1. Introduction
At Unicode & Writes, I believe in privacy-first web development. This website does not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any other third-party tracking cookies that follow you across the internet.
Instead, I use a custom, self-hosted analytics solution that prioritizes your privacy while helping me understand how my content is consumed.
2. What Data We Collect
We collect minimal data necessary to improve the website experience:
- Page Views: Which pages you visit and the timestamp.
- Device Information: Browser type, operating system, and device type (Mobile/Desktop/Tablet) to ensure the site renders correctly.
- Approximate Location: Country and City derived from your IP address. We do not store your full IP address. It is anonymized immediately after determining location.
- Referrer: The website that linked you to us (e.g., Google, Twitter, LinkedIn).
3. How We Use Data
- To see which articles are most popular.
- To optimize the site for the devices my audience uses.
- To detect and prevent malicious bots or DDoS attacks.
4. Cookies & Local Storage
We do not use cookie consent banners because we do not use invasive tracking cookies. We rely on a singe Local Storage item (`analytics-session-id`) to associate page views within a single session. You can clear this at any time using the tools below or your browser settings.
5. Your Rights (Privacy Tools)
In the spirit of transparency, you can view exactly what data is stored for your current session and delete it instantly from our server.
No Active Tracking Session
No analytics session found for your current browser. You are not being tracked or have cleared your data.
