Privacy

How Defy Frost handles data.

Defy Frost is a static site, built to collect as little as possible. There are no user accounts, no comment system, and no advertising trackers. The site sets no cookies on your device directly. You can read every page without telling us who you are.

What we collect

Nothing that identifies you personally. We do not ask for your name, email address, or location to read the site, and we do not build a profile of you across visits.

Google Analytics (consent-based in the EU)

Defy Frost also uses Google Analytics 4 for a fuller picture of how the site gets read. Unlike the cookieless Cloudflare tool, it sets a cookie and a random identifier, so we treat it as consent-based:

  • In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland it stays off until you choose Accept on the banner. No cookie or identifier is set unless you opt in.
  • Everywhere else it is on by default, which local privacy laws allow for first-party analytics. You can turn it off below at any time.
  • Advertising and marketing signals are off everywhere. We run no ads through it and build no ad profiles.

Your analytics choice

Change your mind any time. This turns Google Analytics on or off across every page of this site and takes effect immediately.

Server logs and security

The site is served through Cloudflare's edge network. Like any web host, Cloudflare processes basic request data, including your IP address, to deliver pages and protect against abuse. That processing is governed by Cloudflare's own privacy policy. We do not receive, store, or sell a personal profile of you from it.

Affiliate and external links

Some outbound links are affiliate links. Once you leave for Amazon or another retailer, that site's own cookies and privacy policy apply, not ours. See our disclosures for how those links work.

Email

If you email us, we keep your message only to reply and to track corrections. We do not add you to any mailing list. When a newsletter launches it will be strictly opt-in and double-confirmed, and this notice will be updated before any address is collected.

Your choices

Because we hold no account data, there is nothing here to log into or delete. For any question, or to ask about a message you have sent us, write to hello@defyfrost.com.
