This is my personal site. I’m Hamzah Khan, I run it myself, and this page lists what it collects when you visit.

Analytics Link to heading

I run two analytics tools, because I want to know which posts get read and where readers come from.

Cloudflare Web Analytics runs on every page. It sets no cookies and stores nothing in your browser. It counts page views and records the referring site, country, browser type and page load timings.

Google Analytics loads only if you press Accept on the cookie banner. It sets two cookies, _ga and _ga_6RRP917EG1, which last up to two years and let Google recognise a returning browser. Google receives the pages you view, how you arrived, your approximate location and your device and browser type.

Your choice is saved in your browser’s local storage. To change it, use the “Cookie choice” link in the footer of any page. If you decline after accepting, the site stops Google Analytics and deletes its cookies.

Comments Link to heading

Comments on posts run on Remark42, which I host myself. Every post loads the comment widget from that server. Reading comments needs no account. If you sign in to post one, Remark42 sets a cookie to keep you signed in and stores your display name with your comment.

Contact form Link to heading

The contact form sends your name, email address and message to a mail service I run, which forwards them to my inbox. I use them to reply to you. The form uses Cloudflare Turnstile to check that the sender is a person and not a bot. Turnstile loads from Cloudflare, so Cloudflare sees that request.

Hosting Link to heading

The site is served through bunny.net, a content delivery network. It logs each request, including the IP address, the page requested and the browser’s user agent.

Posts with diagrams load the Mermaid library from the jsDelivr network, which sees the request in the same way.

Some posts link to products on Amazon and AliExpress through affiliate links, which are marked with an asterisk. This site sets nothing when you click one, but those shops set their own cookies once you arrive.

Your data Link to heading

If you want to know what I hold about you, or want it corrected or deleted, send me a message through the contact form.
