Privacy

This blog is written by Dennis de Best and collects as little as it can. Here is everything that happens to your data.

Reading the blog#

• Reading posts sets no cookie. The contact and comment forms use a technical session cookie, needed for their security token, that disappears when you close your browser.
• Visits are counted with Umami, a statistics tool I host myself. The counting script comes from this site, so your browser contacts no other site. Umami uses no cookie and does not store your IP address; it sees the page you read, where you came from, your browser and your country. If your browser sends "Do Not Track", nothing is counted. What you type in the search box is not reported.
• Fonts, images and scripts all come from this site.
• Your choice of the light or the dark theme is kept in your own browser and never sent anywhere.

Comments#

If you write a comment I store your name, your text and, if you give it, your e-mail address, with the date and the post. The e-mail address is never shown: I only use it to answer you in private. A comment is read before it appears. I do not store your IP address. To have a comment removed, write to me through the contact page.

The contact form#

Your name, e-mail address and message are stored so that I can answer you, and I am told about them on my own Mattermost server. They are deleted automatically one year after you sent them.

Videos#

Some posts embed a YouTube video. Nothing is loaded from YouTube until you press play; the video then comes from youtube-nocookie.com, YouTube's privacy-enhanced mode.

Your rights#

You can ask me to show, correct or delete what I keep about you: use the contact page.
