Privacy

Long story short, I believe everyone should know who has your personal data, how it is being collected/stored, and what it is being used for.

However, it is ultimately up to each person to determine how much data they are willing to give to any business/entity.

For the sake of transparency I am using Umami Analytics to anonymously track visits to my site. You can completely block this if you want by either using an AdBlocker like uBlock Origin . Sending "Do Not Track" requests in your browser is supported but not overall it is not recommended to turn this on since it can be used to fingerprint you on the web.
