Privacy Policy

Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how James Rea ("me", “my“, “I“) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit my website at jamesrea.co.

I believe in respecting your privacy. That's why I’ve designed my website to operate without the use of tracking cookies.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit them. They are widely used to make websites work, improve efficiency, and provide information to website owners, often for tracking and advertising purposes.

Do I use cookies?

No. My website does not set any cookies on your device — no tracking cookies, no advertising cookies, and no third-party cookies.

How do I measure website traffic without cookies?

I use Pirsch Analytics, a privacy-friendly, cookieless web analytics platform, to understand how visitors use my website.

Unlike traditional analytics tools, Pirsch:

• Does not use cookies or store any data on your device
• Does not collect or store personal data
• Does not track you across other websites
• Generates anonymous statistics by processing technical information (such as your IP address, User-Agent, and page URL) on the server side to create a temporary, anonymised identifier that cannot be traced back to you
• Never stores your IP address

The information I see is aggregated and anonymous — for example, the number of visitors to a page, which country visitors come from, and which browsers are used. I cannot identify you personally from this data.

Third-party cookies

I do not embed third-party services (such as advertising networks or social media widgets) that set cookies on my website.

If this changes in the future, I will update this policy and, where required by law, ask for your consent before any non-essential cookies are set.

Your rights

Even though I don't use cookies or collect personal data through analytics, you have rights under data protection law (including the UK GDPR and the EU GDPR), such as the right to access, correct, or erase any personal data I may hold about you through other means (for example, if you contact me by email). For more details, please email hello@jamesrea.co.

Changes to this policy

I may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
