Privacy policy

Last updated: October 1, 2026

This initial version of Gut Elements is a statically generated website. It does not require an account and does not maintain a reader-profile database.

Technical information

Our hosting provider, Cloudflare, processes limited technical information, such as IP address, browser type, referring page, requested URL, and performance data, to deliver and secure the website.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand, in aggregate, how readers use Gut Elements—for example, which pages are read, how visitors arrive, and which outbound links are clicked. Google Analytics uses first-party cookies and may process IP-derived approximate location, device and browser information, and on-site activity. Google Analytics 4 does not log or store full IP addresses.

We have turned off Google signals and ad-personalization signals, and we do not use analytics data to build individual advertising profiles. Analytics data is retained for no longer than 14 months. You can block analytics cookies in your browser or install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. Learn more in how Google uses information from sites that use its services.

Affiliate links

Affiliate networks and merchants may use cookies or similar technologies after you follow an affiliate link. Their processing is governed by their own privacy policies and settings.

Information you provide

If you email us, we receive the information included in your message. We use it to respond, evaluate corrections, or manage a business inquiry and retain it only as reasonably necessary.

Your choices

You may use browser controls to limit cookies, avoid submitting personal information, or contact us to request access to or deletion of information you previously provided directly.

Policy changes

We will update this page when the website adds services such as a newsletter, forms, advertising, or other analytics tools.
