The short version: I count visits, and only if you say yes.
Your data, briefly.

What I collect
If you click "Sure, that's cool" on the cookie banner, Google Analytics records which pages you visit, how you found the site, your rough location, and what kind of device and browser you use. I use it to see which pages people read.
If you click "No, thanks," Google Analytics doesn't run.
There are no ads or ad pixels on this site right now. If that changes, I'll update this page, and the cookie banner will ask you first. I don't sell your data.
Cookies on this site

|---|---|---|---|
| CookieScriptConsent | Remembers your answer to the cookie banner | 30 days | No. The banner can't work without it. |
| eb_key | Keeps a private case study open after you enter the password | 30 days | No. It's only set when you open one with the password. |

How long Google keeps it
Google Analytics deletes visit-level data after 2 months and user-level data after 14 months. Summary reports, like total visits in a month, stay.
