I like to track my personal data like where I spend my time on my phone¹, laptop², even in my code editor³ and browser⁴. Similarly, I very much interested in knowing how many people visit my website, from where and what do they read. For that purpose I am using a self-hosted instance of Umami.

Analytics

Here is what I collect:

• Page views and referrer URLs
• General device type, browser, and operating system
• Country-level location (derived from your IP address, which is never stored)

Here is what I don't do:

• No cookies. Umami does not set any cookies on your device.
• No cross-site tracking. I have no interest in following you around the web.
• No selling or sharing. The data lives on my own server and is never shared with advertisers or third parties.
• No personally identifiable information. Your raw IP address is never logged or stored (only used transiently to derive an anonymised session token that resets daily).

Third-Party Services

This site does not load any scripts, fonts, or resources from external third-party tracking domains. All assets (including fonts, icons, and the analytics script itself) are served directly from the site's domain (website is hosted on Cloudflare Pages) or from my self-hosted server (Oracle VM).
