Short version: I count visits on my own server so I can see which pages are useful and where people come from. I don't run ads, I don't use third-party trackers, and I never sell or share anything. You choose how much I can remember about you, and you can change it here at any time.
What gets recorded
- 01The page you opened and its title, and the time.
- 02Where you came from, as a name like Google or LinkedIn and the address of the page that linked to this site (without anything after the "?"), plus any campaign tag in the link.
- 03Roughly where you are: your country and nearest city, worked out from your connection by Cloudflare. Not your address.
- 04Your device type (phone, tablet or desktop), browser and operating system family, your browser language, the width of your window and your time zone (for example Asia/Kathmandu).
- 05How long you stayed and how far you scrolled on each page.
- 06Which links and buttons you click, such as WhatsApp, email, the CV or an outbound link, so I know which pages lead to a message.
What is never recorded
- 01Your IP address. It is used for a moment to build the anonymous code below, then discarded.
- 02Anything you type while browsing. Your name, email or phone number are saved only if you give them to me yourself, in the contact form or the AI-visibility checker (see below).
- 03Anything about what you do on other websites.
The two ways I recognise a visitor
Anonymous (the default). No cookie. Your visit gets a code made from your connection, your browser and today's date, mixed with a private secret. The code changes every day, so nobody can be followed from one day to the next, and it cannot be turned back into who you are.
If you accept. One small cookie, aj_v, holds a random number with no meaning outside this site. It lasts 180 days and lets me see that a visitor came back, for example after reading a case study. A second cookie, aj_c, just remembers your choice.
Your controls
- 01Change your mind with the buttons above. They work immediately.
- 02Delete my data removes every record tied to your cookie and clears it. Anonymous daily codes can't be matched back to you, so they simply expire.
- 03Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control are honoured automatically: if your browser sends either, nothing is recorded.
How long it is kept, and who can see it
Records are deleted after 400 days. Only I can see them, behind a password, in a private admin page. The data sits in a database on Cloudflare, which also serves this site. Cloudflare's own privacy-friendly analytics, which uses no cookies, may also run on pages.
The free AI-visibility checker
The AI-visibility checker asks for your email address. I keep that email, the website address you checked and its score for one year, so I can send you a follow-up about your result and see how the tool is used. I use the email only to reply to you about that: no newsletters, and I never sell or share it. A hashed code that limits each visitor to 10 checks an hour is cleared after a week. Write to me and I'll delete your email whenever you ask.
The contact form
If you send a message with the Contact button or the contact page, I keep your name, your WhatsApp number or email, your message and the page you were on, so I can reply. Messages are deleted after two years, or sooner if you ask. I may also get an instant alert on my phone with the same text. A hashed code limits each visitor to a few messages an hour and is cleared after a week.
