What I collect
One thing: Google Analytics 4 (GA4), and only after you accept the cookie banner. It tells me which pages and guides get read, so I write more of what’s useful and drop what isn’t. IP addresses are anonymised, and I don’t run advertising, remarketing, or cross-site tracking.
If you reject the banner, no analytics cookies are set and nothing is sent to Google.
I don’t collect names, emails, or accounts on this site. There’s no login, no newsletter signup, no contact form.
Cookies
Set only after you accept:
| Cookie | Set by | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga | Google Analytics | Distinguishes one visitor from another (anonymous ID) | 2 years |
_ga_<id> | Google Analytics | Keeps session state for GA4 | 2 years |
Necessary, always-on cookies: only the small record of your own consent choice, stored in your browser so the banner doesn’t nag you on every page. That’s it.
Legal basis
Analytics cookies run on your consent (GDPR Article 6(1)(a)): denied by default until you accept, via Google Consent Mode. You can withdraw consent any time (see below); withdrawing clears the _ga cookies.
How long data is kept
GA4 data is retained on Google’s side per their analytics retention settings (currently the standard window). The cookies themselves expire as listed above, or sooner if you clear them or reject consent.
Booking a call
The “Book a discovery call” buttons open a Cal.com scheduler. When you actually open it, Cal.com sets its own cookies and processes what you enter to book the meeting, covered by Cal.com’s own privacy policy. Until you open it, nothing loads.
Your rights
Under the GDPR you can ask to access, correct, or delete your data, object to processing, or request portability. Since this site holds nothing that identifies you, there’s usually little to act on. But email [email protected] and I’ll handle it. You can also lodge a complaint with the Belgian Data Protection Authority (gegevensbeschermingsautoriteit.be).
Changing your choice
Use Cookie settings in the footer to reopen the banner and accept or reject analytics whenever you like.
