Your visit

Privacy & analytics.

A few straightforward notes about what this site measures and what you can control.

Optional Google Analytics

This site uses Google Analytics 4 to understand which pages people visit and which shared links bring them here. The Google tag loads only after you choose “Allow analytics.” Choosing “No thanks” keeps it off. You can browse the whole site either way.

When enabled, analytics can include page visits, campaign source, browser and device information, and approximate location. Enhanced measurement is enabled, so supported interactions such as searches, scrolls, outbound clicks, and file downloads may also be measured. Advertising personalization and Google signals are disabled in the site’s tag. This site does not use session recordings.

Your choice

Your analytics choice is saved in this browser’s local storage. Use “Analytics choices” in the footer to change it. Declining after previously allowing analytics removes this site’s Google Analytics cookies and reloads the page with the tag disabled. Analytics cookies are configured to expire 90 days after their last update.

The site also respects browser Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control signals by keeping the Google tag off.

Videos

Some articles include video files hosted on this site. These do not load a third-party player. Shared videos use LinkedIn’s player only after you select “Load video player.” That connects your browser to LinkedIn, whose privacy and cookie policies then apply. You can also follow the original video link directly.

Your display preference

The light or dark appearance you choose is saved in this browser’s local storage so it stays consistent as you browse.

Referral links

Links such as /r/linkedin add campaign information to the destination URL. This identifies where a link was shared, rather than identifying an individual visitor. No separate referral cookie or visitor database is used. Campaign information is measured only when optional analytics is enabled.

Page addresses and site hosting

The initial page address supplied by this site’s tag includes the path and recognized campaign parameters, with unrelated query parameters and fragments excluded. Automatic measurement events may also include addresses, search terms, and details of the interaction. Please keep personal or sensitive information out of search terms and referral links.
