Site & Privacy Policy Disclosure

Consent: Undecided(stored in localStorage)

Last updated: February 14, 2026

Introduction

This website (mosessolaoke.com) is owned and operated by Moses Sola-Oke. Your privacy is important to me. This policy explains what information is collected, how it is used, and your rights regarding your data.


This policy complies with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and other applicable data protection laws.


Scope

This policy applies to all visitors and users of mosessolaoke.com, regardless of location. If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or California, additional rights and protections apply to you as described in this policy.


Analytics and Tracking

This site uses two types of analytics:


Simple Analytics (privacy‑friendly, cookieless)

  • Used to measure general usage (e.g., page views, referrers, UTM parameters, device type, screen size, approximate geography at a broad level like country/region).
  • Does not use cookies and does not store personally identifiable information. IP addresses are not retained; data is aggregated and anonymized.
  • Configured to respect your browser's "Do Not Track" setting. If DNT is enabled, Simple Analytics will not collect visit data.
  • Events may be proxied through this site's domain via Netlify to improve performance and reduce third‑party requests.

Microsoft Clarity (session analytics)

  • Helps understand user interactions (e.g., clicks, scrolls, and page engagement) to improve usability.
  • May use cookies and similar technologies. Data is anonymized and used solely to improve the website experience.

Cookie banner, consent, and Google Consent Mode

This site shows a cookie consent banner the first time you visit. You can choose Accept or Reject. Your choice is saved in your browser (localStorage key cookie_consent set to "true" or "false") and is used to control whether analytics scripts are loaded.

  • By default (before you make a choice) the site sets Google Consent Mode defaults to deny for advertising and analytics storage. This means Google/analytics scripts will not store or read cookies until you explicitly accept.
  • If you click Accept, the site updates Google Consent Mode (and pushes a consent update to the global dataLayer) and then loads Google Analytics. The Google Analytics Measurement ID used on this site is G-L9J2NQPB2Z.
  • If you click Reject, analytics remain disabled and a consent update indicating denial is pushed to the dataLayer.
  • Simple Analytics does not use cookies and is not governed by Google Consent Mode. It may still collect anonymized, aggregate metrics unless you enable Do Not Track in your browser, which this site respects for Simple Analytics.
  • The banner also dispatches a storage event so other parts of the site (in the same browser) can respond to your choice.

You can also disable cookies in your browser settings at any time; doing so may affect how the site behaves.


Data Collection and Use

Personal Information Defined

"Personal information" or "personal data" means any information that identifies, relates to, describes, or could reasonably be linked with you. This includes but is not limited to:

  • Contact information: Name, email address
  • Technical information: IP address (when temporarily processed), browser type, device type, screen size
  • Usage data: Pages viewed, referrer sources, time on site, clicks, scrolls, and interaction patterns
  • Preferences: Cookie consent choices, theme selection

What We Collect

  • Contact Forms: If you submit a contact form, your name, email, and message are collected for the purpose of responding to your inquiry. This information is not shared with third parties except as required by law.

  • Analytics Data: As described in the Analytics section, we collect anonymized usage data to understand how visitors use the site and improve user experience.

  • Post Interactions: When you like a blog post, a hashed identifier (derived from your IP address with a salt) is stored in our Neon PostgreSQL database along with the post slug. This allows us to track which posts you've liked and prevent duplicate likes. Raw IP addresses are not stored.

  • Cookies and Local Storage: Cookies and browser local storage may be used for analytics (with your consent) and to remember your preferences (such as theme selection and consent choices).


Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)

For visitors in the EEA/UK, we process your personal data on the following legal bases:

  • Consent: Analytics tracking (you can withdraw consent at any time)
  • Legitimate interests: Responding to contact form inquiries, improving website functionality, preventing fraud and abuse
  • Legal obligation: Complying with applicable laws and regulations

Data Retention

  • Contact form submissions: Retained only as long as needed to respond to your inquiry and fulfill any related request (typically 30-90 days). If you'd like a submission deleted sooner, contact me and I will remove it.
  • Analytics data: Google Analytics retains data for 26 months by default. Microsoft Clarity and Simple Analytics aggregate and anonymize data; raw session data is retained according to their respective policies.
  • Consent records: Your cookie consent choice is stored in your browser's local storage and persists until you clear it or change your choice.

Your Rights and Choices

All Visitors

  • Disable cookies: You can disable cookies in your browser settings.
  • Change consent: You can change your analytics consent at any time by clearing the cookie_consent value from your browser storage and refreshing the page to see the banner again.
  • Do Not Track: To opt out of Simple Analytics, enable Do Not Track in your browser settings. When DNT is enabled, this site's Simple Analytics configuration will not record your visits.
  • Contact form deletion: You may request deletion of your contact form submission by contacting me directly.
