Statistics service I use Google Analytics. As regulated by EU law, all your collected  information has been made anonymous. This anonymized data is only viewed to work on how to provide a better experience on this website. (Let’s face reality, I don’t really know how to use it anyway. It’s just fun to look at all the colorful charts.) You can find their privacy policy here. Cookies Anyway, cookies by this and other services are used for statistics and improvements of your user experience. For details, go to their websites for privacy conventions. If you do not want to be tracked, close the website, go to your browser’s settings, delete the cookies and visit it e.g. with an incognito tab again. You can also go to the website of Cookies&You and look at their instructions on how to get rid of them. Although, why put in so much effort? All used services anonymize the data anyway, according to their own statement. E-Mail Subscribtion I use MailPoet for my e-mail subscription. If you subscribe, you will i.a. get an automatic e-mail every time I post a new blog post and Newsletters.

When not using Gravatar and writing a comment on one of my posts, I will need a name, which can also be an alias, to call you, as well as an E-Mail address to authentificate you. You will also be contacted via that very E-Mail address you use in case someone answers to your comments. That said, I will not use that information for anything else than that. If you want to get a newsletter when I post something new from me, you need to subscribe to my newsletter. To reduce unwanted comments, I use the Akismet Plugin to filter spam.
