Scope

All content and resources served under https://ichard26.github.io/ are subject to this privacy statement unless noted otherwise.

For the time being, I will not embed content from social media platform like Twitter or YouTube directly. Instead, I will copy the relevant text and make sure to link back to the source to help preserve your privacy.

What is collected and not?

This website does not use any cookies and all data used for analytics is anonymized. Please note as this website is hosted and served by GitHub Pages (GitHub, Inc.) which does log IP addresses regardless whether you are signed into a GitHub account or not.

Cookies & localStorage

While no first-party or third-party cookies are used, your browser may report the presence of one “cookie”. This “cookie” is really an entry in your browser’s localStorage. The data stored is purely used for functionality including:

  1. Your light/dark theme preference -> so it can persist across reloads

  2. Your last vertical position -> so if you reload the same page it will autojump to your former location

  • Uses third-party cookies: The GitHub REST API sets third-party cookies upon a request sadly

History

  • February 26, 2023: microanalytics.io discontinued their free plan so all web analytics have been removed. That also means that https://ichard26.github.io/ghstats/ now falls under this privacy statement without any exceptions (it never had microanalytics.io enabled).

  • May 14, 2022: actually, microanalytics.io, or specifically https://microanalytics.io/js/script.js, doesn’t set cookies if loaded into an external webpage. Cookies are only set if any resources under https://microanalytics.io are accessed directly. Therefore, this website does not use third-party cookies (unless you access https://microanalytics.io directly beforehand). Although, Next PR Number still has third-party cookies though as the GitHub API sets its own. Hopefully I finally got this right. Cookies are hard.

  • May 13, 2022: turns out that GitHub (or at least their API) and microanalytics set their own cookies, so sadly third-party cookies do exist :(

  • May 13, 2022: Next PR Number (https://ichard26.github.io/next-pr-number/) now uses microanalytics.io in accordance in this privacy statement
