Privacy policy

Thank you for visiting my website!

Your privacy is very important to me and this policy will help you understand what information I collect, how I use it and what choices you have about it. I promise to keep it short.

I collect information in a few different ways

  1. Log data. Whenever you access my website, my server records some technical information ("log data"), including information that your browser automatically sends any time you visit a webpage. This log data includes your IP address, browser type and settings, the date and time of your request, cookie data and device data.
  2. Cookie data. I use "cookies" (i.e. small text files sent by your computer each time you visit my website) for essential and non-essential purposes: for protection against spam and security attacks (essential), for saving your preferences (essential) and for collecting statistics about how visitors like you engage with my content (non-essential). You shouldn't feel pressured to accept all my cookies, that's why I offer you control over the use of non-essential cookies in the "Choices you have about your information" section below.
  3. Device information. In addition to log data, I may collect information about the device you’re using when visiting my website, including the type of device, operating system, settings and crash data that helps me understand when something breaks.

What I do with the information I collect

I use the information I collect to improve my website's performance and to understand my audience. I do not sell any of your data to third parties. However, if you agree to my use of analytical cookies for collecting visitors statistics, you also agree for some data to be sent to the providers of those analytics services. Please make sure to read their privacy policies (linked below) to understand how they are using that data before agreeing to my use of such cookies. The analytics services I currently work with are:

  • Google Analytics, for providing website traffic reports (privacy policy)
  • YouTube, for providing statistics on my embedded videos (privacy policy)
  • Vimeo, for providing statistics on my embedded videos (privacy policy)
  • SoundCloud, for providing statistics on my embedded sounds (privacy policy)

Choices you have about your information

Most of the information I collect (e.g. log data, essential cookies, device information data) is required in order to provide you with a reliable website that works in the way you expect. By continuing to browse around you agree to such collection.

Some information (e.g. non-essential cookies) is only optional for me, and I will collect it only if you give your explicit consent. You can use the button below at any point in time to give or withdraw your consent.
