Privacy & analytics
I am Auss Abbood, the operator of this personal website. You can contact me at contact@aussabbood.com about privacy or your information.
Traffic analytics
I use Cloudflare Web Analytics to understand traffic trends and which pages are useful, and to improve the website’s content and performance. I use aggregate reports, without advertising, visitor profiles or tracking people across websites.
Cloudflare collects page and referrer information, browser and device information, approximate country, and page performance measurements. Its analytics beacon does not use cookies, browser storage or fingerprinting to identify visitors. Cloudflare receives your IP address when your browser connects to its service; Cloudflare says it discards that address at the receiving data centre and does not store it in its core analytics databases or logs. Processing can take place outside the UK. See Cloudflare’s explanation of its analytics data handling and its privacy policy for details.
Cloudflare says it keeps unsampled beacon data for seven days and then retains a reduced dataset for longer-term reporting; reports are available for the previous six months. This reporting window is not a promise that all underlying data is deleted after six months. See Cloudflare’s retention and reporting explanation.
Your analytics choice
You can turn off analytics without affecting access to this website. This page never loads the analytics beacon, even when you enable analytics.
The controls below require JavaScript. Without JavaScript, analytics do not run.
Your choice is saved in this browser’s local storage solely to remember your preference, until you change it or clear site data. It applies to this website in this browser; other browsers and devices need their own choice. Clearing site data resets analytics to enabled. Other open pages of this website reload when you disable analytics. Measurements already sent cannot be withdrawn through this control. If your browser prevents reading local storage, the website does not load analytics.
Other website services
GitHub Pages hosts this site. Your browser also contacts external providers to load resources such as fonts and scripts. These providers receive connection information, including your IP address, when serving those resources. See GitHub’s privacy statement. The site’s light/dark theme preference is also saved in your browser’s local storage.
Questions and rights
Where I process personal data for website analytics, my lawful basis is my legitimate interest in understanding and improving this website. You can object using the controls above or contact me with privacy questions and requests concerning your personal data, including access or deletion where applicable. You can also raise a concern with the UK Information Commissioner’s Office.
