Privacy & Tracking

This website is static. That is, there is no back end software generating and serving the website’s content, nor is there a hosted database collecting information about you as a visitor. The website uses no cookies, nor links to or embeds any tracking technology of any kind – including analytics solutions.

This website is hosted in Norway by Domainnameshop. They do collect data about your visit to my website in their server access logs. Please see their Privacy Policy for more information.

The comments integration with Mastodon is only embedded in those posts that have comments enabled. The feature is implemented in JavaScript and runs locally in your browser. The JavaScript connects to the public API of the Mastodon instance where the blog post was shared, and the API is only contacted once you press the “Load Comments” button. The Mastodon instance may collect information about your data request.

Aside from the comments integration, no other part of this website relies on JavaScript.

The theme and layout of this website was designed by the author, and is not based directly on any other themes. Feel free to snoop around in the generated HTML and CSS and copy things if you want. In particular, JavaScript code related to the comment integration may be of interest.

Aside from my own work, the website embeds design components like images, icons and fonts from other sources. These are listed below.
