Privacy Policy
This is the personal blog of Evren Bal. It collects as little as possible — this page explains exactly what, and why.
Who runs this site
This site is a personal blog operated by Evren Bal. For anything below, you can reach me at evrenbal at gmail.com.
Analytics
I use Google Analytics 4 to understand aggregate traffic — which pages are read, an approximate location derived from your IP, and basic device and browser information. The Google tag is served first-party through Google Tag Gateway. This data is processed by Google; see Google’s own privacy policy for details. I do not run ads and do not build cross-site advertising profiles.
Cookies
The only cookies set are the Google Analytics ones (for example _ga and _ga_*), used to tell repeat visits apart in aggregate. There are no advertising or social-tracking cookies. You can block or delete cookies in your browser; the site works fine without them.
Hosting
The site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. To deliver and protect the site, Cloudflare may process limited technical data such as IP addresses at its edge, under Cloudflare’s own privacy policy.
If you contact me
If you email me or message me on social media, I receive whatever you choose to send and use it only to reply. There are no accounts, no newsletter, and no comment system on this site.
Your rights
Under Turkey’s KVKK and the EU’s GDPR, you can ask what personal data I hold about you and request its deletion — just email me. For analytics specifically, you can opt out via your browser settings or Google’s analytics opt-out tools.
Changes
I may update this policy as the site evolves. The date at the top reflects the latest version.
