Comments

Comments on this site are powered by Giscus, which uses GitHub Discussions as its backend. When you leave a comment, you sign in with your GitHub account. Your comment, GitHub username, and profile picture are stored on GitHub's servers and are subject to GitHub's privacy policy. I do not collect or store any additional data from commenters on my own servers.

Affiliate links and disclaimer

Some posts on this site may contain affiliate links. This means that if you click on a link and make a purchase, I may receive a small commission at no extra cost to you. I only recommend products and services that I have personally used or believe will be genuinely useful.

Affiliate relationships on this site may include, but are not limited to, hosting providers, WordPress plugins, and other digital products. All opinions expressed are my own and are not influenced by any compensation I may receive.

The content on this site is provided for informational purposes only. I do my best to keep everything accurate and up to date, but I make no guarantees about the completeness or accuracy of any information published here. You use any code, advice, or recommendations at your own risk.

This site has a weekly newsletter powered by Mailchimp. When you subscribe, your email address is stored on Mailchimp's servers and is subject to Mailchimp's privacy policy. Your email will only be used to send you the newsletter. I will not share it with anyone else. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link included in every email.

If you support me through Ko-fi, your payment information is handled entirely by Ko-fi and their payment processor (PayPal or Stripe). I do not have access to your payment details. Please refer to Ko-fi's privacy policy for details on how they handle your data.

Cookies and analytics

This site stores your theme preference (light or dark mode) in your browser's localStorage. This is not a cookie and is not sent to any server. It stays on your device.

This site uses Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use the site — things like which pages are visited, how long people stay, and where traffic comes from. Google Analytics sets cookies on your browser and collects data including your IP address, which Google may anonymize depending on your region. This data is processed by Google and is subject to Google's privacy policy.

I use this data solely to improve the site's content and performance. I do not use it for advertising or share it with any other third parties. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on or by using a browser extension that blocks tracking scripts.

Embedded content

Posts on this site may include embedded content from other websites (videos, images, code embeds, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves the same way as if you visited that website directly. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content.

External links

This site contains links to external websites. I am not responsible for the content or privacy practices of those sites. When you click an external link, you leave this site and are subject to the privacy policy of the destination site.

If you are located in the European Union or European Economic Area, you have the right to:

Access the personal data I hold about you.
Request correction of inaccurate data.
Request deletion of your data.
Object to or restrict processing of your data.
Request data portability.

Since comments are stored on GitHub, you can delete your own comments directly through GitHub Discussions. For any other data-related requests, please reach out to me via LinkedIn.
