This website doesn’t track anything, and doesn’t set any cookies. I don’t track statistics beyond what is done by the Apache webserver. I occasionally look at high level statistics through CPanel’s Bandwidth tool, or through Analog or AWStats processing of the Apache webserver logs.
Search functionality is provided by a custom SQLite/PHP application running on my own server. It doesn’t track anything about any queries, beyond the normal Apache webserver logs of pageviews - but those are anonymous. It runs on this server, doesn’t track anything, doesn’t share anything, has no ads or algorithms or whatnot. It just does search.
Comments are provided by a custom standalone comment management platform. It runs on this server, doesn’t track anything, doesn’t share anything, has no ads or algorithms or whatnot. It just does comments.
