Privacy policy

Last updated: 27 August 2026.

The short version

You can read every lesson, use every calculator and take the questionnaire without giving us your name, your email or any other personal detail. We do not have accounts and we do not have a sign-up form.

What is collected automatically

What is not collected

Cookies and similar technologies

The site itself sets no cookies for its own functionality. Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity set their own cookies for measurement. You can block them in your browser settings, or use a private window, and the site will work exactly the same.

Third parties

Where the GDPR or a comparable law applies to you, our legal basis is legitimate interest for keeping the site available and secure, and consent for analytics and advertising measurement, which you can withdraw by blocking cookies. Server logs are kept for up to 30 days. Analytics data follows the retention settings of the provider, which we keep at 14 months.

Your rights

You can ask us for a copy of anything we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Write to [email protected] and we will respond within 30 days. Because we hold almost nothing, most such requests are answered with "we have nothing tied to you" — which is the point.

Children

This site is for adults. It is not directed at anyone under 18 and we do not knowingly collect data from minors.

Changes

If this policy changes, the date at the top changes with it. Material changes will be summarised at the top of this page.
