Privacy

We collect as little as possible

You can read every guide and use every tool on this site without an account. We only use analytics cookies if you say yes, and we don't run advertising trackers.

Counting visits, only if you agree

We use Google Analytics to see how many people visit and which projects they read, so we know what to make next. It only runs if you press Accept on the cookie banner. If you press No thanks, Google Analytics is never loaded and no analytics cookies are set.

If you accept, Google Analytics sets cookies named _ga and _ga_…, which last up to two years, and Google receives details such as the pages you view, roughly where you are (country or city), and your device and browser type. Google doesn't keep your full IP address in Google Analytics, and we don't use it for advertising. Google's own policy is at policies.google.com/privacy.

We remember your choice in your browser's local storage, not a cookie. You can change your mind at any time with Cookie settings (also in the footer of every page). Saying no after accepting removes the analytics cookies.

If you sign up for emails

When you enter your email address to get weekly ideas, it is sent to Kit (kit.com), the service we use to send the newsletter. We use it only to send you that newsletter. Every email has an unsubscribe link, and you can ask us to delete your address at any time by emailing [email protected].

Your data stays in your browser

The habit tracker, budget planner, pomodoro timer and games save your entries and high scores in your own browser (local storage). That data never reaches us, and clearing your browser data removes it.

The Where on Earth? game loads photos from Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons, so those sites see a normal request from your browser when a photo loads.

If you suggest a project

When you press Send, what you typed in the suggestion form (your idea and any name or email you add) is passed to Web3Forms, a form-to-email service, which emails it to us. Web3Forms keeps a copy for up to 30 days; we keep the email only as long as we need it to consider your idea. If you tick the newsletter box, your email address also goes to Kit as above.

Fonts and hosting

Pages load their fonts from Google Fonts, which receives your IP address when a font loads. The site is hosted on Cloudflare, which keeps standard server logs for security and to keep the site running.

Advertising

We don't show ads yet. If we add them, the ad provider may use cookies. We'll update this page before that happens and ask for your consent where the law requires it.
