Privacy policy
Last updated 14 September 2026.
This site is run by Howard Glick. It sells websites, so it collects two things: what you type into the form (or the email box at the end of the game), and a count of how many people visited. There are no cookies on it, nothing is stored in your browser, and nothing about your visit is sent to an advertising company. This page says exactly what happens to both.
If you fill in the form
The form asks for your name, your email address and a message. If you used the PageSpeed tester first and pressed “Ask me what I’d do about it”, the address you tested and its four scores are attached as well. You can see that attachment above the send button and remove it before sending.
Along with it, my server records the country your request came from and the browser identification string your browser sends with every request it makes. That is used to spot automated junk, not to work out who you are.
I use it to answer you, and to do the work if you hire me. I do not sell it, and I do not pass it to anyone except the services listed below. You do not have to fill in the form. Nothing else on this site asks for anything except the game’s email box, which is just as optional, and everything on it can be read without giving me a thing.
The tick box about email
There is one optional tick box on the form. It is unticked by default, ticking it is not a condition of anything, and this is what it says:
Yes, you can email me occasionally: the odd note about building sites, what I have learnt, nothing more than once a month. Unsubscribe in one click, any time.
If you leave it unticked I will reply to your enquiry and that is all. If you tick it, every email carries an unsubscribe link, and using it is instant and final. I record which way you answered, because being able to show that you agreed, or that you did not, is the point of asking.
If you give the game your email address
When a game of Burger Dash ends, it offers to tell you about a game like it for your own business. If you type in your email address and press Send, that address is all the game sends. It is kept with the enquiries from the form, marked as coming from the game, along with the same country and browser string. I use it to write to you about a game and for nothing else. It does not tick the box about email, and it does not sign you up for anything.
How visits are counted
I built the thing that counts them, it runs on this site’s own server, and it is not Google Analytics. Concretely:
- Nothing is stored in your browser. No cookies, no local storage, no session storage. Nothing to accept, which is why this site has no cookie banner.
- Your browser only ever talks to this site. There is no third-party script, image or font on the page. One small script, already in the HTML, sends one request to this domain.
- What it sends: the page you are on, the site you arrived from (the site’s name only, never the full address), the page’s language, and whether your screen is phone, tablet or desktop sized. On a click, whether it was a phone, email or WhatsApp link.
- Your IP address is never written down. It is read to work out your country and to make a short code, then discarded. The code is made from your IP address and browser string together with a secret that is regenerated every midnight and overwritten. Once that happens the code cannot be recreated or connected to you, and it cannot recognise you tomorrow. If you come back on Wednesday you are counted as a new visitor.
- Individual rows are deleted after seven days. What survives is totals: how many people, which pages, which country, which sites they arrived from.
- If you ask not to be tracked, nothing is recorded at all. If your browser sends Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track, the script sends nothing and the server stores nothing. That is the way to object, and it needs no button on this page.
Being precise rather than flattering: the same-day code is not anonymous data, it is pseudonymous, and it stops being connected to anybody at midnight. Anyone telling you their analytics is “completely anonymous” is rounding up.
If you use the PageSpeed tester
The box that checks your own site sends the address you type to Google’s PageSpeed Insights service, which loads that page and scores it. That is the whole point of it, but it means Google sees the address. The request goes through my server rather than from your browser, so Google is not handed anything about you. Results are kept for a day so a second check of the same address is instant.
Who else sees any of this
| Who | What for | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Cloudflare | Hosting this site and running the code behind it | Worldwide |
| Make (Celonis) | Delivering what you send through the form or the game to my inbox | European Union |
| Only if you use the PageSpeed tester, and only the address you typed | United States |
That is the complete list. There is no advertising network, no analytics company, no chat widget and no social media pixel on this site.
How long I keep things
- Enquiries: as long as we might still be working together, and then two years, in case you come back.
- Visit records: individual rows for seven days, then totals with nothing personal in them.
- Email permission: until you unsubscribe, plus a record that you did.
What you can ask me to do
You can ask to see what I hold about you, to correct it, or to delete it, and you can withdraw permission to email you at any time. Ask through the form on the home page and I will do it. There is nothing to look up for the visit counts. After a day there is nothing left that could be yours.
Changes
If this changes, the date at the top changes with it. This page lives in the same version control as the site, so what it said on any given day is a matter of record rather than of memory.
Written to be read rather than to be lawyer-proof. It is a plain description of what the site does, not legal advice, and if you need the latter you should get it from someone qualified to give it.
