Privacy

This is a personal academic homepage. It has no accounts, forms or comments, and it collects nothing you type.

Analytics. Every page loads Google Analytics 4 (property G-WZHJJZW6V3) so that I can see how many people visit and which pages they read. Google Analytics 4 does not log or store IP addresses, and the reports I see are aggregated: page views, approximate country, browser type. I do not use them for advertising. How Google uses data from sites that use its services is described at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. To opt out, install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on or block the googletagmanager.com script with a content blocker; the site works fully without it.

Cookies and local storage. The site sets no cookies of its own. Google Analytics sets its first-party cookies (_ga, _ga_*) to tell repeat visits apart; the opt-out above prevents that. If you use the light/dark toggle, your choice is kept in your browser’s local storage under the key theme and never leaves your browser.

Hosting and external links. The site is served by GitHub Pages; GitHub may log visitor IP addresses to deliver it, as described in GitHub’s privacy statement. Links to publishers, Google Scholar, ORCID, GitHub, LinkedIn and ResearchGate lead to third-party sites with their own policies.
