Cookies & Privacy
Hello! This site uses some cookies. If you wish to change your preference you can also do so at any time : Click here to show the cookie banner. You can return to this page from the footer of every page.
Interacting with the banner at the bottom of the screen stores “cookiesAccepted:true/false” to prevent the banner from re-appearing when visting the site again. If cookies are refused this should be the only thing stored.
If accepted, the following third party cookies are used :
Twitter/X
The site can optionally display embedded tweets, usually containing gifs/videos of my shader effects. This may use some third party cookies (i.e. guest_id and twid). Can see how twitter/X uses those in twitter’s cookie policy.
If cookies are refused, a link is displayed instead.
Google Analytics
Google Analytics is used in order to collect anonymous stats. Cookies such as _ga/_gid are apparently used to distinguish users and _ga_<container-id> for persisting session state.
If you refuse cookies these won’t be used/stored, and no stats will be collected. You can also alternatively choose to opt-out of Google Analytics using their Browser add-on.
Collects stats include :
- First Visit, Session Start
- Page views
- Scrolls (detects reaching the bottom of a page)
- Outbound Clicks (detects clicking links that lead you to a different site)
- Engagement Time
The following data is also tracked for user demographics :
- Anonymised IP address (last octet set to 0, more info here). Used to derive location data (Country and City)
- Operating System / Device type/model & Browser (e.g. Windows 10, Chrome)
- Screen Resolution
- Language of device/OS (e.g. English)
Google Analytics collects this data by default. It will be kept private. (I’m mostly just interested in the page views but doesn’t seem to be a way to disable the user stuff)
