This policy covers what Look Ma, No Code (https://lookmanocode.com) collects when you visit. There are no accounts, no logins and no comment system here.
The site is run by one person, writing as K.T. For anything in this policy, write to me.
What is collected
Analytics on this site are self-hosted, served from t.lookmanocode.com. No
third-party analytics service is involved.
What is collected falls into three categories:
- A randomly generated identifier, created by your browser and stored in your browser's local storage. It is not linked to your name or email, because I never ask for either. It lets me recognise a returning browser.
- Device and browser information, such as screen size, language and general browser and connection details.
- Usage information, such as which pages are viewed, where visitors arrived from, how a page performed, and how visitors interact with a page.
The server also keeps ordinary web server logs, which include IP addresses, timestamps and requested pages.
This site sets no cookies. The identifier described above is kept in local storage, which EU rules treat in the same way as a cookie.
Why, and on what basis
I use this to see which articles get read, to find what is broken, and to keep the service running and free of abuse. The legal basis is legitimate interest in understanding and maintaining my own website. None of it is sold, shared, or used for advertising.
How long it is kept
Logs and analytics data are deleted after 12 months.
Where it is kept
The analytics server is hosted with a cloud provider outside the European Economic Area, and the website itself is served by Cloudflare's global network. Visiting from the EEA or the UK therefore involves a transfer of this data outside those areas.
Your choices and rights
Blocking t.lookmanocode.com disables the analytics completely; the site works
exactly the same without it. Clearing site data for lookmanocode.com removes the
stored identifier.
You can ask me what is held against your identifier, ask for it to be deleted, or object to it being collected at all: write to me and I will deal with it. If you are in the EEA or the UK and you are not happy with how I handle that, you can complain to your national data protection authority.
Advertising
Where this site shows ads, they are served by Google AdSense. Google and its partners use cookies and device identifiers to serve and measure ads, and to personalise them based on your earlier visits to this and other sites. In the EEA and the UK you are asked for consent before any of that loads. You can turn off ad personalisation at any time at Google Ads Settings.
Affiliate links
Any link that earns me a commission is marked as such on the page it appears on. It adds no tracking here.
Outbound links
Some pages link to other websites. Once you leave https://lookmanocode.com, the privacy policy of the site you land on applies.
If you write to me, I use your address only to reply. I do not add you to any mailing list and I do not pass it on.
Changes to this policy
I update this page as the site changes. The current version is always published at this URL.
