In the grim darkness of the 21st century, there is no privacy.

But seriously:

I collect data about your interactions with this blog (things like which pages you viewed, how much time you spent) and share it with third party analytics companies (such as Google), to optimize my site, and just because I’m curious about who visits my little corner of the internet (please say hi). I use cookies to help with this (or rather, the plugins I use, including Slimstat and Google Analytics, do). If this bothers you, please leave a comment or email me.

I also use a cloud provider, who may do their own tracking/analytics (and I have no way of knowing). If you connected to this site via http (rather than https), your data may also have been was collected by all manner of third parties (such as the NSA). If this bothers you, contact your representative/minister/dictator, and consider supporting the EFF.
