What data we collect

This site uses Vercel Analytics — a privacy-focused analytics tool — to understand aggregate traffic patterns. When you accept cookies, Vercel Analytics collects:

• Page views and navigation paths
• Approximate geographic location (country/region level, derived from IP address — the IP address itself is not stored)
• Browser type and operating system (general categories only)
• Referrer URL (where you came from)

Vercel Analytics does not use advertising cookies, cross-site tracking, or fingerprinting techniques. Data is aggregated and not tied to individual identities.

If you decline cookies, no analytics data is collected.

Legal basis for processing (POPIA / GDPR)

We process analytics data on the basis of your explicit consent, given via the cookie banner on your first visit. You may withdraw consent at any time by clearing your browser's local storage for this domain (key: aj-cookie-consent).
