Darge.com is a site about privacy-first analytics, so it would be a poor look to track you in ways I tell other people to avoid. This policy explains, in plain English, what data the site touches and what it deliberately does not.
Last updated: June 2026.
The short version
- No Google Analytics. No advertising trackers. No third-party tracking cookies.
- Privacy-respecting, cookieless analytics are used to count anonymous pageviews — no personal profiles, no cross-site tracking.
- The only personal data I ever hold is what you choose to send me (for example, by emailing me).
- I never sell, rent or trade your data. Ever.
Analytics
To understand which articles are useful, Darge.com uses a privacy-first analytics tool that does not set tracking cookies and does not collect personally identifiable information. It records aggregate, anonymous data such as page URLs, referrer, approximate country, device type and browser. None of this can be used to identify you, and none of it is shared with advertising networks.
Cookies
The site sets no advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. WordPress (the software this site runs on) may set strictly functional cookies if you leave a comment or log in to an account — these store only your comment details or session and are never used to track you across other sites. If you do nothing but read, you can browse the entire site without accepting any non-essential cookies.
If you contact me
When you email [email protected] or reach out on social media, I receive whatever you choose to send — typically your name, email address and message. I use it only to reply to you and, where relevant, to follow up on a collaboration. I keep correspondence only as long as it’s useful and delete it on request.
Comments
If commenting is enabled and you leave a comment, WordPress stores the name, email and (optional) website you provide, along with your IP address and browser user-agent for spam detection. You can ask me to remove your comments and associated data at any time.
Embedded content
Some articles may embed content from other sites (for example a video or an image). Embedded content behaves as if you had visited that other site directly, and those third parties may collect data about you under their own policies. Where possible I avoid heavy third-party embeds for exactly this reason.
Your rights
Under the GDPR and similar laws, you have the right to access, correct or delete any personal data I hold about you, and to object to its processing. Because I collect so little, honouring these requests is usually trivial — just get in touch and I’ll sort it out.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, I’ll update the date at the top. Material changes will be noted on this page. Questions about anything here? Email me — I’m happy to explain.
