Effective date: January 1, 2026
This site is a personal blog. Below is a description of what data is collected when you visit and how it is used.
What data is collected
The site itself does not collect, store, or process any personal data of its visitors. The site does not use:
- web analytics or visitor counters (Google Analytics, Yandex Metrica, etc.);
- advertising trackers or pixels;
- tracking cookies;
- data input forms.
Data collected by the hosting provider
The site is hosted on Vercel. With each request, Vercel automatically records standard server logs, which may include:
- visitor’s IP address;
- date and time of the request;
- requested URL;
- browser and operating system type (User-Agent);
- server response code. This data is processed by Vercel in accordance with its own privacy policy: vercel.com/legal/privacy-policy. The site author has no real-time access to these logs and does not use them to identify visitors.
Cookies and local storage
The site uses one functional cookie and browser localStorage exclusively to save user preferences. This data is not transmitted anywhere and is not used for tracking.
| Storage | Name | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cookie | user-locale | Stores selected interface language (EN/RU) | 1 year |
| localStorage | user-locale | Backup of language preference | Until browser data is cleared |
| localStorage | (theme) | Stores selected theme (light/dark) | Until browser data is cleared |
The user-locale cookie is set only when the user explicitly selects a language. It is classified as strictly necessary and does not require separate consent.
Data stored in localStorage never leaves your browser and is not accessible to the server.
RSS feed
The site provides an RSS feed. Subscribing to the feed is done through a third-party application or service of the user’s choice — their privacy policy applies independently of this site.
External links
Blog articles may contain links to third-party resources. The author is not responsible for the privacy policies of those sites.
Changes to this policy
If the terms of data processing change materially, the date in the header of this document will be updated.
