Privacy policy

What this website collects when you visit, who receives it, and how to say no.

Last updated: October 14, 2026.

In short

Analytics, only if you accept

The first time you visit, a bar at the top of the page asks whether this website may use Google Analytics cookies. Analytics serves a single purpose: knowing which pages people read, so the website can improve.

If you decline, or do not answer, the website does not load anything from Google, sets no analytics cookies, and sends nothing to Google Analytics.

If you accept, your browser loads Google Analytics, which records:

Google Analytics does not record your name or email address, and this website never gives them to Google. According to Google, it uses your IP address to estimate your location and then discards it, without storing it.

Advertising features are turned off. Google signals, which links visits to Google accounts, is turned off too.

Cookies

If you accept, Google Analytics sets cookies on this website's address. These cookies do not hold your name, your email address, or anything you type.

How long the data is kept

According to Google Analytics documentation, detailed records of each visit are deleted after 2 months. Totals, such as the number of visits to each page in a month, are kept.

Who receives it

Google receives the data, as the provider of Google Analytics, and may process it in the United States and other countries. Google's use of it is covered by the Google Privacy Policy and by how Google uses information from sites that use its services.

The reports are visible only to the people who run this website.

Why it is allowed

Analytics runs only with your consent, and you can withdraw it at any time. Withdrawing consent does not affect the visits counted before.

Your choice

You can change your answer here at any time. It is stored in your browser for 13 months, then the website asks again.

When you decline, the website deletes the Google Analytics cookies it can reach. You may also:

Declining also gives your browser a new random number if you accept again later, so earlier visits are no longer linked to you. They are deleted at the end of the 2 months above.

What the website stores in your browser

Besides the analytics cookies, the website stores only your answer to the analytics question in your browser, with the date you gave it. It never leaves your browser.

Search runs in your browser. The search index downloads from this website, and the matching happens on your device. No search service receives your words.

Your search words do appear in the page address (for example, /search/?q=outcome). So, like the rest of the address, they are part of the request to the host, and part of the page view in Google Analytics if you accepted analytics cookies.

Hosting

The website is hosted by GitHub Pages. To deliver each page, GitHub receives your request: your IP address, the address of the page, and what your browser says about itself. GitHub logs visitors' IP addresses for security, whether they have a GitHub account or not. The GitHub General Privacy Statement covers that data.

Contributions and discussions

Contributing happens in the project's public repository on GitHub, under your GitHub account. What you post there is public, and the GitHub General Privacy Statement covers your account.

If your contribution changes the website, your name, and a link if you give one, may appear on the Contributing page. You may ask to stay anonymous.

Pages on this website link to other websites, such as sources and related frameworks. Those websites have their own privacy policies, which this page does not cover.

Children

This website is written for adults working in teams and organizations. It does not knowingly collect data from children.

Changes to this policy

When this policy changes, the date at the top of this page changes with it. If a change collects more data, the website asks for your consent again.

Questions

Ask in the project's Q&A discussions. Discussions are public, so do not include personal details in your question.
