Privacy

Last updated 26 June 2026

This is the personal website of Warren de Leon. I keep what I collect to a minimum, never sell it, and never share it for advertising. This page explains what is gathered, why, and how to turn it off.

Analytics

I use two tools to see which posts land and how people find the site. Neither one is used to identify you.

Between them, they record:

• The pages you visit and the link or search that brought you here
• Your rough location (country), device type and browser
• Actions such as switching theme or following a social link

Google Analytics, run by Google, sets cookies and may process data outside the UK under Google's terms. Umami is privacy-friendly analytics I host myself: no cookies, no cross-site tracking, and the data never leaves my own server.

Newsletter

If you subscribe, I store your email address so I can send you new posts, and nothing else. I only email when there is something new.

The newsletter runs on Listmonk, software I host myself. Signing up uses double opt-in: you get one email to confirm, and you are only added once you click it.

Each email records whether it was opened and which links you clicked, so I can tell what is worth writing. Those links carry tags that show up in the analytics above.

Every email has an unsubscribe link. One click removes your address straight away.

Cookies and local storage

Your browser keeps a few small values: your theme and language choice, and — unless you have opted out — Google Analytics' cookies. Umami sets none.

Your rights

You can ask what data I hold about you, request a copy, or have it deleted. To leave the newsletter, the unsubscribe link in any email does it at once. For anything else, get in touch.
