The short version

This Digital Derek site does not ask for your name, email address, payment details, or account information. It does not use advertising pixels, behavior recordings, or a third-party browser analytics script. TruConversion is not active on this site. Netlify Web Analytics is active and measures site use from Netlify's server logs without adding a tracking cookie or analytics script to your browser.

What the site uses

The search feature downloads a small index of the pages already published on this site. Your search runs in your browser. The site does not send the words you type to Digital Derek or store them in a customer database.

Netlify, the hosting provider, processes ordinary technical request information, such as an IP address, browser type, requested page, and time of access, to deliver and secure the site. Digital Derek uses Netlify Web Analytics to review aggregate pageviews, unique visitors, top pages, referral sources, and broad locations. Netlify derives these reports from its content-delivery-network server logs; it does not add a tracking cookie or client-side analytics code for this service. The current Netlify reporting interface provides up to 30 days of history. Digital Derek uses these reports to understand which published guides attract interest and to diagnose site problems, not to build advertising profiles.

Links to Amazon, TikTok, YouTube, or another website take you to that company’s service. Its privacy terms apply after you leave Digital Derek. Paid Amazon links will be labeled before they are activated.

Before tracking changes

This page must be updated before a session-recording, heatmap, advertising, or browser-based analytics tool is enabled. The update must explain what is collected, why it is needed, how long it is kept, and what choices you have. Contact Derek through the social profiles linked on this site with a privacy question.
