This site is a retrospective. It sells nothing, takes no orders and holds no accounts — so there is very little to say, and what there is fits on one page.
We use Google Analytics to count visits — how many people read the story, how far they get, roughly where they are. It is the only analytics here. There is no advertising, no advertising pixels and no tracking of you across other sites, and Google Analytics' advertising features are switched off.
Nothing loads until you agree. On a first visit a small notice asks. Until you choose Accept, no Google code is downloaded, no request reaches Google, and nothing is written to your browser. Choosing Decline keeps it that way permanently.
If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track signal, it counts as a decline, you are never asked, and the signal is re-read on every visit — so turning it on later stops analytics even if you had accepted before.
If you do accept, Google receives your IP address, the pages you view here, and
general device and browser information, and sets identifiers that recognise a returning
browser. It acts as a service provider; its practices are at
policies.google.com/privacy.
Your answer is kept in your browser's local storage as ga-consent and
nowhere else.
Changing your mind takes one click: · . Clearing this site's data does the same.
There is no shop, no cart, no checkout and no account. Nothing asks for your name, your address or your card. The old store is closed, and its links land here instead.
EB Garamond is served by Google Fonts. Your browser fetches it from fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com, which discloses your IP address and browser details to Google. That happens whether or not you accept analytics, because the page cannot be set without it.
