privacy
hello panda is damien petty’s personal website. you can read its public pages without creating an account. this notice describes the analytics choices implemented on the site.
i use posthog to understand how the site is used. nothing is sent to posthog before you choose. if you accept analytics, posthog can collect pageviews, link and button clicks, performance information, error reports from the site, heatmaps and session replay. form inputs and elements marked as private are masked in recordings.
if you decline, the site uses cookieless page and page-leave counts without replay or automatic click tracking. posthog’s cookieless counts use a daily changing identifier. if your browser sends do not track or global privacy control, the site disables posthog analytics.
your choice is saved in local storage on this device. you can change it through privacy & analytics at the bottom of any page. clearing your browser’s site data also clears that saved choice. if you close the panel without choosing, the site remembers that in this browser tab’s session storage so it does not reappear on every page; that is not a choice, and nothing is sent.
links from social profiles may contain campaign tags such as utm_source. these help distinguish visits from linkedin and x. supported campaign tags are included in pageview events; they should never contain private recipient information.
every visit keeps the page you landed on in your browser tab’s session storage until you make a choice. if you arrived from another website or a campaign link, that website’s name and the campaign tags are kept with it. nothing is sent to posthog before you choose. your first measured page view carries them, and they are then removed; closing the tab also clears them.
the site is hosted on cloudflare. cloudflare web analytics records cookieless page-load information on every visit, whatever you choose here: the page, the referring website, your browser type, your country and how long the page took to load. it does not use cookies or local storage.
posthog processes analytics data in the united states. the hosting service also receives the network information needed to deliver pages, such as the requested URL and IP address. external sites linked here operate under their own privacy policies.
