What I measure

This page used to say I tracked nothing. That stopped being true, so I rewrote it rather than leave it standing.
Last updated 16 August 2026.

The short version. I count how these pages are read — how far people get, which parts hold attention, which links get clicked — so I can make the writing better. I do not know who you are. There is no cookie, no login, no profile, no advertising, and nothing is sold or shared. Every visit is a fresh stranger to me, including yours if you come back tomorrow.

Why I measure anything at all

I write these pages myself and I keep editing them. Without some signal I am guessing about which parts land and which parts lose people. Reading behaviour tells me that. It is the only reason this exists — there is nothing to sell you here.

What is collected

WhatExample
Which page, and how far down you gotthe deepest part reached, as a percentage
How long you were actively readingtime with the tab in front and some activity — background tabs and idle time do not count
Which sections held attentiontime spent in each part of the page
Links you clickedwhether a link was internal navigation or led off this site, and roughly where on the page it was
Broad device shapemobile, tablet or desktop
Broad regionone of eight buckets such as europe — derived from your device's time-zone setting, never from your address
How you arriveda category only: search, social, ai_assistant, direct, internal or other
That text was copied, and how mucha character count — never the text itself
Clicks that did nothingso I can find things that look clickable but are not

What is never collected

Cookies and what is stored on your device

No cookies are set, and nothing is written to your browser's storage while you read. The visit identifier lives in memory and is destroyed when you close the tab — which is also why I cannot tell a returning reader from a new one, and do not try to.

There is exactly one exception, and it only happens if you ask for it: if you use the switch below, a single flag is stored so your choice is remembered next time. That is the only thing this site will ever leave on your device.

Your browser's own signal

If your browser sends Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control, measurement is skipped entirely — before anything loads, without you doing anything here.

Content blockers

Measurement is sent to the analytics provider's own address, not disguised behind mine. If you use a content blocker that blocks it, it will work, and I would rather that than quietly route around your choice. The switch below is the reliable way to be certain.

Who else is involved

Switch it off

This takes effect immediately and applies to every page on this site. It stores one small flag so the choice sticks.
