Browsing, cookies, and searching

The current site’s code does not set advertising cookies or use browser local storage for advertising. No cross-site tracking is built into the site. Its behavior does not change in response to a browser’s Do Not Track signal.

Reflection search filters content already loaded in your browser. Search words and the selected topic appear in the page address, so they may be saved in browser history, included in shared links, or sent to a server when that address is loaded. Avoid entering personal information into search.

The public website uses Netlify for hosting and Cloudflare for domain, DNS, and website analytics services. Providers may process technical information, such as IP addresses and requested page addresses, to deliver and secure their services. See Netlify’s Privacy Statement and Cloudflare’s Privacy Policy.

Website analytics

We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to understand visits, page views, referring websites, and page performance. A small script sends browsing and performance measurements to Cloudflare, and Ina can view aggregate reports. Cloudflare states that this service does not use cookies or local storage to track visitors and does not track people across websites. See About Cloudflare Web Analytics and the Cloudflare Privacy Policy. Browser privacy settings or content blockers may prevent these measurements.

Google’s handling of information is described in its Privacy Policy.

Access and retention

Correspondence is intended for Ina and the service providers needed to deliver and store it, except when disclosure is required by law. Personal correspondence and contact details are not sold or used for targeted advertising.
