Privacy

How this site collects, uses, and protects information about your visit.

What this covers

This policy applies to decrevel.dev and labs.decrevel.dev. For the consulting site at mattdecrevel.com, see its dedicated policy. Internal admin pages are excluded from analytics entirely.

What I collect

Page visits: the URL you visited, the page you came from (referrer), your browser and device type, and coarse location (country, region, city) derived from your IP address. Your IP address itself is not stored.
Interaction events: clicks on outbound links, contact form submissions, booking requests, blog post views, resume downloads — the same kinds of events you'd expect from any product analytics setup.
A random session ID stored in your browser's sessionStorage so multiple page views in the same visit can be grouped. It's cleared when you close the tab.

Tools I use

Google Analytics 4 — page views and events, gated behind the consent banner. When accepted, GA4 sets _ga and _ga_* first-party cookies on .decrevel.dev so analytics continues across the main site and labs. Default retention is 14 months.
Vercel Analytics & Speed Insights — cookieless, privacy-friendly aggregate measurement used to monitor performance. Runs regardless of consent.
My own database (Neon Postgres) — stores the same page-view rows described above for the analytics dashboard I use to understand what content resonates. No cookies involved.

Consent & your choices

Google Analytics runs in Consent Mode v2 with analytics storage denied by default. Nothing is written to cookies, and no personally-identifying analytics is sent, until you accept the banner. You can change your mind at any time:

Vercel Analytics and the internal database receive page-view data regardless of your consent choice — neither uses cookies, and neither stores your IP address. Google Analytics is the only tool gated by the consent banner.

— re-opens the consent banner so you can grant or revoke analytics storage.

Your choice is saved as a browser cookie named mdc_consent_v1. Clearing cookies for this site in your browser resets it.

What I don't do

I don't run ads. Ad-related Google Consent signals are kept denied regardless of your choice.
I don't sell, share, or otherwise hand your data to third parties for marketing.
I don't fingerprint you or try to link your visit to another identity.
