Privacy Policy

What we collect

Analytics: we use Google Analytics 4 to understand, in aggregate, which guides people read. GA4 sets its cookies (e.g. _ga) and processes data under Google's privacy policy; in GA4, IP addresses are not logged or stored. We see counts and trends — never your name or identity. You can block it with any content blocker or Google's own opt-out add-on, and every page keeps working.

What our scripts send to Analytics: since 24 October 2026 they tell GA4, in aggregate, when a feature is used: a click on a WhatsApp, share or partner link (and where on the page), a language switch, a video play, a map control, the first use of a calculator, and the words typed into the site search, which show us topics we're missing. They never send what you enter in the calculators, your reading list, or your location when you use the map's locate button. The budget/CFE calculators and the save-for-later reading list run entirely in your browser; preferences live in local storage on your device and are never transmitted. The neighborhoods map fetches OpenStreetMap tiles only when you activate it. The live weather chip in the header asks Open-Meteo (a keyless, cookie-free weather API) for Mérida's current temperature — a single anonymous request, cached in your browser for 30 minutes.

Server logs: standard hosting access logs (IP, page, time) exist for security and capacity, as on virtually every website.

Email & WhatsApp: if you write, we receive what you send and use it only to reply.

If this ever changes

If we add privacy-relevant features in the future — analytics, a newsletter, comments — this page will describe exactly what is collected and why before those features go live, and the update date below will change. Privacy-respecting, cookieless analytics would be our first choice.
