The Long Drive

Privacy

This site gathers nothing about the people who read it. What follows describes the technology in use, not a promise about how data will be handled.

Nothing to Submit

There is no form, no comment box, no newsletter signup and no account. The pages are documents to be read, and nothing more interactive than that.

Hosting and Server Requests

Pages are served by a commercial hosting provider. Like any web host it processes the technical request data needed to deliver a page, including the requesting address, and retains it briefly for security and operational purposes. That processing sits with the host and is common to essentially all web hosting.

Browser Storage

The site sets no cookies and writes nothing to browser storage. A second visit is indistinguishable from a first, because nothing from the first was retained.

No Tracking

No tracking script of any kind is loaded. No page view is recorded against a reader, no identifier is assigned, and no behavioral profile exists to be sold, shared or lost.

Keeping This Accurate

The account given here tracks the actual construction of the site. A privacy page that has drifted from the site it describes is worse than none, so this one is kept in step.

Leaving This Site

Following a link takes a reader somewhere this site does not run. What happens after that point is between the reader and whoever operates that site.
