This policy explains what information .aletheia (“the site”) collects when you visit, why, and how I use it. This site is run by one person, so “I” and “my” in this policy mean the author. By using the site, you agree to this policy.

Information I collect

You don't need to create an account or submit personal details to read the site. I may receive:

• Usage data, such as which pages get the most visits, how you arrived at the site, your approximate location (country level), and the platform you use to access the site.
• Messages you send me through the contact form. Your name and email address are included only if you choose to enter them. I use them only to read and reply to you.

How I use analytics

I use analytics (Vercel Web Analytics) to see which articles and topics readers engage with most. This information is gathered in aggregate and is not used to identify you personally. I use it to decide what to write next: the subjects, formats, and ideas that resonate with readers shape the content that follows.

Cookies and advertising

Advertising is the primary source of funding for this site. It is what allows me to keep producing new content, and the aggregated audience information I receive from analytics and advertising partners helps me understand who my writing reaches, so I can find and write for the right audience.

I may display ads served by Google. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your previous visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site.

You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also control or delete cookies in your browser settings.

Where my articles come from

Some articles on this site are also published through Substack. If you follow a link to Substack, its own privacy policy applies there.

Third-party links

The site may link to other websites. I am not responsible for their content or privacy practices.

Changes to this policy

I may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top shows when it was last changed.
