because none are kept.
  • Your rights: access, correction, deletion, objection, complaint to your DPA. Email me if you want to exercise any of these — though see "Retention" above.

> opting out

Browser-level works.

If you'd still rather not be counted, a tracker-blocking extension (uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, Brave's shield, etc.) will stop the scripts, and the site keeps working without them. Honestly though — with no cookies, no IDs and no raw IP kept, there's nothing tied to you to opt out of.
