Privacy notice

How jameslanzon.com handles consent-gated Google Analytics 4.

Last updated

Manage your analytics consent

Re-open the prompt to accept or revoke at any time.

In short

This site is a static portfolio. The only optional analytics is Google Analytics 4 — and it loads only after you click Accept on the consent prompt. Decline once and nothing is sent. Ever.

Data collection summary

What we collect (only with consent)

  • Page path you visited (e.g. /, /legal/privacy) and page title — query strings stripped except utm_* attribution.
  • Referring URL (HTTP referrer), with query strings and fragments removed.
  • Country derived from your IP. Your IP itself is anonymised before storage (anonymize_ip: true).
  • Device category (mobile / desktop / tablet) and browser family.
  • A first-party _ga cookie used to attribute return visits.

What we don't collect

  • Your precise IP address.
  • Advertising identifiers — Google Signals and ad personalization are disabled at the SDK level.
  • Cross-site identifiers, fingerprints, or third-party tracking.
  • Form input, scroll positions, mouse movements, session recordings, or heatmaps.
  • Email addresses or any URL query parameters that might contain personal data.

Retention

GA4 retains event-level data for the default 14 months, after which it is aggregated. The _ga cookie expires after 2 years unless you revoke consent first.

Your controls

  • Change your decision anytime

    Use the Cookie preferences button at the top of this page to re-open the prompt and accept or decline.

  • Revoke clears everything

    Declining immediately removes the GA4 script, clears `_ga*` cookies on this domain (host-only and eTLD+1), and stops all subsequent analytics calls.

  • GPC and DNT are honoured

    If your browser sends `Sec-GPC: 1` or `navigator.doNotTrack === '1'`, the prompt is hidden by default and the GA tag never loads.

  • Content blockers welcome

    We do not detect or circumvent ad blockers, privacy extensions, or tracker-protection lists.

When JavaScript is disabled

The site is fully usable without JavaScript. With JS off, the consent prompt does not render and no analytics runs.
