Google Analytics 4 counts visits: which pages are viewed, how you arrived (the referring site or search), your device and browser type, your approximate location (city and country, which Google works out from your IP address; Google Analytics 4 does not store or show IP addresses), how far you scroll, and which outside links you click, including links to OffDeck. It sets two first-party cookies, _ga and _ga_G0JNKTWVJY, so a return visit counts as the same visitor. Google signals, ad personalization and ad storage are turned off. Reports keep event data for 14 months.

If your browser sends Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track, the analytics script never loads and no analytics cookies are set. Blocking cookies or scripts works too; the site reads fine without them.

Fonts are served by Google Fonts, so your browser asks Google's servers for them and Google receives your IP address and browser details with that request. Google Fonts sets no cookies. A few older posts first published as Quora answers show images hosted on Quora's servers, which receive the same request details when those posts load.

The web server keeps standard request logs (IP address, page requested, time, browser) to run and secure the site.

No forms, no accounts, no ads, no newsletter sign-up. Nothing collected here is sold or shared beyond the services above.

Links to offdeck.com, LinkedIn, X and other profiles take you to sites with their own privacy practices.
