Analytics & Measurement
To understand how visitors engage with content and maintain site performance, this site uses two analytics solutions:
1. Self-Hosted Rybbit Analytics (Privacy-First)
I run a self-hosted instance of Rybbit. Rybbit is a privacy-first analytics platform designed with strict data privacy principles:
- No IP Tracking: Rybbit does not store, log, or track your IP address.
- No Personal Identifiable Information (PII): No personal data or cross-site tracking identifiers are collected.
- First-Party & Self-Hosted: All telemetry data resides solely on my self-hosted infrastructure and is never shared with, sold to, or accessible by third parties.
2. Google Analytics
I use Google Analytics (G-2N9VE1LSYK) to evaluate general website traffic and user trends. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect standard internet log information and aggregate behavioral metrics.
You can prevent Google Analytics from recognizing you on return visits by disabling cookies in your browser or by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

This website may display advertisements served by Google AdSense and other third-party ad networks.
