Privacy & Data

The site sets no cookies. Language, theme, and visual-effect choices stay in your browser; contact details are used to receive and reply to messages.

Updated 23 July 2026
01

No visitor identity

Measurement creates no user ID, session ID, or browser fingerprint, and writes no analytics identifier to the device.

02

Independent counts only

The server counts pages, languages, themes, and events separately by day. It stores no event sequence that could reconstruct a visit.

03

Correspondence stays private

Names, email addresses, and messages enter a private database and reply mailbox. They never become public content.

AGGREGATE MEASUREMENT

Anonymous daily aggregates

Theme, effects level, desktop / tablet / mobile, and browser family
