This is the Privacy Policy for Statamic, accessible at http://localhost
This is a personal blog. I take your privacy seriously and aim to be transparent about what data is collected and why, in line with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.
1. Who I Am
Site Owner: Statamic
Contact Email: [email protected]
2. What Data I Collect and Why
This site collects limited data to understand how it's used and to improve content.
a. Cookies and Consent
When you visit this site, you are shown a cookie popup giving you the choice to Accept All Cookies or Accept Only Necessary Cookies.
Necessary cookies are required for the basic functioning of the site and do not require consent.
Optional cookies, such as analytics and third-party embeds (e.g. YouTube), are only activated if you choose “Accept All.”
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time using your browser settings or a cookie preference tool (if implemented).
3. Analytics (Google Analytics)
If you choose "Accept All", Google Analytics will be enabled to collect anonymous usage data, such as:
Pages viewed
Time spent on site
Browser and device info
IP address (anonymised)
This helps me understand which content is useful and how the site performs.
Google Analytics does not personally identify you.
4. Embedded YouTube Videos
Some pages on this site include embedded YouTube videos.
If you accept all cookies, YouTube (a Google service) may set third-party cookies and track your usage. This may include:
Viewing behavior
IP address
Whether you are logged in to a Google account
To avoid this, choose "Accept Necessary" — embedded videos will be disabled or privacy-enhanced until consent is given.

Legitimate Interests: For the site's core functionality.
