|

|
- <p><strong>Good cookies</strong> are, for example, the ones that a website uses to store some useful
|
|
|
- information, like the fact that you logged in as a registered user, or decisions you made regarding
|
|
|
- your use of the site, like whether you prefer dark mode or light mode, or whether you are OK with the
|
|
|
- website using performance monitoring cookies. Good cookies are generally useful, helpful, and are
|
|
|
- <strong>not</strong> used to track you across the web and build a profile to be sold to advertisers.</p>
|
|
|
- <p><strong>Bad cookies</strong> cookies do not have to be harmful or problematic, but can be. Such cookies
|
|
|
- can be, for example, tracking cookies used by a performance monitoring system to record how you use
|
|
|
- the website you are on, and can give important information to the manager of the website as to what
|
|
|
- works, what does not work, and how to improve.</p>

|
|
|

|
|
|
+ <p><strong>Analytics</strong>: these are the cookies that allow me to keep track of your steps through this
|
|
|
+ website. Analytics give me information like where you are coming from, what you searched to get here,
|
|
|
+ or what links you followed to get here, what pages you visit on the website, and how you leave the
|
|
|
+ website. Think about this as kind of a visitor counter that knows if you are new or you've been here
|
|
|
+ before, and a little survey at the end of what you liked and didn't like during your visit.</p>
|
|
|
+ <p class="mx-8 sm:mx-24">Because <strong>I care a lot about privacy</strong>, I use <a href="https://matomo.org/">Matomo</a> for analytics, and
|
|
|
+ I host it myself. Matomo is a privacy-conscious analytics platform that doesn't just hoover your data
|
|
|
+ up and sells it to the highest bidder. What is even more interesting is that you can host Matomo yourself
|
|
|
+ on your own server so that you know exactly where the visitors' data is stored.</p>
|
|
|
+ <p><strong>Ads</strong>: at the moment, I am not showing any ads. Jury's still out on what the best ads
|
|
|
+ platform is, but I may end up going back to Google in the future.</p>
