* About this website
|
||
** Introduction
|
||
This is the config website of Lucien “Phundrak” Cartier-Tilet.
|
||
|
||
This website is made with [[https://orgmode.org/][org-mode]] and [[https://v2.vuepress.vuejs.org/][Vuepress]] and is entirely free
|
||
and open-source. You can find its source code on my Gitea instance
|
||
[[https://labs.phundrak.com/phundrak/config.phundrak.com][here]].
|
||
|
||
** Where is the website hosted?
|
||
This website is hosted on my private physical server, located in the
|
||
town of Bron in France, near Lyon. All of my websites are also hosted
|
||
on this server, except for [[https://labs.phundrak.com][=labs.phundrak.com=]] and =mail.phundrak.com=
|
||
which are hosted on servers rented to Scaleway and OVH France
|
||
respectively. These servers are also located in France.
|
||
|
||
** Cookies
|
||
*** What are cookies?
|
||
Cookies are small files a website saves on your computer or mobile
|
||
phone when you visit a website. Although not all sites make use of
|
||
them, they are nevertheless extremely common in order to allow
|
||
websites to function properly or function properly or more
|
||
efficiently.
|
||
|
||
This website uses some functional cookies in order to remember your
|
||
preferences, such as your preferred language or its colour theme.
|
||
These cookies are not and cannot be used to track you.
|
||
|
||
However, as this site is protected by Cloudflare, they may also host
|
||
some cookies to remember, for example, that your browser is safe or to
|
||
record traffic to the site.
|
||
|
||
*** How can I control cookies on my computer?
|
||
If you don't want Cloudflare to record your browsing activity on my
|
||
website, a good ad blocker should do the trick. I personally recommend
|
||
[[https://ublockorigin.com/][uBlock Origin]], one of the most effective ad blockers I know of if not
|
||
the most effective one.
|
||
|
||
You can also manually delete cookies from your browser, but given the
|
||
number of browsers out there, it might be quicker for you to look up
|
||
DuckDuckGo, Qwant or Startpage to do this for your current browser (if
|
||
you're worried about cookie usage, I guess you'll want to avoid
|
||
Google).
|
||
|
||
*** What about other methods of tracking users?
|
||
There are other more subtle methods of tracking someone on the
|
||
internet, or even via emails or any web content rendered on the
|
||
screen, such as web beacons (extremely small images). It is also
|
||
possible to store Flash cookies or local shared objects.
|
||
|
||
This site does not use them at all.
|
||
|
||
** Is there any analytics on this website?
|
||
Yes, but here’s the catch: I use a self-hosted [[https://umami.is/][umami]] instance to track
|
||
what happens on this website. This service uses no cookies, is fully
|
||
GDPR and CCPA compliant, and completely anonymises you. I just know
|
||
that someone went on such or such web page, but I have no way of
|
||
knowing that the same person went on this then that page. Your privacy
|
||
is completely respected.
|
||
|
||
If you still want to block tracking, you can add =umami.phundrak.com= to
|
||
the list of domains blocked by uBlock Origin (the only adblocker I’ll
|
||
ever trust).
|
||
|
||
** Is there targeted advertisement on this website?
|
||
There’s no advertisement to begin with. If you see any, check your
|
||
computer and browser for virus, that is not normal.
|
||
|
||
** How often is this page updated?
|
||
It is updated from time to time to reflect any changes in how my
|
||
website behaves, or if I notice errors on this page (such as typos).
|
||
|
||
You can see the last update of this page by looking at the last
|
||
modification of the file =about.org= on [[https://labs.phundrak.com/phundrak/config.phundrak.com/src/branch/main/docs][this page]].
|
||
|
||
** I have other questions
|
||
|
||
And I have the answers! I’ll be more than happy to chat with you by
|
||
email, feel free to send me one at [[mailto:lucien@phundrak.com][lucien@phundrak.com]].
