Privacy
A note on privacy.
This is a small, personal publication. I want to be clear about the few tools that help me understand which reflections resonate — and how you stay in control of them.
Analytics tools
The website may use Google Analytics to understand general traffic — pages visited, referral sources, approximate location, device type, and how readers engage with the site.
The website may use Microsoft Clarity to understand how visitors interact with pages, through tools such as heatmaps and anonymised session recordings.
Consent comes first
These tools remain inactive until you accept analytics cookies through the small banner that appears on your first visit. If you decline, nothing is loaded and no analytics data is collected.
Email & subscription
If you subscribe, your email address is stored to send the confirmation email, the welcome note, and future essays. The Notebook uses double opt-in: nothing is sent to your inbox until you confirm through the link in the confirmation message. Every email includes a one-click unsubscribe link, and unsubscribing removes you from the list entirely. Your email is never sold or shared.
Reflections & correspondence
When you send a reflection through the site, your name, email (if provided) and message are stored privately and read personally. Reflections are not published without your explicit permission.
Editorial dashboard
A private, password-protected editorial area is used to read subscriber and reflection activity. Access is restricted to the author. No third party has access to this data.
Not about identifying you
Analytics information is used only to understand which essays are read and how the site is working. It is not used to personally identify individual readers, and it is never sold or shared.
Changing your mind
You may reject or withdraw analytics consent at any time by clearing this site's storage in your browser, or through your browser's cookie settings for this domain. On your next visit, the small consent banner will reappear so you can choose again.
Questions
If you have any question about this notice or your data, please write to me directly — every note is read personally.
