This privacy policy explains how this website (obitko.com/thoughts) collects and uses information about its visitors. The site is operated by Marek Obitko. Questions about this policy can be sent to marek@obitko.com.
Cookies
This site uses cookies in two optional categories, which you can accept or decline:
- Analytics cookies — used by Google Analytics to collect anonymized information about how visitors use the site (pages visited, time spent, approximate location by country). This data helps improve the content.
- Advertising cookies — used by Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google may use these cookies to show ads based on your interests and previous browsing activity on other websites.
The site is built on WordPress, which may set cookies necessary for basic site functionality (such as the search function and comment forms, if enabled). These functional cookies do not track you across other sites.
Google Analytics
When analytics cookies are allowed, this site uses Google Analytics 4 (provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland). Google Analytics collects anonymized usage data including pages viewed, session duration, browser type, and country. IP addresses are anonymized before storage. Data is retained for 14 months.
For more information, see Google’s Privacy Policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy) or the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout).
Google AdSense
When advertising cookies are allowed, this site uses Google AdSense (provided by Google Ireland Limited) to display advertisements. Google AdSense may use cookies and similar technologies to show personalized ads based on your activity on this and other websites.
You can opt out of personalized advertising or manage your ad preferences at any time through Google’s Ad Settings (https://adssettings.google.com), or via the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page (https://optout.networkadvertising.org/).
For more information about how Google uses data from sites that use its services, see: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites
What data is collected directly
This site does not collect personal data directly. There is no registration system. Comments, if enabled, are handled by WordPress and subject to its own policies.
No data is sold or shared with third parties other than Google (as described above).
Your rights (GDPR)
If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, you have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of your personal data, and to withdraw cookie consent at any time. To exercise these rights, contact marek@obitko.com.
Note: because this site does not directly collect personal data, most requests will relate to data held by Google, which should be addressed through your Google Account (https://myaccount.google.com).
