No cookies
This site sets no cookies and stores nothing in your browser. The one exception is my own browsers, which keep a small marker so my visits aren't counted; only my password-protected stats page can set it. It has no ads and no visitor profiles, and it doesn't try to work out who you are or where you work.
What it counts
Daily totals of a few things: which site or link a visit came from, which project pages people move to, how far down a page they scroll, how much of a film plays, which files get downloaded, and clicks on email, LinkedIn and GitHub. Each is just a number added to a daily total, with nothing tying it to you. Totals are kept for about 400 days. Vercel, which hosts the site, also gives me anonymous visit and speed statistics that use no cookies.
Ask James
Questions you type into Ask James are sent to Anthropic's Claude to get an answer, and I save each question, with the date, so I can see what people want to know. I don't save the answers, and I don't save your name or IP address with the question. Email addresses, links and long numbers are removed automatically before saving, but that isn't perfect, so please don't type personal details. Saved questions are deleted after about 180 days.
Stopping abuse
Ask James limits how many questions one address can ask, so your IP address is held briefly for that, under an hour, and is then dropped. It isn't linked to your questions.
Opting out
If your browser sends Global Privacy Control, the site's own counts skip you and your Ask James questions aren't saved. Vercel's statistics are separate from this setting.
Questions
Email me at james@jamescronin.dev, including if you want a question you asked removed.
