I like to keep it simple.
Cookies
Don’t use them at all. You noticed there was no cookie consent pop-up? That’s why.
Newsletter
If you sign up for the newsletter, your address is stored in Buttondown. That’s what I use to send the newsletter. Your data doesn’t go anywhere else and you can unsubscribe with 1 click. It’s fully GDPR compliant and you can read their privacy policy here.
Analytics
I finally dropped Google Analytics in favour of Cloudflare. They don’t store any personal data and visitor statistics aren’t shared with any advertising networks. Fully compliant with GDPR, CCPA, PECR and other privacy regulations. More info here.
