Privacy
This site is a set of static pages with no accounts, comment forms or newsletter. We use Google Analytics to understand visits and how readers use the site. Here is what that involves.
What we collect
We use Google Analytics to measure page views, visits, traffic sources and interactions such as scrolling and clicks on links to other sites. Google Analytics uses cookies to distinguish browsers and visits, and receives information such as the pages visited, referring site, browser and device details. We review reports to improve the site.
Our Analytics tag disables Google signals and advertising personalization. We do not send names or email addresses to Analytics. The search box works inside your browser; its search text is not sent to us by the search feature.

What the host logs
The site is served by Cloudflare, which keeps standard web server logs (the address a request came from, the page requested, the time, and the browser's user-agent string) for security and to keep the site up. Those logs are Cloudflare's, held underCloudflare's privacy policy, and we do not use them to identify visitors.
Vendor links
When you follow a link to a vendor's site, you leave this one. Some of those links carry an affiliate tag, which tells the vendor the visit came from here so that a commission can be paid if you sign up; the tag does not identify you to us, and what the vendor collects from then on is covered by the vendor's own policy. Theaffiliate disclosure says which links these are.
If you email the desk, we keep the message for as long as it is useful for answering it and for correcting the page it was about. We do not add you to any list.
Changes
If the site starts collecting anything it does not collect today, this page will say so before it happens. Questions go to the contact page.
