I respect your privacy and am committed to being transparent about any data collection. This policy explains what information is collected and how it's used. ## Information Collected ### Newsletter Subscription If you subscribe to the newsletter, I collect your email address. This is used solely to send you updates about new blog posts and projects.

This helps me improve content and user experience. The analytics are anonymized and do not track individual users across sites. Analytics may include page paths, referrer origins and paths, browser-provided location, device details, basic performance metrics, scroll depth, outbound link domains, and site interaction events such as recipe filters or project link clicks.

If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, analytics are disabled automatically and no usage data is collected. ### Local browser storage This site stores a temporary light or dark theme preference in your browser's session storage. The preference expires after one hour and is not sent to the server.
