Privacy Policy

Last Updated: April 5, 2026

1. Who We Are

This website is operated by Damian Ehrenburg. Website address: damianehrenburg.neocities.org. Privacy questions: ehrenburgdamian@gmail.com.

2. Data We Collect

We do not ask for direct identifiers such as your full name, home address, or phone number. The site has no user accounts and no registration flow.

Technical data may still be processed when you visit the site, such as:

• IP address, browser type, device details, and interface language
• Pages viewed, session activity, and time on page
• Referral source and basic interaction events

3. Cookies and Local Storage

The site uses cookies and browser storage (`localStorage` / `sessionStorage`) for technical and analytics purposes.

3.1 Technical Storage Keys

• language — selected interface language
• hasVisitedBefore — first-visit/preloader behavior
• cookie_consent — your cookie choice (`accepted` / `rejected`)
• archiveAccessGranted — technical flag for archive access state
• audioState (sessionStorage) — sound state in current session
• preloaderShownThisSession (sessionStorage) — preloader state in current session

These values are stored on your device and are used to keep the interface consistent.

3.2 Analytics Cookies

If you click "Allow" in the cookie banner, the site initializes Google Analytics (Measurement ID: G-8T1YTJ1BBP). Analytics is not initialized before consent.

Google may set its own analytics cookies (for example, `_ga`) to generate aggregated traffic statistics.

4. Why We Process Data

• Site operation and user preference persistence
• Traffic analytics and content/UX improvement
• Basic security and troubleshooting

5. Legal Bases

Technical storage needed for core site behavior is processed under legitimate interest in operating the service. Analytics cookies are processed on the basis of consent collected via the cookie banner.

6. Third Parties

Analytics is provided by Google Analytics (Google LLC). Their processing terms and privacy policy apply to analytics data: policies.google.com/privacy.

The site is hosted on Neocities. Hosting infrastructure may process technical server logs as part of service delivery.

7. International Transfers

Because global service providers are used, data may be processed outside your country. Such processing is handled under the safeguards and contractual mechanisms used by those providers.

8. Retention

Local storage keys remain until you clear site data in your browser. Session storage is removed when the browser session ends. Analytics retention is governed by Google Analytics settings and Google's policies.

9. Your Rights and Controls

• You can withdraw consent by clearing cookies/site data in your browser
• You can block or restrict cookies in browser settings
• You can use private/incognito mode to limit local persistence

If you are in a jurisdiction with specific data subject rights (for example, EU/EEA or certain U.S. states), you may send a request to the contact email above.

10. External Links

The site links to third-party services (for example, Author.Today, Litres, itch.io). This policy does not apply to those services. Please review each external service's privacy policy separately.

11. Children

This site is not specifically directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect children's personal data.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy when the site functionality or legal requirements change. The current version is always published on this page with an updated date.
