Privacy policy.

How this site collects, uses, and protects information about your visit.

Scope

This policy applies to mattdecrevel.com. For the portfolio site at decrevel.dev (and the labs subdomain), see its dedicated policy.

What I collect
  • Page visits: the URL you visited, the page you came from (referrer), your browser and device type, and coarse location (country, region, city) derived from your IP address. Your IP address itself is not stored.
  • Interaction events: contact form submissions, booking requests, outbound link clicks, and similar product-analytics signals.
  • A random session ID stored in your browser's session storage so multiple page views in the same visit can be grouped. It's cleared when you close the tab.
Tools I use
  • Google Analytics 4 — page views and events, gated behind the consent banner. When accepted, GA4 sets _ga and _ga_* first-party cookies. Default retention is 14 months.
  • Vercel Analytics & Speed Insights — cookieless, privacy-friendly aggregate measurement used to monitor performance. Runs regardless of consent.
  • My own database (Neon Postgres) — stores the same page-view records described above for my internal analytics dashboard. No cookies involved.
Consent & your choices

Google Analytics runs in Consent Mode v2 with analytics storage denied by default. Nothing is written to cookies until you accept the banner. You can change your mind at any time:

Vercel Analytics and the internal database receive page-view data regardless of your consent choice — neither uses cookies, and neither stores your IP address. Google Analytics is the only tool gated by the consent banner.

— re-opens the consent banner so you can grant or revoke analytics storage.

Your choice is saved as a browser cookie named mdc_consent_v1. Clearing cookies for this site in your browser resets it.

What I don't do
  • I don't run ads. Ad-related Google Consent signals are kept denied regardless of your choice.
  • I don't sell, share, or otherwise hand your data to third parties for marketing.
  • I don't fingerprint you or try to link your visit to another identity.
