Privacy & cookies

Legal words about
privacy and data.

Rockroot does not sell personal information. This page explains what the site currently does and what we track. We use privacy-focused self hosted services as much as possible.

What Rockroot collects

Rockroot uses a self-hosted Umami analytics service ↗ to understand page visits and outbound-link clicks. It records anonymous usage details such as the page and referrer, browser, operating system, device type, approximate country, and the destination of a clicked external link. Umami does not use cookies, collect personal information, or track visitors across websites. The analytics data stays on Rockroot’s own service.

Experiment pages use the self-hosted Waline commenting system ↗, and an account is required to publish a comment. Waline may collect and store the account information you provide, your comment, IP address, browser User-Agent, and related service information so it can operate and protect the comment service. See Waline’s privacy information ↗ for more detail.

If you email Rockroot, your message and email address are used only to read and reply to your request.

Cookies and advertising

Rockroot and downstream projects on *.rockrootstudio.com may use an ad platform in the future. If ads ever become active, advertising partners may use cookies, web beacons, IP addresses, or similar identifiers to show and measure ads, including ads based on a visitor’s prior visits to this and other websites.

The intent is to keep any advertising surface small, if present at all, and to avoid disrupting the reading experience.

Before advertising is enabled for visitors where consent is required, Rockroot would present a consent choice and a visible Privacy and cookie settings link for changing that choice.

If ads ever are enabled, this page would be updated to explain how we use advertising partners and how you can opt out.

Third-party content

Some pages link to or embed services such as YouTube. Those services operate under their own privacy policies and may collect information when you use their content.
