Privacy & Analytics

Privacy-First Analytics

At p(Doom)1, we believe in respecting your privacy while understanding how our website is used. We use Plausible Analytics, a privacy-first analytics service that helps us improve the website without compromising your privacy.

What We Collect

We collect only aggregate, anonymous information to understand website usage:

• Page views: Which pages are visited (no user identification)
• Referrers: Where visitors come from (e.g., search engines, social media)
• Browser & OS: General browser and operating system information
• Device type: Desktop, mobile, or tablet (no device fingerprinting)

What We DON'T Collect

• ❌ IP addresses (anonymized immediately)
• ❌ Cookies or local storage (except for opt-out preference)
• ❌ Personal information (names, emails, etc.)
• ❌ Cross-site tracking data
• ❌ Fingerprinting data

Opt-Out Controls

You can opt out of analytics at any time. Your preference is stored locally and will persist across visits. You can also opt back in if you change your mind.

Note: If you have Do Not Track enabled in your browser, analytics are automatically disabled regardless of this setting.

Data Retention

All analytics data is automatically deleted after 90 days. We don't retain long-term tracking data or build user profiles.

Analytics Provider

We use Plausible Analytics, an open-source, privacy-focused analytics platform. Plausible is:

• Open source and auditable
• Can be self-hosted for full data ownership
• Lightweight and fast (<1KB script)
• Does not use cookies or track users across sites
• GDPR, CCPA, and PECR compliant

Alternative Providers

We evaluated several privacy-preserving analytics solutions including:

• Plausible: Our chosen solution (lightweight, open-source)
• Umami: Self-hosted option with similar privacy features
• Simple Analytics: Privacy-focused with carbon-conscious hosting

All three options are privacy-preserving and GDPR-compliant. We chose Plausible for its simplicity, open-source nature, and excellent documentation.
