Privacy & analytics
Last updated October 17, 2026.
This page explains how this website handles connection information and optional Google Analytics measurement. You can read the site without allowing optional analytics.
We do not sell your data
AJOHern.com does not sell visitor data. Our hosting services process connection information, and Google processes optional analytics data when you allow it, as explained below.
Website hosting
The services that host and deliver AJOHern.com receive normal connection information, such as your IP address, the address you request, and browser details. The hosting platform also provides its own traffic statistics. The optional analytics choice below controls Google Analytics added by this website; it does not control the hosting platform’s separate operational records or traffic statistics.
Optional Google Analytics
If you choose “Allow analytics,” this website loads Google Analytics 4 to help Alex understand which pages are viewed, how visitors find the site, and reading engagement such as scrolling and time spent with a page in view. Google may process browser and device details, approximate location, connection information, and a browser identifier stored in first-party analytics cookies. This is measurement of visits, not a verified count of individual people.
The website does not load Google Analytics until you allow it. Advertising personalization and Google advertising signals are disabled. Search terms and form interactions are not enabled. The site does not send reader names, email addresses, or account information as analytics fields. Page query strings and fragments are omitted; ordinary campaign labels on tagged links may be used to identify where a visit came from. Referral information is limited to the referring website’s origin.

Your analytics choice
Analytics is off unless you have allowed it on this browser.
Your allow or decline choice is saved in this browser’s local storage for up to 180 days. Analytics cookies are configured to expire after 180 days without refreshing that expiry on later visits. You can reopen these choices using “Analytics settings” in the footer. Declining switches off further Google Analytics collection by this website and removes its accessible analytics cookies from this browser; it does not erase measurements already received by Google. Clearing browser storage removes your saved choice, and different browsers or devices have separate choices.
This website also keeps Google Analytics off when it detects your browser’s Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track signal. Browser privacy tools and blockers may prevent measurement even when you allow it.
Email, external links, and the companion app
If you email Alex, the information in that email is handled through the email service you choose and the receiving email service. External websites have their own privacy practices. The companion reader app has its own app privacy notice; optional website tracking is not added to its native reader or article feed.
