Privacy & Cookies
The short version: this is a personal portfolio site. I use analytics to understand how people find and interact with it. I don't sell your data or use it for advertising.
What I collect
When you visit this site, the following services may collect anonymous usage data:
- Google Analytics 4 — Pages viewed, referral source, country, device type, and interactions with labs. Google anonymizes your IP address. No personally identifiable information is collected.
- Vercel Analytics & Speed Insights — Page views and Core Web Vitals performance metrics. Privacy-friendly and cookieless.
- Microsoft Clarity — Session recordings and heatmaps showing how visitors navigate the site. Clarity automatically masks sensitive input fields.
- Hotjar — Heatmaps and session recordings, similar to Clarity. Used to understand which content resonates.
- RB2B — Identifies the company associated with a visitor's IP address (e.g. "someone from Acme Corp visited"). It does not identify individuals by name.
Why I collect it
This site is a portfolio to showcase engineering leadership and decision-making. Analytics help me understand which content is most useful and how visitors find the site — whether from a LinkedIn post, a direct message, or a resume link. That's it.
Cookies
Some of the services above set cookies to distinguish unique visitors and track sessions. These are first-party analytics cookies — not advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.
| Cookie | Service | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| _ga, _ga_* | Google Analytics | Distinguish unique visitors |
| _clck, _clsk | Microsoft Clarity | Session tracking for replays |
| _hj* | Hotjar | Session recording and heatmaps |
How to opt out
- Browser settings — Most browsers let you block third-party cookies or enable "Do Not Track" in privacy settings.
- Google Analytics opt-out — Install the GA opt-out browser extension.
- Ad blockers — Extensions like uBlock Origin block most analytics scripts by default.
Data sharing
I do not sell, rent, or share visitor data with anyone. Analytics data is only accessible to me through the dashboards of the services listed above. Each service has its own privacy policy governing how they process data on their end.
