This website uses cookies to store anonymous data related to your experience here.
The website sets a cookie which stores if you've been here before, and if you click "I accept" in the cookie consent box, so that you will not see that message again. In the future other things might also be stored, but these things will be strictly to improve your website experience, and not used to track or identify you in any way, nor used for advertising purposes.
Anonymous tracking of your actions on the site itself is also being done. This is to help with analyzing traffic and optimizing the website based on that data. Basically it is used to see which parts of the website is being used the most and similar statistical information.
This is primarily done using Google Analytics, which a lot of the sites you visit are probably also using.
Furthermore the "anonymizeIp" functionality of Google Analytics is being used, which means that your exact IP address is not being stored.
"Remarketing" and "Advertising Reporting Features" are also both turned off.
You can read Google's privacy policy for more information.
Anonymous tracking is also done through Facebook, which means that no profile information is gathered or available to be viewed. This is done for use with possible advertising on Facebook.
What data is being collected
Using Google Analytics certain actions are being anonymously tracked, but no personal information is being gathered. The following data is being collected.
- The pages you visit on this website
- Amount of time spent on these pages
- Clicks on links to external websites
- What website you came from, if you clicked a link on an external website to get to this website
Analytics data is stored for 14 months.
Social media related actions are also tracked for analyzing traffic and making optimizations, which again is very common practice on most websites these days.
No social media profile information will be sent to this website unless you explicitly allow it.
Sharing a page from this website using the social media buttons will not send any information back to this website.
What personal information is being stored
No personal information is collected or stored by this website without your consent.
Using the contact form you will give your name and e-mail address. This information is strictly used to write back to you within the given context of your message, and your information will not be given or sold to any third parties, nor used for advertising purposes. You will also not find yourself subscribed to any mailing lists by supplying this information.
The messages are stored on a mail server and are only accessible by a single person; me (Amend Infinity).
The short version
Your privacy is respected and none of the tracking used on this website can identify you. The sole purpose of the tracking used on this website is to understand how users find and use this website. You will never find your information used in a way you didn't agree to when you gave the information.
I wouldn't want my information used in a way I didn't agree to, so neither would I do that to anyone using the website. I would never take advantage of you trusting me with your information, as that would be abusing my fans, which is completely unacceptable to me.
Explaining it a bit further
To explain how the tracking on this site is being used, it is important to note that you as a singular entity in the tracking data are not really important. There is nobody looking at what you specifically are doing, because it is just not important what one single person is doing.
It is however valuable what a lot of people are doing. As with any kind of statistic you need a big sample size to have valuable data to work from.
When there is enough data it can be used to see how users navigate the website. It can show how long they stay on a page. Which pages are popular - and which are not. Which links are being used. If they watched an embedded video or played some embedded music. And a whole lot more.
This all adds up to really valuable information in understanding how users use the website, and it provides a solid foundation for understanding what is working and what is not, so that improvements can be made, creating a better experience when using the website.
At the end of the day the data is just a huge pile of numbers, and while it can sometimes be worthwhile to look closer at a specific user, there is no way to know who that user is.
