Privacy
There's no sign-up, and I don't ask for your name, email, or phone number.
Below are the tools I use for visit stats and fixing the site, and what stays in your browser.
Tools
- Cloudflare Web Analytics
- Counts how often each page is viewed and where visitors came from.
It uses no cookies or browser storage and doesn't single out individual visitors. - Microsoft Clarity
- Records clicks, scrolling, and on-screen movement to find spots that are hard to use.
Input fields are always masked, and numbers and email addresses are masked too.
Microsoft keeps recordings for 30 days and heatmaps for up to 9 months. - Comments (giscus)
- Blog comments are written with a GitHub account and stored in GitHub Discussions.
When you sign in, that session is saved in this browser. - YouTube
- Videos on song pages load from youtube-nocookie.com only when you press play.
Video thumbnails on the home and channels pages load straight from YouTube's image server (i.ytimg.com).

What I don't do
I don't use what's collected for ads or sell it to anyone.
Search (⌘K) runs in your browser on this site's own index and doesn't send your query to another service.
How to opt out
If you block cookies in your browser, Clarity sets none, and the site works the same.
Visitors from the EEA, the UK, and Switzerland get no Clarity cookies without consent.
