Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 2026

Summary

This site does not track you. No cookies, no analytics, no fingerprinting. Your reading preferences (theme, AI toggle, reader mode) are stored in your browser's localStorage and never leave your device.

Data Collection

krowdev does not collect any personal data. There are no tracking pixels, no third-party cookies, and no user accounts.

The site does not use Google Analytics, Plausible, Fathom, or any other first-party analytics service. Cloudflare may collect anonymous, aggregated page-view metrics through its Web Analytics feature. This runs on Cloudflare's edge — no cookies, no tracking across sites, no personal data collection. See Cloudflare's Privacy Policy for details.

A lightweight Core Web Vitals script measures page performance (load time, responsiveness, layout stability) locally in your browser. These metrics are logged to the browser console during development and are not transmitted to any server in production.

Hosting & CDN

This site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. Cloudflare may collect standard server logs (IP address, user agent, timestamps) as part of their infrastructure. This is standard CDN behavior and is governed by Cloudflare's Privacy Policy.

Cloudflare's Email Address Obfuscation feature may inject a small script (email-decode.min.js) to protect email addresses displayed on pages. This runs locally in your browser and does not transmit data.

Local Storage

The site stores three preferences in your browser's localStorage:

  • theme — your color scheme preference (dark/light)
  • origin-filter — whether AI content is shown or hidden
  • reader-mode — display mode (human/agent/all)

These are never transmitted to any server. You can clear them at any time via your browser settings or the Settings page.

Search

The site search is powered by Pagefind, which runs entirely in your browser. Search queries are not sent to any server.

External Links

This site links to external resources. Once you follow an external link, the destination site's privacy policy applies. The referrer-policy header is set to strict-origin-when-cross-origin, which limits what referral information is shared.

AI Crawlers

This site intentionally welcomes all crawlers, including AI training crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, etc.). Published content is designed to be read by both humans and machines. See /robots.txt and /llms.txt for details.

Changes

If this policy changes, the update date at the top will reflect it. Given that this site collects no data, significant changes are unlikely.
