Trust / Privacy

A small data footprint
by design.

The site is designed to learn which research is useful without constructing a profile of the person reading it.

Last updated: July 16, 2026.

Current configuration

The production site uses an owner-operated, first-party analytics backend when its collector endpoint is present in the published build. The site sets no advertising cookies, sells no data, and loads no advertising trackers. Infrastructure providers may process standard request metadata to deliver and secure the site.

First-party research analytics

When enabled, the site can record page paths, referrer domains, campaign parameters, viewport and language, reading depth, engaged time, and deliberate interactions such as opening a paper or requesting a CV. The current analytics configuration can also retain the requesting IP address, a coarse network prefix, and salted visitor identifiers for traffic analysis and abuse prevention. Tracking is disabled when the browser sends Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control.

Retention and control

Event-level data is scheduled for deletion after 90 days and is exposed only through an authenticated owner dashboard. Visitors may request deletion of data reasonably associated with them by contacting the address below.
