If you look at the bottom of the site now you'll see I have published a privacy document. Normally I expect updates like this to explain how somebody is actively trying to track me harder. This is actually the opposite of that and I hope it can be useful to other folks who want to get better signal to noise ratio with still respecting their readers privacy wishes.

→ How does it work?

It's simple. A tiny bit of unessential javascript loads on each page load. The javascript checks about 4 different ways to see if you are asking not to be tracked:

(function () {
  // If you have asked not to be tracked, stop here. Fire nothing.
  var dnt = navigator.doNotTrack || window.doNotTrack || navigator.msDoNotTrack;
  if (dnt === "1" || dnt === "yes" || navigator.globalPrivacyControl) { return; }

If that's your wish, it skips. If you leave that open, then it loads a small invisible svg:

  new Image().src = "/assets/turnstile.svg?" + Date.now();
})();

The privacy page explains in much greater detail how all of this works.

→ Web Server Logs?

You won't appear in those either.

Requests for turnstile.svg are sent to a different log file, and that's only if apache does not detect the do not track header from your browser.

If that isn't set then an item is logged in the turnstile log. For example:

2026-07-24 "https://blog.lnx.cx/privacy/"

That's it. It says on that day, July 24th, a request was made from (in this example) the privacy page. No time component, only a date stamp. No IP address. Just a date and a referral page. I can't use this to line up anything with the other logs to build a profile. I don't want to.
