What this site records about your visit

Short version: I count page views without cookies, on a server I run myself, and I only learn your email address if you give it to me. The details are below.

Page counts

I count page views with Umami, open-source analytics software that I host myself on AWS. No analytics company receives your visit.

A page view records the address and title of the page, the domain of the site that sent you here, your browser, operating system, device type, screen size and language, and the country, region and city estimated from your IP address. The IP address itself is not stored.

Anything after the question mark in an address is discarded, except the campaign tags utm_source, utm_medium and utm_campaign. Umami sets no cookies, and it cannot recognize you from one month to the next.

Do Not Track

If your browser sends the Do Not Track signal, the counting script sends nothing at all. Blocking analytics.jpmti2016.com in a content blocker has the same effect, and the site works the same either way.

Cookies and browser storage

The site sets one cookie, NEXT_LOCALE, to remember which language you read it in. If you switch between the light and dark theme, that choice is kept in your browser’s local storage.

Neither is used to track you. There are no advertising cookies and no third-party cookies.

Server logs

Like any web host, AWS Amplify, which serves this site, keeps access logs of the requests it receives, including the IP address, for about 60 to 90 days.

I keep a daily copy of those logs to count traffic, with the IP address removed. The copy holds the date and time, the page requested, the response status, a shortened browser name, the domain of the referring site and the campaign tags.

Newsletter

If you subscribe, your email address and the language you signed up in go to Kit, the service that sends the newsletter. Nothing is sent unless you submit the form.

Kit asks you to confirm by email before you are on the list, and you can unsubscribe at any time.

Questions

If you have a question about any of this, or want something removed, write to me from the contact page.
